Kenneth Ehren McGhehey [2] (born November 29, 1976), [3] [4] also known as Danger Ehren, is an American stunt performer, actor, and former professional snowboarder. He is best known as one of the cast members of the reality stunt franchise Jackass .
McGhehey was born in McMinnville, Oregon, and grew up living over a mortuary. By the age of 12, he was an accomplished skateboarder, and later became a professional snowboarder, breaking his neck, shoulder, and knees in the process. While working at a skate shop in Portland, Oregon, McGhehey began filming stunts, leading to his involvement with Jackass. [4]
McGhehey appeared in all three seasons of the Jackass television series and four Jackass films, often going by the nickname "Danger Ehren." [1] He has been the butt of many jokes by the Jackass crew, most notably in the infamous "Terror Taxi" skit from Jackass Number Two (2006), one of Johnny Knoxville's favorites. [5] In the stunt, McGhehey was dressed as a stereotypical Muslim terrorist with the idea being to scare a taxi driver; part of his costume involved him having a beard glued to his face that was made out of shaved pubic hair contributed by the entire crew. [5] In a podcast with Steve-O, McGhehey suggested some of those jokes amounted to bullying, and that some of it happened off-camera. [6]
McGhehey has been the recipient of some of the worst injuries in the Jackass franchise, [7] including breaking his neck twice during the filming of Jackass 3D (2010), [8] a broken orbital bone when his healthy tooth was pulled out by a string tied to Bam Margera's Lamborghini Murciélago in Jackass 3D, [9] and rupturing his right testicle after Dave England jumped on his scrotum with a pogo stick in Jackass Forever (2022). [1] Between his snowboarding and Jackass careers, McGhehey said he had undergone 16 surgeries by the age of 33. [9]
