Bad news, gang: Ron Jeremy, a man immortalized in a Sublime song and a veteran of roughly every porn film since the eighties, is in critical condition after an aneurysm near his heart. He’s about to undergo emergency surgery.
Jeremy, 59, the star of more than 2,000 adult films, drove himself to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles early on Wednesday after suffering from chest pains.
“He just felt chest pains, like a very heavy weight,” Jeremy’s manager Mike Esterman told Reuters.
“He is being worked on for an aneurysm near his heart,” Esterman added.
Jeremy, nicknamed the “Hedgehog” for his short and hirsute body and known for his large mustache, parlayed his porn star fame into mainstream celebrity status by appearing on the American reality television series “The Surreal Life” in 2004, and by being featured in an advertisement by animal-rights advocates PETA.
His memoir, “The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz,” was published in 2007 by HarperCollins, a division of News Corp. [Reuters]
It seems what happened is that the vein, instead shooting the blood into his heart, just exploded and started squirting blood all over the backs of his internal organs. I’m sorry, that was terrible. But I think Ron Jeremy would appreciate it. More than anything else, he seems to have a great sense of humor about himself, and that’s why people like him. Anyway, I hope he gets that blood back flowing in the right direction. Get well, Hedgehog.
Incidentally, my porn nickname was “The Panda Bear,” because I was mostly uninterested in sex and just laid around on my fat ass eating bamboo.

If, God forbid, Ron Jeremy doesn’t make it, the entire porn industry will wear black girls on their faces
I’ll be flying my boner at half mast.
My fucking god that was beautiful.
Ten Cum Shot Salute
21 Gunt Salute
Peter North would just ejaculate a flock of doves over the funeral.
“Ten Cum Shot Salute” – An image I don’t think I’ll ever get out of my head and I’m not sure I’d want to.
Known for his large… mustache. Nice work Reuters.
This.
My porn name, my first pet plus street I grew up on, is Reggie Decatur.
That sounds like a black guy who wears shades and never takes them off during his scenes and I’m ok with that.
My porn name is Cream Abdul Jabbar. It’s because I’m white and I score a lot and I grew up on Jabbar Boulevard.
Just kidding. My porn name is Rat Malcolm Luther King.
By these rules, I can’t wait until Bo Pennsylvania starts doing porn.
“Rat Malcolm Luther King.”
Movie tagline: “More than just a mouthful to say”
Going by Agent Utah’s criteria for porn name, mine would have been Spooky Beaumont. LOL.
Simply amazing.
Gizmo Oaktree is ready to take names and bang…. oh who am I kidding. With porn name like that I would have been relegated to getting off all the BBW’s
Sillycat Bridle Path. Worst porn name ever.
David Elm. I believe that one is self explanatory.
Wow. I was crossing the street on Sunset near the Whiskey last week and walked in front of Ron as he waited in his banged-up-to-shit Saturn at the light.
//cool story bro
Ron Jeremy drives a Saturn? Man, that is dark.
Yup. When I got back to my co-workers to tell my tale, I lead with “Guess what Ron Jeremy drives?!”
Are you sure that wasn’t an out of work Persian rug salesman?
I actually took his order at Burger King in the eighties. My porn viewing was limited at eighteen, but I recognized that guy though I didn’t figure out his name until later.
Usually Ron Jeremy is driving your anus. Please forward this comment to your mom.
I guess his Probe and Explorer were in the shop.
P.S.: Whoever names the models at Ford is a sick fuck
“Ron Jeremy drives a Saturn? Man, that is dark.” – Ron Jeremy is a notoriously cheap man.
ditto, @logs… in that documentary he NO problem claiming to be a “cheapskate of the Hebrew variety.”
*insert heart on joke here*
My porn nickname was “the goat” becuase I would eat anything.
Right about now Ron’s putting the “ass” in “Triple Bypass.”
Internal red pearl necklace? sorry
“He just felt chest pains, like a very heavy weight.”
Maybe he was lying on his back and his dong rolled onto his chest.
Is this the first well known pornstar to not die of AIDS/Car Wreck/Suicide?
Also – that’s gotta be the 400cc’s of viagra he’s got on tap, right?
I blame Dwight Howard.
My porn nickname is Antibiotic Bob because of all the chlamydia.
I don’t know why this image persists in my head but I will never forgive them if he’s not buried in a powder blue tuxedo with a frilled shirt.
His life flashing before his eyes is probably pretty fucking amazing.
I got to drink with him and Lemmy at the Rainbow. It was one of those really weird nights that always reminds me why I stay the fuck out of Hollywood when I’m drinking.
Ron Jeremy is the perfect porn star because he doesn’t have to resort to BDSM to degrade a chick. His mere presence is degrading enough.
That was his early stuff. Later they became horrifying. Like “Saw” porn movies.
The fact that this happened and Evan Stone is still a functioning human being is proof that God doesn’t exist/only likes girl-on-girl action.
How the fuck did he drive himself to the hospital after a heart aneurysm?
Also I thought your porn nickname was your middle name plus the street you grew up on…?
Because ‘Patrick 32nd Street’ makes the chicks go wild. Get better Ronnie.
That’s what I’ve heard more than first pet name. Or middle name and the current street you live on.
“David Torino”
Numbered streets don’t really work. Until the porn clone-bots become a reality.
