Early life

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.^[3]

McGhehey appeared in all three seasons of the Jackass television series and four Jackass films, often going by the nickname "Danger Ehren."^[4] He has been the butt of many jokes by the Jackass crew, most notably in the infamous "Terror Taxi" skit from Jackass Number Two, 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 a fractured skull ("I broke my face") when his healthy tooth was pulled out by a string tied to Bam Margera's Lamborghini,^[8] and rupturing a testicle after Dave England jumped on his scrotum with a pogo stick.^[4] Between his snowboarding and Jackass careers, McGhehey said he had undergone 16 surgeries by the age of 33.^[8]
