Robert Trujillo is a perfect example that dreams do come true when you put hard work and effort into it. The legendary guitarist recently made rounds online as he seemingly predicted the trajectory of his career as written in his yearbook; what did he aspire to become decades ago?
According to Loudwire, the Metallica musician went viral online after a fan took to a Reddit page to share their dad's yearbook photos, and among their father's schoolmates was Trujillo.
In the image, a young musician could be seen and he completely looked different from his long-braided hair image in the present.
