I met Danny Trejo and I can agree he is a amazing guy, litterly. He is extremely respectful and we even talked about life events. When I told him about mine he actually broke down because of how hard it was for me and I have autism. It was amazing to talk to him and that was like the best moment of my life. I met him in Las Vegas NV. He goes there often.
People with autism are upgraded souls reincarnated to reflect the creators pure light in a world where darkness has domain. My son has autism and he is amazing. I’m blessed he chose to come through me.
@@porkchawpshandappleshash789 I have epilepsy What was the creator blessing my soul with when he stuck me with that?
@@trappedintimesurroundedbye5477 I hate when people throw religion with mental health. It's irritating.
@@trappedintimesurroundedbye5477 "The creator" didn't give you epilepsy. Genetics did.
Great
I can’t believe he’s 77. I love his acting!
He’s 77? Geez, I’m only 62 and I kinda look like the Crypt-keeper from the tv show nowadays, ahahahaha! 😂
Side note: It took 11 years to finish the tattoo on his chest by the same guy. He started it when they were cell mates, the guy went to another prison, Danny meets up with him again and the guy finished it. Danny said that on the Howard Stern Show, best interview ever.
Mr. Trejo has my total respect. He started out with a very rough time in his youth and he turned it around. Not many human beings could do that!
I will be purchasing the book!
I love his story of redemption. It’s truly inspiring and proves that there are those who are given a second chance and will make the most of life.
I will tell you as a recovering addict myself there is nothing more freeing then break the chains of addiction that strangle your soul. Danny Trejo God bless you
Gigi, I do not care that I do not know you, I am proud of you. So damn proud.. Recovery is hard. I too am an addict. 12 years clean and its the best feeling in the world.
Proud of both of you.
@@woodswal thank you!
@@angiethompson5648 thank you for those kind beautiful words because they touch my soul so much and I appreciate you very much as do I appreciate @woodswal
You guys are your own personal superheroes. You found the strength and courage to break free from drugs and save your own lives.
His laughter truly comes from his heart.
He's one of the most incredible person ever. I like how he was able to rebuild his life and go on to be a famous actor and mentor to young kids. Plus he owns 8 restaurants.
"To have once been a criminal is no disgrace. To remain a criminal is the disgrace."
danny trejo such a underrated actor, he really brings life to movies, makes movies feels alive when you watch it
Such humble man!! You can tell on his voice, the way he talks and the way he’s face expression is.
Realest dude ever! Thank you DT!
Just heard his talk on WTF podcast. Great respect for turning his life around and trying to be a good human being.
I met Danny Trejo in here in Austin, Texas when he was filming Machete. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met. We talked for like an hour and told him my struggle with addiction to cocaine. He actually listened, he has total compassion.
I just finish reading danny Trejo book. I read it in one day! I couldn't put it down! That's how good it is! God bless you Mr. Trejo please continue doing your good work,and please never forget where you came from. ✌ and ❤ my friend
I am currently ready his book, and a couple of pages in I was already crying. Life is so hard at times and I am so grateful to hear that there is a light at the end. Good times. Thank you.
I love the fact that inside his home looks so ordinary and not full of fancy furniture. Everything that made him the man he is today, is what he cherishes.
400 movie credits, wow, I had no idea!!!
He’s scary on the outside but a softy on the inside.
First time I saw him was in Heat back in the 90s.
@@yvonneplant9434 I’ve never seen that movie. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
@@thegreatcatsby409 it the movie starring AL PACINO AND ROBERT DE NIRO in the first time they appeared on screen face to face!
@@eddiejoewalt7746 so cool! Two great forces meet face to face 👍
How many times has he been killed in a movie 450 lol ?
Have to get this book!! Loved him for years!
"Times are changing. Ladies, they can do stuff now" 🤣 Glad he got his 2nd chance at life. He's become a great actor.
I'm crazy about Danny T. Love his acting & his spirit. I want to read his book!
I met him on a motorcycle run in Southern California. THEE MOST HUMBLE AND DOWN TO EARTH HUMAN. EVEN ONE ON ONE.
Fun fact: Trejo knew and was also a friend of the individual or individuals who started La Eme in prison otherwise known as the Mexican mafia.
I salute this guy man I will try getting this book dude he’s actually played himself in IRL on movies he’s also had a rough life man
he seems so sweet!
Your very beautiful 🌹
An amazing actor, and an even touching story. Will order his book!
Danny T is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met. Thanks for all you do.
His uncle was in good shape.
🤣
@Cali Raider Mexicans are mixed withe native and European blood....some are not mixed....
I love Danny Trejo one of the greatest actors....the best
I just finish reading his book! It was amazing I highly recommend it!!! Became more of a fan !
He is absolutely genuine and lovable.
I don't buy many books (I rent from the library), but I'm seriously thinking of buying his book. If he does a book tour, I'm definitely getting it.
Love him. I had the pleasure of visiting one of his restaurants when I was out in LA a few years ago.
When I see him I know the movie is going to be good.

He seems just as cool as I imagined🥰💯

I just read his memoir two months ago. Amazing book. I hope to meet him one day.
Danny's uncle looks just like him.
danny trejo taught me about the four B's that you need to make a movie, and for that i will always be grateful
I love him!!! He is so forthright and shows such caring for others. ♥
My husband met Damny while working in films in Hollywood. Said he was a real nice man. He walks the walk he talks.

I hope one day to meet this man. Currently reading his book and it’s purely amazing.
Love that guy so humble
He’s legendary
LOVE DANNY TREJO!!!
Much respect og not to shabby a vato from the hood puro chicano style!
Just love this man! Genuine and some damn good rugged looks!
His head on a turtle's back was his best scene.
Hola DEA
I’d love to read his memoir.
He lives so modest !!!
He's a total gem 💎
I love Danny ❤️
Love this guy...🤠🙂
Love this man he is truly a good actor I love all his movies 🤴👨🚒🦁✍🐯🦁
Danny's new book is a great read and explains how he got through a lot of life hurdles. It would be a good movie to show how one can get away from a bad life direction, even if you're in prison. He had many negative and positive mentors. Never give up.
Good for him. God bless him.
I met him in 2003 in NYC outside of my job, Virgin Megastore. Got a pic with him. Super chill guy.
Iam going to buy his book just because to read his Stories,his Life and his Journey literally because Fate and God had other plans for him instead of a tombstone or getting killed he is an Awesome,Humble and Great human being that I can tell and he always mentions Jesus name in his interviews and for that I admire the guy he knows which he has to be thankful and greatful too that gave him a second chance,opportunity which is God that's who,he came from nothing,now hes Somebody a Successful,Blessed Mexican,Latino we are very Proud of him because hes Representing Mexico name up high to the highest level and I think they should really do a movie about him his early beginnings when he was locked up and after when he got out of prison that would be soooo Awesome and Cool.
His son did a documentary of his life called 'Inmate Number 1' that I actually rented on Cable. It was worth it. I've had Cable for a number of decades. I don't think I've rented more than 5 of anything on Cable. I'm too cheap. 😀
You will NOT be disappointed; I have the book and read it. Couldn't put it down.
Amen
an amazing man
Looks like a BAD guy, CAN be a bad guy, but without a doubt, nothing but GOOD inside. #DannyTrejo❤🙏👊

Amazing report I can wait to read
Blessing Mr Trejo thank you for helping people
I’d love to see his garage collection on Jay Leno’s CNBC show
Danny is the true legendary badass!
We love Danny trejo
And can I just say how handsome he was when he was a young man wow.
Danny is such an inspiration ❤️
Good! For! Him! LOVE him!
I would love to meet Danny Trejo. You can just tell he’s such an amazing soul.
Danny trejo was awesome in Heat !
Danny Trejo is a true inspiration. Had his book on backorder and got it on the 6th.
That man is all HEART
That’s right👏🇲🇽
Love this man. I see the same feel the same
They talk about this guy at AA meetings like the second coming of christ lol
Because he's the proof that recovery works.
I have to go check myself in see and hear about that.
Great story, well told.
"Mi Vida Loca" and "Sherrybaby." He is an excellent actor. He just needs the right scripts.
He’s not a bad guy, just misunderstood.
I love both where he lays on the ‘prison floor’ and when he sits of the cruddy sofa covered in moving pads or horse blankets. I love that he’s so successful, and of course he enjoys that, but he’s keeping it real for himself.
I wish I could get personal life guidance from him, but I’m not bad off enough I suppose.
VIVA TREJO!!!
Danny on director status nowwww😊
I love Danny...he is awesome💗
He does not look 77.
From prison boxing Champ to a successful man much love Danny!!!
77??? He looks good
I'm buying a Trejo t shirt right now
God bless him
I love him 😘
I could've sworn he was at least 20 years younger!
I love you Danny
Can’t believe he’s 77!
My man!!
Mad respect.
I may be 21 but I've grown up watching him
Ok whatever
