Danny Trejo health update after wheelchair & death hoax
Legendary actor Danny Trejo has finally addressed circulating rumours about his health and the viral false reports of his death after being photographed in a wheelchair.
Trejo, known for his tough-guy roles in film and television (notably the Machete series), was seen being wheeled through the Toronto Pearson International Airport in October 2025, sparking concern among fans about his well-being.
In response to the uproar, Trejo told reporters, “Everything’s beautiful,” and credited recent knee replacement surgery for his need to use a wheelchair when navigating airports and crowded spaces.
Additionally, Trejo had previously shut down online death hoaxes that falsely claimed he had died. On Instagram in September 2025 he posted: “Thank you all for your concern but I am very much alive. Someone is spreading fake news.”
Fans and followers responded with relief and support, emphasising that their favourite icon remains active, making public appearances and continuing to work. The actor’s clarification serves both to reassure his audience and highlight how quickly misinformation can spread online.
