Danny Trejo's son has claimed that his father had no idea who conservative commentator Ben Shapiro was before agreeing to star in The Daily Wire's upcoming Minneapolis movie.

Danny Trejo may be wishing he read the small print. The beloved Machete star found himself in the unlikely position of having to clarify that he’s not “pro-ICE” earlier this month after it emerged that he’s agreed to star in a new movie produced by the decidedly pro-ICE conservative media group, The Daily Wire.
In fairness to Trejo, he’s not the only one surprised to learn that the outlet, co-founded by MAGA podcaster Ben Shapiro in 2015, is making a serious play to seize the means of Hollywood production.
Why this matters: The involvement of high-profile stars like Trejo and James Franco in Daily Wire movies may raise questions about their motivations and potential impact on their careers.
