Danny Trejo Recalls Hypnotic Jail Moment With Charles Manson
HuffPost
The cult leader "could have been a professional hypnotist," the "Machete" star revealed in his new memoir.
Danny Trejo once got hypnotized into thinking he was high on weed and heroin during guided meditations led by the notorious Charles Manson, the tough-guy actor has revealed in his new memoir “Trejo.” Future cult leader Manson, who died in 2017, told Trejo during their time together inside Los Angeles County Jail in 1961 that “he had hypnotic powers and could get us high,” wrote the 77-year-old “Machete” star. Manson, whose followers would go on to murder several people including actor Sharon Tate in 1969, was “greasy, dirty, scrawny” and “so poor, he didn’t have a belt, and instead used a piece of string to keep his pants up,” remembered Trejo.
