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. Trejo remains a prolific working actor in movies and TV, appearing in the 2024 films The Night They Came Home and Tim Travers & The Time Traveler’s Paradox. His most recent work has been providing voice-overs for Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ninja Turtles, Futurama, Chibiverse and Krapopolis. On August 29, Trejo appeared at a special Los Angeles screening of Machete last month and took part in a pre-screening conversation with screenwriter Álvaro Rodríguez.
