Porn star drives himself to hospital after suffering an aneurysm

One of the pornography industry’s most famous performers has suffered an aneurysm, reports TMZ.

Ron Jeremy’s manager Mike Esterman told TMZ that the 59-year-old porn star drove himself to an L.A. hospital on Tuesday afternoon after experiencing severe chest pain. Jeremy remains in critical condition and is being prepped for surgery.

Jeremy, who acted as consultant on the films Boogie Nights and Nine 1/2 Weeks, has, according to his website, “starred in over 1,700 films, directed 250 and become porn’s biggest ambassador to the mainstream over the last 20 years.”

It is estimated that the performer has had over 4,000 professional partners. In a 2007 book review of a Ron Jeremy biography, the New York Times wrote: “For its size and his endurance and control of it, Ron Jeremy’s phallus has made him what one trade magazine called the “top porn star of all time.”
