Holamiitu fam, today we are joined by the one and only
00:04
Danny Trejo. Thank you Thank you so much.
00:10
Thank you so much for coming in to talk about one of
00:12
the most anticipated films of the year,
00:16
Zootopia 2. It's amazing.
00:18
This is amazing, a lot of fun,
00:20
and, and both parents and children can love it,
00:24
you know, they're gonna love it.
00:26
Definitely, and we're so glad Zootopia is back,
00:30
but a lot of us grew up watching your movies
00:34
and basically grew up with you.
00:37
Like we were talking about earlier,
00:39
not sure if you know this,
00:40
but,, you're considered an honorary Theo to all of
00:43
us in the community.
00:45
were you aware of that,
00:46
or how does that make you feel in the,
00:49
in the airport every time I'm Theo esto machete.
00:53
The kids will be like,
00:55
I, I think it's what an honor.
00:58
Yes, no, definitely,
00:59
and you'll be playing a lizard,
01:02
named Jesus in Zootopia 2.
01:05
They call him Jesus,
01:06
but he walks on water pores.
01:12
it was, it was such a,
01:13
such a joy doing this movie.
01:15
It was just such an unbelievable.
01:16
The cast, unbelievable.
01:18
Like Shakira, Shakira,
01:20
Shakira, Shakira, Shakira.
01:24
That's it. That's it.
01:26
But, but she's in and Macaulay Culkin,
01:30
and,, it's a just an unbelievable cast all the
01:33
way down. I'm just so proud,
01:38
Jesus,, he's kind of the guy that,
01:41
that sets everything right in this film.
01:43
So that's, I don't wanna give away too much.
01:45
Some of you have seen it,
01:49
And how much of your own personality do you bring to Jesus
01:55
but when you do a voiceover,
01:59
your voice, the directors never want me to change my voice
02:03
you know. Everybody else,
02:11
That's how everybody. Everybody don't have that.
02:17
you have an iconic voice,
02:18
honestly, and shifting gears,
02:20
you are a bit of a foodie.
02:23
I love food for those outside of LA who may not know
02:27
you,, you have a few food spots,
02:29
right? Trejos tacos and Trejos Coffee and donuts,
02:33
which I used to live by actually.
02:37
what is your go to taco order?
02:39
Well, you know what I like carne asada.
02:41
I love carne asada tacos,
02:43
and so that's when I,
02:44
that's when I walk in they make me one,
02:47
and,, they won't let me go to the donut
02:49
shop no more. Pineapple fritters.
02:55
Order the pineapple. They're delicious.
03:01
but we're opening up another restaurant in London.
03:05
London, in, in Portobello Road,
03:07
and then we're opening up one on the,
03:10
Amazing. Yeah, that's awesome.
03:14
wow. Go to London and stop by.
03:16
Tell them I sent you.
03:17
Hey, and then can you also tap into the old mode
03:23
like any advice for young people in 2025 or the upcoming new
03:29
one of the things that I always say and I tell classes
03:32
that I talk to is that.
03:35
I'd rather shoot for the moon.
03:38
And miss the name for the gutter and make it.
03:41
And the biggest problem is that a lot of kids are
03:47
taught to to shoot low,
03:51
you know, no you can't be a lawyer,
03:53
no you can't be a doctor,
03:56
you know, I mean you can all you gotta do is
03:58
just hey, do that study and,
04:00
and you. Anything you want.
04:02
You're solid proof. You shot for the moon and look where
04:05
you are. You're a star,
04:09
and you have played some of the toughest characters on
04:12
screen,, but what is something you have a soft
04:15
spot for that you're like,
04:17
My son Gilbert, he's a director now,
04:21
he just became a director so he could tell me what to
04:24
do. I know Amanda and he did a,
04:31
he did a film called From a Son,
04:36
a son that Dies of an overdose and my mom used to
04:41
say that every time I was out at night and I got
04:46
hurt she'd wake up she knows I'll go paso if something happened
04:51
you know, and she would feel it and he
04:53
put that in the movie when he dies.
04:59
You see me wake up on little stumble,
05:03
and then I go into his,
05:05
his inferno, you know,
05:07
looking, looking for him,
05:08
you know, and I think that was some of the best
05:11
work I've ever done.
05:17
I, I tried to like cry like John Wayne,
05:29
that's when you know I was crying when you,
05:31
when this hurts from the urge to like yeah and so but
05:38
he showed me baby pictures all week.
05:42
remember when Danielle, remember,
05:44
and,, and so yeah man,
05:50
And when, when he said cut,
05:52
I looked around all the crew was crying.
05:54
Oh God. So he was an amazing,
05:57
amazing director, yes,
05:59
and not just to tell you what to do,
06:01
but. That's amazing.
06:04
I love it when every once in a while I come on
06:08
tone it down. You're overacting.
06:13
Oh well thank you so much Danny for your time and
06:17
everyone let's give him a round of applause.
06:23
