Danny Trejo<\/a> is alive and well, despite a false social media post that had fans believing the Hollywood<\/a> icon had passed away.<\/p>\n Over the weekend, a memorial-style post dedicated to Trejo’s life began circulating on Instagram before it snowballed across platforms. The situation escalated when fellow actor John Leguizamo<\/a>, who once shared the screen with Trejo in The Infiltrator, reposted the claim and led many to think the report was legitimate.<\/p>\n The news spread so quickly that Trejo himself stepped in to calm worried fans. “Thank you all for your concern, but I am very much alive. Someone is spreading fake news,” he said.<\/p>\n (Image via Instagram)<\/span><\/p>\n Trejo’s representatives also confirmed there was no truth to the rumor, assuring that the Machete star remains in good health. The hoax was especially jarring because Trejo had recently spoken to TMZ about real loss in Hollywood.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next.

Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n He reflected on his late friend and Heat co-star Val Kilmer, pushing back on old stories that painted Kilmer as difficult.<\/p>\n “Val was one of the A-List actors in Hollywood, its top of the line,” said Trejo. “The minute you walked on set, whether you were an A-List player or not, he immediately made you feel like, ‘Hey what’s up!’ He didn’t care whether you came out of Strasberg<\/a> or [not]…You were there, you’re an actor, that means you’re part of the crew.”<\/p>\n He added, “He immediately made you feel like there was no list. But Val, I can’t say that he was a problem. To directors, he was more of a perfectionist. To the cast, he was just a blast.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Danny Trejo Criticizes Kim Kardashian for Convict Firefighter Comments<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Weekend Reading: Danny Trejo Is Immortal<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Danny Trejo Recalls Being Hypnotized by Charles Manson While in Jail<\/span><\/p>\n Sophie Rain Doesn’t Believe Lil Tay Made $15 Million in Two Weeks on OnlyFans<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \u2018The Long Walk\u2019 Marches Onto the Big Screen<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
