Danny Trejo has shared some very kind words about his son on Twitter.

Danny Trejo is known by the world for his illustrious acting career. From his appearances in Fast and Furious to his most recent voice acting in the instant cartoon hit Minions: The Rise of Gru, Trejo is known for his versatility.

The star is both an amazing actor, and a great father. Trejo is a father of three. One of his children, Gilbert Trejo, has previously struggled with drug addiction, and today, Gilbert celebrated a major milestone, and his father publicly celebrated as well.

The actor took to Twitter sharing a very sweet picture of himself and his son. The tweet reads,

"My son Gilbert Trejo has 8 years clean and sober today! I love you so much, and am so proud of the man you've become. Any parents out there with children struggling with addiction, I didn't think my son was going to make it and today he's my best friend! There is hope!"

This open sharing of love has inspired an outpouring of sharing from others on the app. Many have started sharing their stories about their own success stories, struggles with addiction, or watching others struggle with addiction.

The internet can be a cold and mean place at times, but it is moments like this that show that people still know how to come together to support each other. No one is really going through it all alone.

Congratulations to Gilbert on this truly incredible accomplishment.
