Ron Jeremy ‘doing very well’ following heart aneurysm

Porn legend Ron Jeremy is recovering after he suffered an aneurysm near his heart late last month.

The 59-year-old adult film star had to undergo two emergency surgeries and was in critical condition, but he is now “doing very well.”

“Thank you ALL for the concern & well wishes, I’m doing very well thanks to modern technology!” he said in a statement.

He was even feeling well enough to take a picture where he’s smiling and giving a thumbs up with his nurse.

According to his rep, Mike Esterman, Jeremy is “doing quite well and cracking jokes.” Esterman added the actor wanted everyone to know his heath is improving.

“He’s touched and delighted by the outpouring of support from fans and media alike,” Esterman stated.

On Tuesday, Jeremy’s management tweeted from his verified account to update fans.

“Ron remains in intensive care at LA Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, but is awake and on the road to recovery, in spite of this ordeal.”

In addition to his illustrious adult film career, Jeremy’s recognizable appearance has made him somewhat of a crossover pop culture icon. He has appeared on “The Surreal Life,” “Tosh.O” and “Chappelle’s Show.”
