When I was a plumber in LA I fixed his toilet real quick. He was so impressed he invited me out to lunch with him.
Heron after lunch did you get to use the toilet.
@@bubbathebulldog3809 🤣🤣🤣
Hes a drug counselor.. he wouldn't go out to lunch with heron.
@THE Don Spaghetti & Ravioli fuck you ball of spaghetti shit
That's good of him.
Fellows like Danny Trejo are what makes America great!
@matrix49A Except he's not a rapist
@matrix49A everybody makes mistakes in their lives to see those mistakes and be a a person to recognize those mistakes and to become a better person and to be in a place where they could give you another opportunity I think that's what the guy was trying to say
Matrix49A-- You're the one who's an imbecile thinking that Americans like Danny Trejo are trash. What one thing have YOU accomplished to be a positive role model? Let me guess....nothing
Trejo has been to Hell and back and developed into an extraordinary person. Everyone makes mistakes. Only the wise learn from the errors of others then choose to take a different path.
Yeah in the past. Nowadays Hannity, Tucker and company do.
@matrix49A How ignorant
I bet trejo was rejected all his life and now that he made it big his haters want to talk to him
That is probably very true. Money and success mean that people who once never had time to see him now seem to find the time do it.
Gorilla Blue ... most of if any of trejo's haters are fucking dead. :p He's 74 fucking years old. hahaha.
Thats always how it works! Get some money or even fame and people or relatives come out of nowhere
@@chrisginoc, that is the time to tell them to all fuck off.
And the gentleman that he is he probably embraces each and everyone of them
Danny Trejo is an awesome dude. He turned his life around after a rough start, and look at him now. This is an example that you can be redeemed from bad mistakes in your past.
Still a drug counseler what a cool guy
Yeah, just like the MURDERERS who walk around carrying a BIBLE after they are in Prison.
@@jesscast5122 Check your own backyard before you check someone else's.

I know where I stand and what I can say about this Low life Criminal
@@jesscast5122 But you go outta your way to watch a criminal. Gtfoh goofy.
@@jesscast5122 you again smh 🤣🤣
Truly a humble and positive personality. Danny is a class act all the way.
7y
Respect for him changing his life around, but he was a very bad guy in his past. People should watch his Howard Stern interview, he goes into detail. Dude was straight up loco.
Humble? he's just a Criminal Capitalizing on his expertise as a REAL Criminal......
@@jesscast5122 its called changing for the better open up your mind a bit and your heart
His life story is definitely a brilliant story of redemption and that we can all get second chances in life.
“For $350 give him a stick!” Great response. 😂
Right Uppercut that was my favorite part also!! Just to COOL!!
I have always admired Danny Trejo. This interview confirms the reason why.
Big facts!!
No cap, he's the real deal.
His story of redemption is very inspiring and proves that we can all get a second chance.
So Kermit made Danny Trejo cry? That's the most badass thing I have heard in my life...
When Danny said that, I grew a beard in less than five seconds.
@@shrisub881 John Jobs, no job for you..
@@shrisub881 Really doubt it, buddy. Dumbasses that can't get punctuations right in their first and probably only language don't do much.

"Never heard of her"

🤣
Hahahaha😂 nice one!
Lol
.epic ...
I'm native American Nahua Azteca and Apache love this guy 🙏🏾🌎🙏🏾 he a real man
REAL CRIMINAL you mean......
@@jesscast5122 He changed his life around. Can't judge people for old mistakes if they change for the better,and help others along the way.
@@jesscast5122 he changed his life but u could keep hating like if u can do anything big
I will never forget the day Danny Trejo came up to, 2 friends of mine, & myself at Venice beach back in the late 80ds, he was so excited to tell us he's going to be an extra in a movie. I'M happy that God was helping Danny through this journey to where he is today ! This had to be God working in his life !
That is amazing
This guy is genuine bad ass. Amazing how he made it from jail to Hollywood.
God is Good bless you Danny👍😇🙋
God is Good bless you Danny👍😇🙋
Respects for this guy who turned his former life around
What an awesome human being. You should be proud of yourself sir.
He is cool, but he lowkey makes Mexicans look bad. For example in the dating world many women think we are like his hollywood characters.
Proud of Prison?
Thank you
@Heath Sims Because he could use well his second chance. That`s why. You are not free to commit a crazy thing and use well your second chance, IF you could have one. You never know.
LOL, You are innocent & Naïve Barry.
To me this shows that when anyone is given a chance, they can achieve great things and pass on great things. This dude helped people as hard as he had been through his troubled years. He really wasn't all that hard. What an actor and what a heart!
This is one of those guys that u can listen to tell stories all day
Danny Trejo and Terry crews are my two favorite “known for their look” kinda guys. So down to earth.
Yes, Cruse is a beautiful soul. Just watching that video with them talking about not really having a dad so to speak. Then them making an effort with their son to get involved with video games..it was amazing.
Terry crews is super down to earth
Oh man what a great comparison!!!
They are both wonderful, kind and humble guys in the industry. I'd love to see them in a film together, playing heartless psychopaths lololol
Just cause they are totally the opposite but look the part.
@6:20 you really see the passion and emotion that bubbles up when he talks about the kids. Danny Trejo is the kind of human you want on this Earth as an ambassador to humanity. A man who spent his early life getting in trouble and now he's doing so much for people. You can see his heart is a good one. Bless you Mr. Trejo
Danny Trejo deserved this, alot of other convicts that try to do right afterwards deserve a break too.
Agreed
Danny Trejo is a prime example of why you should never judge a book by its cover. He might be scary looking and tough but once you get to know him he’s an amazing chef and a wonderfully nice human being who would give you the shirt off his back
Have you seen grand daddy daycare?
most people whether they have been in jail or not are nice once you know them, people are not inherently evil they just have problems and make mistakes.
@Delon Duvenage well said
Danny Trejo is one of those people that you come across in life who is truly genuine and that is what makes him so special. There is no pretense about the man, he is just who he is. One of his best roles was in a movie called "The Replacement Killers" with Mira Sorvino and Chow Yun-Fat. He plays a hit man and there is no show of emotion of any kind until just seconds before he himself is killed and then he gives that signature grin that he has which says "I f**ked up bad." One interview he did the question was asked, "When did you realize that you had made the grade as an actor?" He laughed and said, "They took me to a room on the set to meet the rest of the cast. I didn't think much of it until they introduced Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, and Tom Sizemore along with director Micheal Mann to me. That's when I sort of realized that I might have made the grade."
Wow dannys story about his mother bought me to tears
That kermit man.... He get you
I teared up myself

How do people not know Desperado?!?!
dbalta915 I remember that one of my favorite movies from the 1990s I am a fan action movies from the 1980s and early to mid 1990s and fan of action stars like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Willis etc in their hey days. Movies like Desperado, Heat etc some classics of Trejos
I agree...but it seems to be one of those movies that a lot of people have forgotten about......love that movie....have it on dvd....probably watch it 2 -3 times a year...lol
I know right, salma and those tig ol bitties!
I wondered the same thing
Once upon a time in Mexico
I met Danny Trejo his daughter and Baby Bash in Park City, UT during the Sundance film festival. One really cool dude.
That's a guy who've been at the bottom and at the top. The result is a beautiful person.
You love to see it!
Man, what an awesome guy. One of the nicest men in Hollywood, and not an arrogant bone in his body.
one of the realest too
“He might sock you”
“For $320 give him a stick! Are you crazy ?Ive been beat up for free”.
Damn That’s a Real Man.💯
Good things happen to good people..this is proof.
You can tell this dude has a heart of gold.
I liked his role in from dusk till dawn with George Clooney
Bikers & truckers only.GET OUT
What a great gentlemen 🥂
Respect
Gentleman is right...
She knows how to dress modestly👍🏽
You damn right .
Yeah, kinda like a nun.
Unfortunately. She's stunning.
Why does her outfit matter at all?
I love how mortified she is when Danny tells her about his prison tattoo. What a legend this man is.
I worked in the prison system here in Kansas as a Substance Abuse Counselor and we had videos that Danny Trejo put out specifically for the prison system. I love him! He has helped a lot of people by telling his story. I wanted a copy of his videos for myself, but, they are only available for Department of Corrections.
Real vatos know this ese from Blood in Blood out! "La onda dont shine shoes"

Give me some chon, chon.

Man. This one of the most genuine wholesome interviews I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Man is just unique with an outstanding personality. Wow
I love you bro. I'm in recovery too. I look up to Trejo
His best roles is on Blood In Blood Out, Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn. Machete series go hard too
Johnny Rojas same I love those movies
Johnny Rojas Heat in 1995 where plays Trejo one of Robert De Niro’s crew members and fellow bank robbers was another good role of his and helped as an advisor on Heat to give the crew input on bank robbing with his criminal history.
Blood in who did he play..
@@OGGOAT23 Not sure what his name was in the movie but Trejo was the one that caused the diversion for Miklo to go put a hit on the cook that had a crush on Miklo.
He did not talk too much in Blood in Blood out. But I remember him saying : LA ONDA do not shine shoes LOL
Danny is one of the most memorable actor to me because of the movie: From Dusk Till Dawn, I didn't even remember most of the movie even the title of the movie itself aside from him.
Sex Machine.
Anthony Johnson he wasn’t sex machine he was the bartender lol
@@brycecoulter23 Okay. I must have remembered it wrong. LOL. So who was Sex Machine, the one with the revolver down by his balls? Which actor was that?
Machete
@@anthonyjohnson9922 Sex Machine was played by Tom Savini ( he also did some of the special effects and stunts in the movie ).
Awesome how he turned his life around. Biggest respect... Oh and he is awesome in movies...plus he could probably still kick all of our arses😅
Please Danny..write a book
What an incredible life
To be honest, I've never disliked a movie he's in. Really great actor and wonderful personality💕
"I take my time, but i always win"
-Tortuga
He was awesome in Breaking Bad....a great performer.
When I laugh and cry at the same time I feel God presence.
You’re a great human being and great Christian God bless you Danny. Made a living God protect you and your family.
i really like him and the fact that we are also seeing the softer side of this guy makes you like him even more.
Kristine asked great questions. Nothing fake about her.
I honestly loved watching this and seeing this side of him. He's always been known to be the bad guy but this shows a truly humble softer side.. And also may I say he does look awesome for his age
I've seen all Dannys movie's except spy kids and Muppets. I had no idea he was such an amazing person till I seen this interview. Now I'll be watching Muppets and spy kid's. Lol
He is very amazing and very interesting! I love him!
Love it when "scary bad guys" are sweethearts like this. I dunno...just makes me smile.
michael clarke duncan was like that... so menacing looking and such a great person according to actors.
@@nelbelmont I dont think he was very menacing looking. I mean yeah, he was a really big guy but most of what makes someone menacing derives from the face. His face wasn't too menacing to me. But yeah I've heard he was a nice guy too though
He looks a cool guy
Danny is the man, this rose is for your mother one more angle in heaven 🌹
Real Living Legend 😎 🍻🍻🍻
One of my favorite actor EVER wish him ALL THE BEST and many, maaany more movie's. Big greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷 to all ✌😄🙋🍻🍻🍻
(I apologize to all for my bad English)
Good job on the English!! 👍🏻
Just because u a criminal doesnt meen u r not a good guy, just made bad decisions and woke up 2b one of the nicest guys in tye MOVIE INDUSTRY
I love this man and Liam Neeson so much, they both have no idea they inspire someone so much they do not know. Love you two, and hope to see you both in one movie. MAD RESPECT
damn i hope i look and feel that Good if i make it to 74🔥✊🏾🇲🇽🇺🇸
amanita333 don’t start that shit
Clicked out of curiosity and left an instant fan. This is probably one of the most honest and humble interviews I've seen. Now this is someone in Hollywood who I would want to have a conversation over coffee with. He sounds like a true diamond in the rough.
one of my favorite actors..hands down..love his story..much respect to Danny Trejo👍👍
Damn this woman is absolutely stunning

yup..agreed...@joystick casa..hehhee
I didn't see her pull out a stun gun even once!
When he laughed I knew what he felt. Some people who grow up rough don’t cry but laugh at sadness
I am still waiting for the day that the Governor (currently Gavin Newsom) comes to his or her senses and grants this man a full pardon. Part of the problem with the "system", is that it instills the idea that there is never any forgiveness and redemption (once a con, always a con). And Mr. Trejo has proved that its possible to turn your life around and make a difference and it is about time his state / government recognizes him for that.
Agreed but the sad part is that he will get his pardon after he dies..
D.E. Sarcarean - "Part of the problem with the "system", is that it instills the idea that there is never any forgiveness and redemption (once a con, always a con)"
I think that mindset, once a con, always a con, is a great philosophy. I'll give a few reasons
1. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. You cannot get away with committing a crime simply because you didn't know your actions were illegal. You're responsible for knowing what a felony is and the repercussions for committing a felony. For example, Until the day you die, your felony offense will be a matter of public record for anyone to see. felons can't vote. Felons cannot own firearms. Certain types of careers will always be impossible for a felon to obtain etc. The examples I've given are the law in my state, not sure about all states.
2. This is seen by the "system" as a form of deterrence and the reason why it's enforced for life. The "system" reasons that if you're interested in a becoming a teacher, federal employee, police officer, pharmacist, banker or you want to vote or own firearms you won't commit felonies.
@@donmiller2908 I respect your opinion but I fundamentally disagree. First, it makes all offenses essentially life sentences with parole and actually denies someone the ability to "repay their debt to society". Second, you used the word "felony" but I doubt you actually know what that word means. I know you are thinking "It means a felonious crime!", but you would be wrong. Since the 70s, politicians have redefined that word to mean anything they want in order to achieve political ends. Third point, you mention "ignorance of the law", well here comes the irony to your statement: you've commit many, many felonies. And I do literally mean you, a person I have never met. Congress passed over 125 felony criminal statues last year, how many did you read? Again, according to you, ignorance is not an excuse. How many total U.S. criminal statues are there? Take a guess. I can say, confidentially, that every single U.S. citizen commits federal crimes on a daily basis and most without thinking about it. In the early days of the internet did you use Napster to download a MP3? Last time you were at a U.S. park did you accidentally take a rock home with you? When Andrew Cuomo (Gov of NY) was a child, he picked up an eagle feather and took it home (of which he STILL has the feather to this day and its STILL a federal crime to posses an eagle's feather). You ever tell a bill collector you didn't have the money to pay a debt or deposit a check in your bank knowing you would be paid the next day? You guessed it, crime and crime. The previous President admitted in his books to a dozen or so felonies (possession of cocaine, conspiracy, etc.). So that leads me to the conclusion: a justice system you are content with, as long as its not you who gets caught. If you would like to further research this, then I suggest you read the book: Three Felonies a Day. Its about how most Americans commit (you guessed it), 3 felonies without ever realizing it.
D.E. Sarcarean - "So that leads me to the conclusion: a justice system you are content with, as long as its not you who gets caught"
Pretty much spot on. But tell me, even if you believe that the current justice system is seriously flawed you must realize that it isn't going to change merely by having people complain. I imagine it would take a revolution on the order of the one that ousted the British. And you know that isn't going to happen.
@@donmiller2908 Which is why I suggested in my first post that the Gov. use the one power that does sometimes corrects the system. No different than the last CA Gov. that pardoned Robert Downey Jr. for the felonies he committed. But I would argue that Mr. Trejo has done more good for the people of CA than Iron Man.
Danny Trejo is an American Dream.
Mexican Dream *
thai magalhaes He was born in the U.S, but basically in a Mexican territory back then “California”. So yeah Mexican.
@@magic6601 What fresh nonsense is this? Danny was born in LA in 1944... 🤕🥴😆
Kombinatsiya Yeah, but what I’m saying is that California was once from México why do you think there’s a lot of Mexicans there?
@@magic6601 ooooookk
stop interrupting...let him talk damn it.
👍
Right
I had privilege of interacting with Mr. Trejo while I was working as car mechanic in Encino. He is a really good person. I wish him all the best.
Danny Tejo is one of the greatest life inspiration you can have . Every time I am feeling down I always think of him .
I love this interview! Danny's face are one of those you expect that will have lasting stint in the movie industry...
When he opened his vest up in desperado and had the knives with the crosses on them I legit thought that’s the scariest man on the planet of course I was 9 when the movie came out he’s a great bad guy
He plays on the flash. When Cisco is trying to hide from him it's hilarious 😂
Speaking about movies, i never like his movies and his roles. Bad bad movies. But when it comes to him as a person, this interview absolutely gave a great point of how good person he is.
A very humble man who knows God blessed him with plenty of miracles in his life.
I love this guy. . He did a great job showing his comedic side in the film Delta Farce.
with all he's been through, watching his career blossom has been a pleasure. Seeing him on the Flash, finally NOT being an evil bad guy has been a real treasure - like he finally got away from those stereotypical "desperado" type roles. Love this damn guy
This lady is an excellent interviewer, very good at her job and Trejo wow what a way to turn around your life brother respect.
i met him once he rolled up next to me and started chatting about stuff so random nice guy too.
Great story teller, can listen to him for hours. Would be awesome to have some beers and Tacos with him.
All these fair game interviews are so good. Big up Kristine Leahy !
wow, so much heart and depth to man. really enjoyed watcing tis interview..
We are all sinners and the best of sinners are those that repent. What a genuine gentleman.
Well said sir
Love him. Real one.
I supervised the sound on Spy Kids and shot Danny's ADR. What a happy soul he is. Nice guy. This is one of the best interviews of him that I've seen. Thank you.
Danny Trejo’s son lives in Lompoc Ca. And he was my customer at the gas station every morning. He drove just a regular old car and worked hard for his money and said his Dad doesn’t give him anything. I said does that upset you and he said No. he wants me to make it on my own out here and learn to appreciate a dollar. But said if his son ever got in a pinch he’d be there to help. I think he is raising his son the right way. Btw, his son is a very nice and respectable dude and has a good way at looking at life
Desperado was the best movie in those days.
Good on U brother, your parents Will b the happiest they've ever been
You did a great job interviewing. I felt genuine emotion and intrigue. It was nice.
He has real swagger. It's obvious he is a good guy.
Danny Trjejo is awesome
Trejo is awesome
Danny Trejo is a living legend in my opinion!!! He's a survivor of Life & a genuine humble nice guy!!! One of the greatest & most recognisable B-movie stars of all time
this is actually a amazing interview lots of personal questions no demeaning tone i hope this lady is popular
I love Danny Trejo ! From Dusk Till Dawn was F*CKEN NUTS !
A great guy.i have been in 5 movies and a couple of tv shows with him.he is so cool in person.
I thought this was a bullshit comment but then I looked up HEATH YOUNG on IMDB and I think you're telling the truth?! I mean, what are the odds of someone doing research on Danny's life and finding some random dude who starred in movies with him, create a CZcams account in his name just to post a trivial comment?
@@kombinatsiya6000 i have his personal cell number as well.but you arent getting that .
A fantastic interview with an amazing person!!!
It's like the famous phrase says looks can be deceiving.Great person,family man and a great actor.
Uncle Machete!
Danny Trejo isa real life badass on and off camera. Looking good for 74
I met him briefly at a motorcycle poker run fund raiser. Very nice guy and soft spoken. Our family went to his donut shop and I have a Danny Trejo coffee mug on my desk. Huge respect.
This the most genuine it gets
