The Untold Truth Of Danny Trejo

Danny Trejo is always there for those in need. As he explained to the Hallmark Channel, every day, he tries to help someone, putting "thermal underwear, socks, [and] old shirts for the homeless" in the trunk of his car, and adding that it's simply the way he "[feels] good."

Well, the year prior, he must've been feeling really good after he helped save a family from an almost-life-threatening accident. According to The Washington Post, the "Machete" actor was driving in Los Angeles when he witnessed a car accident, resulting in an overturned SUV. As he ran to help a mother stuck behind her driver's door, he then realized the woman's mother and her son were in the backseat. The boy, who Trejo recalls had special needs, was "panicking," and as he smelled gasoline, the action star knew he had to act fast. "I said, 'We have to use our superpowers,'" Trejo recalled to the outlet of distracting the boy while another bystander rescued the grandmother. "I told him to flex with his muscles ... I just kept the 'superpowers' game going and he flexed until we got away from there. I kept facing him away from what was going on."

According to the outlet, the scenario went viral. The boy, who wiped his shirt on Trejo's shirt, caused the actor to rip it off, meaning viewers got a chance to see what probably felt like an IRL scene from one of the star's action-packed flicks. Epic.
