[eShirl]

LOS ANGELES -- Veteran pornography actor Ron Jeremy, one of the industry's biggest stars, was in intensive care and undergoing surgery for an aneurysm near his heart in Los Angeles, his manager said on Wednesday.

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.

1. Met the guy once.

Really a nice man.
Funny too.

And, of course, a legend.

Get well Ron!

[CBGLuthier]

2. In his case, the heart is the second largest "muscle" in his body

Hope he pulls through.

[eShirl]

11. Hey, we here at DU were practically raised on Mr. Jeremy's work.

[Tom Ripley]

14. I respect porn performers far more than many other celebrities.

They, for the most part, have no delusions about who they are, and what they do.

[Bake]

22. Acc. to the article, his memoir is entitled ............

The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz! Over 2,000 films? Match THAT, Nick Cage!!



Bake

[WinkyDink]

25. As the joke goes, I think we're now just haggling over the price.

[Systematic Chaos]

30. Somehow, I imagine that the vast majority of posts in a gravely ill Kardashian thread...

...would be far more civil than those concerning their everyday marriage bullshit or what have you.

Do you agree?

[HappyMe]

9. I hope he recovers.

[FSogol]

10. Ron Jeremy is "being worked on"? I think I saw that movie.

[kimbutgar]

28. There was a tv show he was on with Tammy Faye Baker

I always thought he was scum until I saw this show and he is a pretty good guy, just does scummy porn if that's your thing I got no problem. Also I liked Tammy and saw she was a good person with a good heart. It was not acting on either one of them they're people with humanity. Rip Tammy.
