  1. Actor Danny Trejo has taken to Instagram to let the world know he is not dead, despite what you may have seen online to the contrary. “Thank you all for your concern but I am very much alive,” the 81-year-old star of Machete, From Dusk to Dawn and Spy Kids wrote on Instagram on Sunday. “Someone is spreading fake news.” The rumors gained weight when actor John Leguizamo shared a mock-up of a fake death tribute post on Instagram on Saturday, which had been circulating online from a fake social media site. The traction of the post forced Trejo to shut down the reports. 

  2. Ayo. Making me think he died by telling me he didn’t die.

  3. Had a fucking heart attack seeing this.. wtf is that title?

  5. Jesus Christ this title almost gave me a heart attack, do NOT play around with Danny Trejo’s mortality around me

  9. Jesus, I really should finish the sentence before reacting

  10. Oh thank God, I haven’t seen any of this. I would’ve been so sad.

  13. This headline fucking sucks. I had a heart attack reacting to El Tortuga’s death

  14. John Leguizamo posted something on his feed earlier and I was like wth.

  17. Well wording the headline like that CERTAINLY doesn’t help

  19. Please never be this dramatic again! You gave me such a startle with this title! I read it aloud and admonished your verbiage to my husband! Oh, my heart. This man is a gem. He must be cherished.

  22. ‘Machete’ Actor Danny Trejo, 81,…

    Come on! Why did you do this to me!?

  23. Bro…. Don’t put a man’s credit, name and age in the title like that.

  26. well, if any one can shut them down…it’s Danny Trejo.

  29. This gave me whiplash because I just watched him “die” in a Rhett and Link video that released today

  33. Would be some crazy publicity for the most recent episode of Rhett and Link’s Wonderhole though.

  35. It’s a shame, a lot of workers lost a gig when the Death Rumors movie got shut down.

  36. Aw man! Was readying myself for awful news first reading that headline.

    Trejo still does funny voice acting on a sweet little show I watch from time to time on Disney, *Big City Greens*.

  37. Didn’t even know he was 81 LOL – dude has looked the same for like 20+ years. What a weird title too, trying to make us think he died wtf? like why include his age, that’s what you do in real obituary postings not generalized articles.

  40. Death tried to take Danny Trejo, but Danny Trejo kicked death’s ass severely.

  41. I was about to be really sad. Dude is a legend and also seems like a super cool and kind person.

  42. Fuck this headline. Whoever wrote it needs to experience massive diarrhea at a very inconvenient time.

  46. I was so happy to read the second half half of that sentence, that man is a treasure, happy to hear he is alive and well.

  47. I once heard Death came for Danny Trejo. Danny looked him right in the eye socket and said no. And that was the end of that.
