Ron Jeremy Hospitalized For Aneurysm Near His Heart

Legendary porn star Ron Jeremy is currently in Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai hospital battling for his life. The fifty-nine-year-old reportedly checked himself in on Tuesday after experiencing chest pains, and during the subsequent examination, doctors discovered an aneurysm near his heart.

According to TMZ, Jeremy’s condition has declined over the last twenty-four hours. Recently, he was transferred to the intensive care unit, and he’s scheduled to undergo surgery later this afternoon.

All of the above details were offered up by Jeremy’s manager Mike Esterman, but beyond what’s here, nothing else about his condition is widely known. At this point, it’s really more of a waiting game to see how his body responds to the surgery.

A high percentage of people might not be able to list a large number of porn stars, but if they can list any, Jeremy is likely at the top of the list. Over the past few decades, he’s appeared in thousands of X-rated movies and branched out to make appearances in more commercial movies and television shows, always with a big smile on his face and a sexually adventurous look in his eyes.

Pop Blend’s sincerest thoughts go out to the Hedgehog in this time of need. It’s going to take a lot of strength and maybe even a bit of luck to recover, but at this point, there’s no reason not to be optimistic.
