I can’t believe he’s 77. I love his acting!

@IndyAvocadoKid Год назад

He’s 77? Geez, I’m only 62 and I kinda look like the Crypt-keeper from the tv show nowadays, ahahahaha! 😂

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.

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.

@downhilltwofour0082 3 года назад

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!

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. 😀

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.
