Danny Trejo has one of the most fascinating life stories of any actor working in Hollywood. Born in 1944, Trejo participated in his first drug deal aged 7, was taking hard drugs by age 12, and did multiple stints in prison in the 1960s where he met Charles Manson. At this point he wasn’t on a good path and decided to parlay his tough-guy looks into a film career.
This blossomed into a steady career of bit parts playing toughs and prison inmates, before eventually graduating to roles in bigger movies like Heat, Anaconda, Con Air, Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn. But it was a role in Spy Kids that really earned him worldwide fame, going on to star in Machete, make his Star Wars debut in The Book of Boba Fett, and even appear on The Masked Singer.
Trejo has built up a ton of goodwill along the way, so naturally fans are here for what’s got to be the most bizarre bit of merchandise in a hot minute:
Well, we appreciate the attention to detail in getting his tattoos just right and supplying a machete comb to brush his “beautiful dark hair” with. Ordinarily, we’d raise an eyebrow about the note that he “smells just like tacos”, but if that’s cool with Trejo then it’s cool with us.
Replies indicate that fans are hungry to get their hands on My Little Danny. We can’t deny seeing this little guy hanging around our home wouldn’t put a smile on our faces.
And hey, at least it’s not an NFT!
