Los Angeles native Danny Trejo first worked with his second cousin, movie director Robert Rodriguez, on the set of the 1995 film Desperado, in which Trejo played the infamous assassin Navajas. Now, in the wake of the duo’s hit movie Machete, Trejo’s first lead role in a feature film, the actor gets personal in his MYMAG. His selections from Inked magazine tell us something about his taste in tattoos, and whether he prefers Velvet Revolver or Guns n’ Roses, it’s clear that Trejo loves him some Slash — top hat, curls, sunglasses, shredding riffs and all. And be sure to check out his choice from the British movie magazine Empire; Trejo is spot-on with his pick for the best article ever written about Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.
