Best line ever “Im worried about regular intelligence than artificial intelligence” 😂
😂😂
indeed
Well said..
Boomer alert! Tom Cruise plays with regular intelligence. The rest assume AI or something else. That's why Tom Cruise makes money!
@@narata1541Exactly! 👍
"I see you just left a message for the governor. And what was that message?"
"Call me!"
🤣🤣🤣
Danny Trejo is a fu@kin' legend.
Same energy as the Mike Tyson 'Spinal' comment.
Lmfaoo
What a dumba$$ question after hearing him say, " Call me!"
Haha 😅right
@@hunterrgntrshe’s probably on the slower end. She’s American give her some credit
Not only a great actor but also a real human being.
Shouldn't you be ransacking a store?
@@tannerpaisley-ve6dq 😂😂😂😂😂 too funny
Idk bout that
Love this man. He's not wrong.
That's his goal though. Hey I'm a nice guy, and I want everybody to win. I'm harmless. You got a friend in me buddy. He's an actor. If he can't support Trump he's just playing it safe forever.
Trejo: "Hey Newsom! Yeah call me!"
Reporter: "So you're leaving a message to the governor, what's your message to him?"
Trejo: "To call me."
Legendary as always 😂
Bro I’m ngl I laughed so loud when he said that lmao
Legend shiii
Hahahah😂
LOL
😂😂🤣😹
It's amazing how people can transform if given an opportunity. Danny Trejo is living proof, what a good dude.
Lmao he hasn't paid his taxes
Is he high ? Cause his bottom jaw going to the side
He being Machete was amazing!
Most will end up back doing bad after release
aren't these the same kind of people that were against the internet?
Trejo is a good man ,a voice for the people . Thank you 🙏.
A voice for the people?? What people, the one percent?? You're clueless.
@@jonasandezekiel1109 Agreed
He should be the next SAG president
Danny never disappoints man😂
Who is Danny for world wide that's comment for not social media appropriate please LoL social media world wide not your mind please educate it social media not domestic okay okay
@@r.k.m9801speak english
@@kuttj I am not western countries sorry for that
Danny Trejo keeping it 100%! Making a phone call during an interview is classic. 😂
I call it rude.
@@unitedkingdomoffiveeyes9765he’s a busy man
That he thought Gavin Newsom would take his call is more hilarious
It’s called acting.
more like an act
"We're all on the Titanic looking for a good seat" Damn that was hella poetic. This what modern society feels like right now 😩😅
It's true. Their industry may be changing radically like textiles did with automation.
Look I paid good money for this voyage. I want a window seat as it is being lowered into the Atlantic.

They need a pay rise ?😂 doctors and nurses should get one first
Actors read a few lines get paid millions 😂😂
@@ravd8082 Doctors need a pay raise??
Modern society. It's always been a struggle off and on for the working class. Especially to get pay raises to make up for rising cost of everything else.
He is Totally 100% of a Famous Legend, Way To Go Mr. Trejo!
Famous what you population please tell me don't disappoint world wide femous words
In social media it's world wide not domestic
Danny always breaks it down as only Danny can.
“ I’m worried about regular intelligence “
😂😂😂
😂😂
He's right tho 🤣💀
😂😂😂
Ain’t that the truth
I spit my water out that I was drinking when I heard that. lol
This guy scared the crap out of me as a kid. And I just love him to death as an adult!
Omg! I completely agree with you! 😂😂😂
He is sooo humble went to his restaurant and he was there, took time to thank us for being there eating delicious tacos yuuuuummy.
Lmao so true!! ❤❤
He even has his own Taco restaurant
For me he still does. I'm just surprised he's a short guy. I always saw him a 7 foot tall gangster
Danny is 79 years young at this time. He is awesome.
" we're not all taco store owners !" 😂
I love this guy. What he said about AI and using their image without payment makes so much sense.
What about the 10's of thousands making movies who already lost jobs due to AI and not in the unions. You know... the people who struggle actually making the movie.
Netflix made a movie about this
@@darrenporter1850 Well he did mention the small guy aka the gardener and small restaurants surrounding the area.
What’s going to happen though is that AI will create images that don’t resemble any current actor.
Lies again? Paramount Pictures Pay Pal
“I’m worried about regular intelligence”😂😂 I knew this was a classic interview when dude was on the phone with Governor.
I swear this is the best kind of interview.
It shows that actors are just people with jobs.
Imagine the pull you have when you can call Gavin Newsom and say “Call me”. Lol.
@@lauralarrabee7870 lmao
Danny Trejo would have made a great twd governor
😊pll
He’s a real one. Love him!!! Down to earth
Lol U have Hard work then u have successfully completed your goal please educate your knowledge and forward next generation
This man is a legend! Telling it like it is. ❤
Almost 80 and still living his best life
First i saw him when I was a kid, now I look old as him.
He is that old?
He looks typical of older adult like boomer generation does
There’s what’s up
@@popoymotmotyep 79 years old
Are worried about artificial intelligence?
Danny: "im worried about regular intelligence" 🤣 hilarious but so true. What a great interview he hit the nail on the head with everything and maintained humility and humour. What a guy!
It perfectly reflects my thought on that. It's not the actual state (or the future) of AI that can bring troubles, it's how people's gonna use it that creates the problem.
No intelligence worries me
That's so funny.
My bro got his point very cleverly😁
I think it should worry people. Immensely. I really wish people would wake up. Cuz Disney is years ahead. Disney is attempting to own the likeness of the actors portraying their characters. We all seen it coming with Tupacs hologram at Coachella. McDonald’s already implemented a fully automated restaurant, so flipping burgers jobs are going to disappear. Target has more self checkouts than ever before and they don’t require locking everything up. The inception of Electric Dance Music has brought us to a future where music has to have no lyrics just mashup of sounds and crashes. Not to mention even scrapping sewers is now being done by robots. I think the actors need to put in their contract that Hollywood strays from stealing their likeness period. Or get paid for generations to come. Think ahead. Cuz Disney is.
*"It's like we're all on the Titanic looking for a good seat"*
Goddamn that was a cold ass line 👌🏾
Danny Trejo is a genuine human being. Watching him in the interview was like watching a member of my family on TV.
I was thinking exactly the same 😂 It's like watching my coolest neighbor being interviewed on tv while he's still yelling at someone on the phone
I’ve always loved Danny Trejo. He is real and came from a real place. Love his movies and being. Not a phony.
Hers a real actor. Your right.
I cam from a relatively small town. I guess I'm not real. 🥺
Love me some Danny T....a straight talking, talented man, who picked himself up...talking about helping to pick his fellow actors and actresses up.... a true class guy.
I had the honor of meeting Danny yesterday and it’s something I’ll never forget! He’s just so down to earth in person! Thanks 🙏 for being you Danny
Danny is a actor that I feel is underrated!! His movies are phenomenal and we all love a bad ass with a husky voice!! Happy to see he's aboard helping these writers!! Much Love Danny💙🤍💎🤍💙
I absolutely love this guy, he was everyone’s uncle and he still acts like everyone’s uncle. Hell yah
Well said 😌 facts 😌
Danny is just one of those guys who knows something is wrong and supports. Not really articulate or can explain exactly the ins and outs but a good heart supporting a good cause.
That's most people in the industry, they're workers. They're hard working.
Why do you have to have a master's in philosophy to get paid for work you did? Makes no goddamn sense.
Edit: That's residuals for ya!
Yep. "That robot gonna act better than me.."
Yea he's 2.5 mil in hole with irs. He needs that money. People don't realize that the average actor isn't making much. He articulated that well. Ppl think of cruze and others but they are a minority
he's a hypocrite
@@12Nordseehow is he a hypocrite?
Tom cruise deserves all the pay he gets tbh. He puts his life on the line every time he does a movie.
Danny Trejo has always been loyal to the streets and that's what makes him awesome. He's been there, done that, and has NEVER turned his back on where he came from ❤
this dude has been in every movie ever made
He's in a ton of video games and cartoons too.
Only in the 90s and early 2000s he was everywhere. He was one of the main bad guys in Con air, he was the first victim of the snake in the opening of Anaconda, he was a vampire in From dusk till dawn, a bad guy in Desperado, a thief in Heat, he was always in the Spy kids trilogy, he played another bad guy in Xxx and he was the first victim of Michael Myers in Halloween from 2007. But his best role is still Machete, really fun flick, a stilysh violent fun movie
and only got 500k net worth :(
@@goodvibesonly7406 lol you’re out of your mind if you think he’s only worth half a million . It takes about that to open two restaurants.
He also play the father in law in the movie Harold and Kamar Christmas movie
"I am worried about regular intelligence" Yeah, the whole world agrees 100% 😂 I love Danny Trejo ❤
Not the whole world. Cause obviously they're are many tricked souls out there really excited and vouching for this stupid A.I. introduction. 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️
This man has been that age forever😂. Seems like a genuine good dude
It is a shame that Danny Trejo never has gotten as big as he should be. This man has always been amazing
Not as big as he should be? That's every struggling actor in Hollywood in a nutshell.
Danny being Humble and ground to earth as always. He’s very true to his words
Not a fan
Ground to earth? Do you mean down to earth? 🤷♂️🤦♂️
It's so humble using a protest to advertise
I love him🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
La Raza🎉🎉🎉🎉and I’m a black woman
Danny is gold, he literally poured out some incredible real world lines of smartness, wisdom and streetwise authority that No AI script bot could ever do, and all on prompt. He’s forever an exemplar of life turnaround success after his early adult life nearly ruined his future when it kicked off on the wrong foot.
Well stated. Trejo was offered a wonderful opportunity, and he didn't squander it. And, as always, the "villains" and "tough guys" of cinema are usually some of the most insightful, kind, lively, and compassionate souls out there. Seriously. Just look at Clancy Brown for one more example.
No doubt. Unfortunately, life is changing drastically. Where these individuals had to grow up with computers taking the jobs they always knew. We as growing adults are competing with robots. This tech is upgrading far too quickly.
In a few years even social workers won’t be required.
Who do you think will be faster?
A human speaking over the phone with emotions?
Or a computer with years of conversations and Logs that can answer or determine an answer faster than a human can open a textbook to double check an answer? I think the intellect of us, humans, at this point in time is at an all time low, and corporate offices know this. No one can think for themselves anymore. Everything has to be googled because most people can’t remember yesterday. Let alone when the Trump admin declared the switch from the Physical age to the Digital age. And while no one believed me then, now Disney has announced it will begin haunting production on physical media starting with Australia.
You’re kidding right
Diks out for Harambe
@Novastar.SaberCombat nothing Pulsonar said was well-said. It reads like something written by someone who barely passed elementary school.
This man has been in more than 400 movies and just as many tv shows. If he is worried about money then everyone needs to be.
Danny Trejo is a cool down to earth guy. Wish him the best
💚Love him, love him, love him💚. He is so real. I met him at a drug and alcohol convention in Yakima, we were so honored that he shared his testimony with us. I’m still in awe, he made a point to come to our table where the youth kids were and took such an interest in them. What a guy, couldn’t say enough about what a wonderful man he is and such a blessing to others. God bless Danny Trejo! 💚🕊️
You’re from Yakima?!
@@jlopez0710 Right outside of Yakima, yes. Are you from here too?
Yea. Born and raised. Dont live there anymore though.
@@jlopez0710 That’s awesome to come across somebody from around here on You Tube! Well, you haven’t missed much, still hot as heck during the Summer and lots of snow & freezing in the Winter 🥵🥶. I’m heading out of here myself, I don’t have a reason to stay here anymore after my family passed. Lots of good memories though. I hope you’re doing well where ever you’re living now. Yakima said to tell you “hi” 😉 ha ha!
Respect for Danny. 🙏 His message was put in a simple and funny way but still, truth hurts and it was really scary specially when it hits financially. Hope all turns out well.
He's much smarter than his language and body language suggests.
Nice I Ching avatar
And yeah Trejo is cool. What a lot of people don't get about this strike is that a lot of the big actors are doing this to stand up for the smaller ones. Some are selfish for sure but not all of them.
His message is, down with technology, let's live in the dark ages again.
Can you just shut up?
Reality is far different. The truth is actors and writers need billionaires to fund their projects, but billionaires can take their money and go home, they don’t NEED to make movies. The big money in Hollywood see this as a purge, this is their chance to get rid of all these actors and writers who are making all of these money losing movies and shows. 😢It used to be back in the 80’s that a movie that didn’t break even was extremely rare. Now more than half don’t break even.
Right here on CZcams there is great fan fiction! These people do it for free! Perhaps these actors and writers are very easily replaced? And I do think using anyone’s likeness is using their IP. But why do that? If you want AI characters, make original characters! The idea that celebrities sell movies is antiquated, Star Wars was the biggest movie ever when it comes to profits, and they were all unknown actors, and George wrote the whole thing. Yes Ford had a minor part in American Graffiti, but that didn’t bring anyone to see SW.
I don’t blame them for wanting their fair share, and standing up for themselves, but I think they’ve been had, this strike is what the billionaires at the top wanted to happen. They have plenty of money, they can go years and years without negotiating, the great purge in Hollywood has begun.
You’re right Danny. You’re not Tom Cruise…he’s a superstar who makes a lot of great movies. Last movie I saw you in was Spy Kids. I got enough John Wayne, Cary Grant, and Tom Cruise movies to last me. I hope woke Hollywood never makes another movie
“ It’s like we’re on the titanic looking for a good seat” lmao
"We're all on the Titanic looking for a good seat". Damn didn't expect Danny Trejo to sum up humanity that blatantly and out the blue in the middle of his ramble about actor pay.
#EvilExists even if you've never seen it before. There is no kumbaya future for humanity, no matter what. There will *always* be someone who exploits or takes advantage of other peoples' trust, period. Pretending that isn't the case is just keeping your head in the sand and hoping life should be like childhood. Your job isn't what puts food on the table - other people doing hard work and physical labor is what puts food on your table, and many other things you take for granted.

Danny needs to be cast in more voice actor roles. His voice is so unique and has so much character.

This is happening everywhere. Cost of living goes up, people are working harder and longer hours but the wages are not going up. Jobs are getting cut, Yet the major corporations are reporting record breaking profits….something is not right here
It's working as intended. The rich control society, and use their power to make themselves more money. For what purpose? Just having a number go up. They'll never use all their money
Its time to enjoy the Biden vote.
People need to adapt to industries that are hiring if they can. Healthcare, medical coding, robotics, etc.

“Trying to find the best seat on the Titanic” was a good one lol
I like this guy. Very honest and straight forward.
The “we’re not all Tom cruise” line is very true. A lot of people think that the actors are earning a lot but most of them are barely making a living from the earnings they get
I think they make a living wage. The problem is they choose to live lavishly and indulge in the Hollywood lifestyle. I agree with the writers, however many actors coming out saying “poor me” still make a ton of money and just blow it on designer garbage and other pleasures
@@kl690 The stars we know by name are a small minority of this workforce. The average working actor’s salary is about $60K per year and they’re not guaranteed to keep getting a paycheck after a given show or movie’s production shuts down.
As a teacher, I don’t know any millionaires but there are many in Hollywood. Perhaps if they didn’t over pay these big name actors there would be more to pay others. Just cannot relate. Teachers are told to just get another career, when we complain. There’s nobody looking out for us. Police, nurses, trash collectors…in other words middle America. Hollywood is not essential. We don’t need them!

Wow he looks way younger, almost same as in the Machete Kills
Youre right Danny..TOM doesnt invest in fast food restaurants and overcharge people with bad food..
I was glad to see him finally get the opportunity to play the main character in Machete. It was long overdue. He deserves more chances to shine.
Man it’s a scary world we live in. I’m not an actor I’m not exactly sure what they make. I’m sure it’s not anywhere between $10-$20 an hour like most common folks but I definitely agree with Danny. Everything’s going up and our wages have not gone up something needs to give!
Someone recently asked me what I make a day as an actor. I told him. I said I made about $2300 in one day on the last thing I shot. His eyes bulged out of his head and he was aghast with jealousy/disbelief/amazement.
I then told him that was the first thing I had shot in two years and it could be another year or more before I shoot another day on something.
His face dropped.
