One evening I was at a dive bar, talking with an MMA fighter from here in Omaha. His phone rings and he chats with the guy for a couple minutes, then says, "Hey, Danny, talk with my friend Kurt." He hands me the phone and it's Trejo on the other line. I was blown away, and he and I talked for a couple minutes about his movies and he was SO proud of his restaurants. That's his passion. I sensed through this short conversation this was a gentleman who truly loves life and making people happy now. Good for him for turning his life around and bringing joy (and great food from what he told me) to so many. CBS Sunday Morning is one of my favorite programs. The segments are positive, interesting, thought-provoking, and well-reported. Keep up the great work!
He’s a walking miracle. Ex gangster, and drug addict. He completely changed his life around. He seems like such a good dude. I hope nothing but the best for him. He deserves all his success. He’s what the American dream is all about. 👌🏼🇺🇸
What a great humble down to earth loving guy . Hes a perfect example for those who are in the wrong paths in life that its never to late to turn your life oround. I could only imagine how cool it would be to be able to kick it with him and just hearing some of his stories from his past. What an inspiration this guy is ...
Danny doesn't look 75 at all.He once said: Everything good that has happened to him was a result of something good he did for someone else.That proves he's put a lot of good karma out there.
I was shocked to find out he was 76. He's had the aged, lined face for decades, but his body, hair, way he carries himself is like someone in early-mid 60s.
So glad Danny Trejo turned his life around! I have really enjoyed watching him in his tough guy roles on screen. Can't wait to visit one of his restaurants!
I met him at an airport bar a few weeks ago. Very humble, nice guy. Told me how he used to sneak into Dodgers games as a kid. Hopefully he sticks around for a long while.
He is the most genuine, kindest, big hearted soul guy!!! Thats why he is soo successful, in his restaurant business and in his movies!! long live Danny Trejo, god bless!!!
Very inspiring! We think our lives are so without until we hear guys like this that come out of crisis and prosper. Only in America! This is the America we need.
Known now for all the right reasons, he seems like a genuine guy who truly appreciates his good fortunes. The scene at the end of this segment strikes me as the ideal “fade to black” as viewers see the wonderful mural of the older man in the parking lot where the troubled younger version of that man used to deal drugs. I hope a Hollywood director is smart enough to tell Trejo’s impressive story.
I'm so proud if Danny's life story, amazing example of perseverance and hard work!!! He deserves every good thing happening to him now and I hope his future gets even better!!
I'd like to eat there.. I love the fact that he does really well for himself, from a negative past towards a positive changing future.. Such and evolved being on a soul level.
One thing I love about guys like Danny Trejo, Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Jason Mamoa is that behind the tough guy film persona are these down to earth warm hearted softies.
A few years ago I was in Cali visiting my sister so we went out to lunch and ended up walking past him. I introduced myself, shook his hand and parted ways. He's a cool dude
I totally agree. Its only through helping another person that we are able to turn our life around. In fact, its through dedicating our being to a purpose greater than ourselves that we live a fulfilled life.

Kurt Goetzinger you should of ask him why his food is so expensive
@@daniellozada3408 it's overpriced sub par quality food. My dear beloved mother can cook better than most of listed dishes in his menu lol
I can not believe he's 75!
I can, open your eyes
I once thought I was wrong but I was just mistaken open your eyes
Ken Rascon open your eyes
Just shows you if you are serious about doing a one-eighty that all of a sudden spiritual benevolent forces encompass you 💖
Drew Benit open your eyes

I know, I don't even know him personally but I I really like the guy and wish him all the best
Its amazing how he turned his life around, a walking miracle.

yeah he's up there on my list too. Krayzie Bone be a number 1 and Danny Trejo be a number two

I can’t believe he is 75! I have always loved him and I truly respect him.
He was terrific in Heat. But then again, everything was terrific in Heat. Also, cant believe he's 75!
Never too late to turn your life around. He made lemonade out of lemons, that's for sure!!👺
I like your words..... Also you look good,, nice photo...I am on the clock here in Melrose Park Illinois USA watching this video on UA-cam channel
I disagree. Some don’t get a second chance.
So glad Danny Trejo turned his life around! I have really enjoyed watching him in his tough guy roles on screen. Can't wait to visit one of his restaurants!
It's never too late folks. Don't give up.
It's never too late, That's why you should #VoteRed #Trump2020 🇺🇸💪💯

There needs to be a movie made about him
#Inmate#1
There is no actor that can portray him right now. We need new blood to do it justice. Appropriately, someone who is Mexican, and hungry for work.
Danny is a pillar of the Recovery community, he is such a great person, really down to earth. A true rags to riches story...
"It never goes away?"
"nahh." I love how he said that.
Love Danny Trejo.
Danny Trejo - “Latino families eat really good from the 1st of the month all the way up to about the 19th, then after that it’s pretty scarce” 😆 😂 🤣
Riki Rikin kanayin are you going to be ok..? 😆 I literally quoted what he said. Take your liberal hatred for white people somewhere else, thanks!
Mexicans are latinos. In what world you live my dude? I dont hear the mexicans speaking german or japanese between them.
Latinos just means Latin in Spanish. Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Italians are Latin/Latinos.
People on social security as well.
Sounds like my life!
Been watching Danny Trejo for a long time and was aware of his amazing story which inspires me to this day . God bless.
THIS VATO is one of a kind!
Please tell our English speaking people reading this what Vato means! And YEAS HE IS!!
Vato means “man” or “dude” but with the implication of respect. Ie. “ that vato is damn good at his business. I wish I was that successful ! “
@@USNVA11 Maybe one day you will!
Danny is awesome. I love his acting and his taco joint looks amazing.
He is the most genuine, kindest, big hearted soul guy!!! Thats why he is soo successful, in his restaurant business and in his movies!! long live Danny Trejo, god bless!!!
Danny Trejo has helped Thousands of People get Clean an Find a New Way to Live...
Super talented Actor!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dude's 75 but even now is a total badass, willing and able to run to the scene of a car accident and save a baby. That's just AMAZING!!!
You can't beat Real authentic Mexican food! Just like real soul food! Absolutely awesome
He's 75 that goes to show if you take care of yourself age will just be a number!!!
haha this guy's looks 75 my man.
Really? He looks like an old leather couch
Alex S. Lol
@@alexs.5675he's living & getting around good!
I think genetics play a big part of that some people don’t age as much as others
I wish the best for the Big homie Danny Trejo. Hope big homie lives long.
We love Danny
Danny Trejo is really a good guy. I hope he's doing well in this trying times.
Damn when he said "Danny wake up we gotta go to chow" that was deep
What would you know about doing time in prison ?
@@conejoloco7502 I haven't been to prison but i've been to jail like 6 times or probably more
@@conejoloco7502 Ive been locked up long enough for someone to say "yo David wake up its breakfast"
@@davidzshit actually you havnt ..your full of lies
He is living proof that people with troubled pasts should get a chance second and sometimes even third chances to turn their life around and succeed.
Danny Trejo is a true example of redemption, may God continue to bless him!
For 75, Danny looks real good and can't help but to notice how he has nice, cool, long slick hair. He has them good Native American genes lol
I love how he changed his life. Good for you danny 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 God did Bless you.

Good to see Luke Burbank! Really great piece.
This man is a gem! Hope he lives for ever!
Dude is like the Rock. He just keeps showing up in action films.
The substance abuse programs still use him as an example of sobriety.
Haven't been to his restaurants yet, but I ordered some of his hot sauce. It's pretty damn good!
It is nice to hear that another actor is from The San Fernando Valley. That is where I grew up as well.
nothing but respect and luv for this human..... so cool so genuine 🤘🏼🤙🏼
*Luke Burbank looks scared throughout the interview...Trejo is the man!*
That is Luke's normal look.
La Onda dont shine shoes!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
A BIG shout out from Farmington New Mexico the 505 Navajo Nation...Much Love
I love his laugh and he ain’t lying about eating good till about the 19th of the month....
I hope the Lord gives him another 75 years we need more Mexican positive people like him!
Wonderful story shows what you can do when you work hard a change your life , he was awesome in Heat , God bless you Danny
A living legend and such a humble person. We really need to hear this.
He is 75 and looks amazing. What a life. Gods grace saved him.
Long as that spark of humanity remains a man can change his life for the better.
Massive respect to him for turning his life around
Read his book “Trejo” in 3 days. What a life this guy has lived, and he gives God the glory.
I love his tacos and his donuts!
Anna C. Sahlstrom lucky!
He plays a great tough guy, I'm glad he turned his life around.
He's a great role model for ANYONE, especially people who want to change their lives. Kudos.🌎✅🙏🏾
🔴😬WHEN YOU HIT ROCK BOTTOM HE TALKED TO THE LORD ASKED TO LET ME DIE WITH DIGNITY AND JUST ABOUT GIVEN UP IN LIFE WOW 🔴DAMN DANNY THANK YOU.

You trying arguing with this guy about your food lol

I love it, im hungry now. He's one of my favorite actors. 🤗👍😃💜
Matured late but right on time. Big props!
I'd like to eat there..
I love the fact that he does really well for himself, from a negative past towards a positive changing future..
Such and evolved being on a soul level.
Man I Love Danny Trejo, so proud of his success!
He's been my favorite actor alltime
Amazing man with a colorful past
God bless him. 🙏 may he continue to have beautiful sunny days ahead for him ❤
So humbled. Truly love this guy.
Loving that crease down the middle of the tshirt.. #classic
No you don't.
Beautiful redemption. Love and hugs to you, Danny. Proud of you
Love ya Brother. You give us....lead on.
I've been a fan of his since I was a kid in the 1980s. He used to be the old Charles Bronson action movies.
Real life super hero, thanks for the inspiration.
The realest of the real...much respect Mr Trejo!
Danny is such an amazing person. Keep your head up everyone
We as a family grew up watching Danny....and......We LOVE this guy!
I can't believe how nice he is, and that he's 75!
This guy is a national treasure.
He’s afraid someone will wake him up in prison and that it was all a dream. Sadly I can relate to that, I know what that feels like
Danny Trejo for president!
One thing I love about guys like Danny Trejo, Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Jason Mamoa is that behind the tough guy film persona are these down to earth warm hearted softies.
I Love you Mr. Trejo.
Trejo ran the gamut of life. No shortcuts. Learned something at every corner & became an inspiration to many.
This man needs a star on the Hollywood wall of fame
A few years ago I was in Cali visiting my sister so we went out to lunch and ended up walking past him. I introduced myself, shook his hand and parted ways. He's a cool dude
Always had respect for him from every movie to cameo. He's like that tough, soft uncle but will be rough if have to.
You Said It All Right!!😊
I totally agree. Its only through helping another person that we are able to turn our life around. In fact, its through dedicating our being to a purpose greater than ourselves that we live a fulfilled life.
Salute to Trejo
Well done, Sir
I SOOO WANT TO GO THERE, BUT I REALLY WANT DANNY THERE, LOVE HIM SOO MUCH , WHAT A GREAT ACTOR!!!!
Amazing!....another testimony to the power of the creator of our universe and giver of life
astounded by his age
Danny Trejo is an inspiration to us all!
inspiring. If I ever make it back to California I want eat at one of his restaurants!
The girlfriend and I have eaten at the location they were filming at. Some of the best tacos I've ever had. Wonderful experience!
Mad props for this homie! He was able to turn his life around despite his circumstances, thats a true warrior!! ✌🏽🙌🏽✊🏽
