Danny Trejo Busting Death Hoax: 'I'm Still Here!'
Danny Trejo Shuts Down Fake Death Rumors: "Someone is Spreading Fake News"
The 81-year-old convict-turned-movie star, Danny Trejo, has been living his best life, but it seems like someone wants to bring him back down to earth. A series of baseless and disturbing rumors have surfaced claiming that the legendary actor had passed away after suffering a stroke. But don't worry, folks, we've got the scoop - and it's not good for the person who started this false alarm!
The Faux News Factor
According to Polonia News (yes, you read that right... Polonia News!), Trejo allegedly suffered a stroke on August 19th. Now, we all know how easy it is to spread misinformation in today's digital age. But what's even more surprising is that none other than John Leguizamo, Danny's former castmate and buddy from back in the day, jumped on the fake news bandwagon by Instastoried 'R.I.P.' over this utterly false report! Talk about a questionable life choice!
Danny Sets the Record Straight
On Sunday, Trejo took to Instagram (which boasts an impressive 13.3M followers, by the way) to put an end to these ridiculous rumors once and for all: "Thank you all for your concern, but I am very much alive!" He also added a stern message aimed at the culprit behind this fake news campaign: "Someone is spreading fake news."
A Busy Schedule Despite Rumors
But let's talk about something that really matters - Danny Trejo's busy schedule! This Hollywood veteran has been keeping himself occupied with multiple projects, including hosting meet-and-greets and concerts for his record label, Trejo's Music. Just last week, he even attended the 15th anniversary screening of Machete at Vidiots in LA alongside screenwriter Álvaro Rodríguez.
A Legacy of Resilience
As we all know, Danny has had quite the tumultuous past. But what's truly remarkable about this man is his incredible resilience and determination to turn his life around. Just last year, he celebrated an impressive 57 years of sobriety, a feat that's left many in awe! In an interview with People magazine, Trejo shared: "I wasn't supposed to make it out of the '60s... nobody thought I was going to make it out of there."
The Man Behind the Legend
But what's even more fascinating about Danny is his rich personal life. He's currently starring in Victor Rios' crime thriller Wages of Sin, which premiered last Friday on Amazon Prime Video. In addition to this, he has an impressive 24 upcoming projects in the works! Talk about staying relevant!
Family Ties
But let's not forget about Trejo's family. The four-time divorcé has three beautiful children - Danny Jr., Gilbert, and Danielle - from his previous relationships with Diana Walton and Maeve Crommie. And did you know that he's also a proud uncle to Robert Rodriguez, the Independent Spirit Award-winning filmmaker?
Trejo's Next Move
After putting these baseless rumors behind him, Danny is set to attend the fourth annual horror convention Silver Scream Con in Worcester, MA on September 12-14. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this will be a well-deserved break for the man!
And there you have it - a thrilling account of how Danny Trejo's life was nearly cut short by fake news. But fear not, folks, because we've got the scoop, and the truth is out!
