Ron Jeremy at this point is less of a porn star and more of a pop culture icon, providing inspiration to millions of chubby hairy guys around the world and bringing them hope that one day they, too can bang incredibly hot girls on camera for money. Okay, very unlikely, but Jeremy is something special, beloved and recognized more than almost any other porn star male or female. So when he landed in hospital earlier this year, it was big news. In late January 2013 Jeremy suffered an aneurysm near his heart that almost killed him, and kept him hospitalized for weeks. It was national - actually international - news, and fans worldwide kept Jeremy in their thoughts (and for once, that had nothing to do with something, or someone, he'd done on-screen). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xljA6zJn4I Luckily, the hedgehog made it through the woods and came out okay - by late February that year the 59 year old star had been cleared to return to uh, work. You can see him spoofing Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball above, if you dare (safe for work, possibly not safe for your eyes).
