Jackass 4 Star Proved Doctors Wrong By Having A Child After Wild Stunt

Famed stuntman and star of the Jackass franchise Ehren McGhehey (otherwise known as Danger Ehren) has claimed that, despite the warnings of his doctor, he was able to have a child whilst filming Jackass Forever. The latest movie entry in the stunt-reality-slapstick franchise once again showcases the hilariously dangerous and adamantly do-not-try-this-at-home antics of many of the original cast, as well as a collection of new faces and cameos alongside them. Despite its various delays due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Jackass Forever received a barrage of positive reviews ahead of its debut in theaters.

Originally created as a television show for MTV by Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze, and Johnny Knoxville, Jackass first took to the big screen in 2002 for what was intended to be the swan-song of the series. However, the enthusiasm of the cast and their enjoyment in undertaking their renowned stunts and pranks meant that a number of sequels soon followed, with Jackass Forever coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the team’s first cinematic outing. As is always invariably the case with Jackass, shooting on the newest film has led to injuries and damages galore among the cast and crew, with Knoxville even being left with brain damage after an incident with a bull.

It would appear, though, that recurring cast member Danger Ehren seems to possess the ability to not only undergo any number of toe-curling pranks, but also to defy the laws of medical science. In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, the star provides some eye-watering details about the various injuries he’s picked up over filming. After elaborating on how he “broke his face” whilst getting a tooth-pulled by Bam Margera’s Lamborghini, the actor goes on to explain how he still managed to have a child despite suffering an injury that led his doctor to diagnose that it would be virtually impossible for him to have children:

In Jackass Forever, the doctor said I probably won’t be able to have children because I exploded my testicle, and then the blood was going into where the semen is. And once that happens, it kills the semen forever and you’ll never have a child. But I proved him wrong because I had a child while filming Jackass Forever.

The incident took place during a recreation of the “cup test” from the first Jackass. The original stunt saw Knoxville taking quite the pounding to his testicles, but this time it was McGhehey who assumed the painful duties, resulting in yet another trip to the hospital for the performer. However, McGhehey doesn’t seem to have a ready explanation for how he was still able to foster a child in the wake of this distressing wound, and many will agree with his doctor that by all accounts this should have closed the book on his future as a parent for good.

For many devotees of the stunt franchise, the actual injury in question here may appear mild in comparison to others, especially given the extensive and often disgusting list of damages sustained by the Jackass cast over the years. Although it undoubtedly stands out as one of the more miraculous stunts from the series since McGhehey has gone on to achieve the seemingly impossible. But whether it’s astronomical luck or fate favoring the stunt star, Danger Ehren seems to have come out of Jackass Forever if not unharmed, then certainly still in enough of a position to appear in any further installments should the team decide to do more.
