Danny Trejo in real life?


Has anyone here ever had a real life encounter with the man himself? In all the roles I've seen him in, he almost always plays an intimidating criminal type, or just a general bad ass... but for some reason, I imagine him to be the complete opposite in real life, because actors can surprise you like that.

There have been a number of comments on this board from people who have met Danny, and from all reports he's the sweetest, friendliest, most totally NOT full-of-himself guy you could hope for. He loves his fans and takes a very tongue-in-cheek attitude about his badass roles. The incident that locked me in as a lifetime fan was his and his wife's involvement in saving a pitbull from the driver and passenger of a pick-up, who had the dog tied on the truck-bed and were beating and jabbing him with a rake. The dog was taken to Tia Torres at Villalobos Pitbull Rescue, and later adopted with the name "Trejo."

You do realize the guy is almost 70 years old now, right? lol

My ex girlfriends mom took a picture with him once. Im sure he was a nice guy. Seems nice.

I don't think any of the young girls who drool over Danny are kidding themselves about his age. In fantasies, time is flexible. For a man of 70, he's still smokin' hot and still has his unique and very sexual appeal -- a MAN among men, particularly for the legion of women who like bad boys. But his time as a bad guy is ancient history, and apparently he's a sweetheart. God bless him.

He's one of the most genuine celebrities I've ever met, and I've met quite a few. Though, he was much shorter than I expected!

I think everybody's a little stunned when they realize Danny's short. He's one of those men who give a Big Man appearance on screen, like Kris Kristofferson and Sylvester Stallone, both 5'8".
