Porn legend Ron Jeremy is in critical condition due to an aneurysm near his heart.

The 59-year-old adult film star began experiencing severe chest pains Tuesday afternoon and drove himself to Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, his manager Mike Esterman confirmed to TMZ.

Jeremy is in the Intensive Care Unit, the gossip site reports, and is currently being prepped for surgery.

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.”
