> [@phungi](#): > > Amen to that! All the activity up to this point has been a bunch of “fluff”… However, I think this story is building to a dramatic climax. In fact, should Jeremy hold out, the person who captures his image just might have a “money shot.” I hope he can push through this. I just know there are people waiting with more jokes if he ends up going in and out of the hospital, with his recovery/rehab time getting longer and harder. He doesn’t need that. ---

I hear you… people are quick to call him a stiff. Don’t they realize so many nurses have put in a lot of work just to get him up? ---

> [@gaffa](#): > > I’ve met him a few times, and he’s pretty much a typical actor - emotionally needy and self-obsessed, but a nice enough guy. His persona is that of a Catskills _[tummler](http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tummler)_, constantly “on”. Did I want to know that a prominent porn star is always “on”? :eek: Punning aside, I do hope he pulls out of his sticky situ – ah, c’mon, it’s unavoidable isn’t it? Good luck, Mr. Hyatt. ---

Good to hear that he’s back, hard at work. From the article: > [@](#): > > “I was nervous,” he says. “Blood pressure medicine can affect the penis. I’m taking blood pressure medicine now and I was able to do it, but my scenes aren’t as good as they used to be. I don’t get the full massive. If I could be so specific, CNN, it bends a little. But it felt good being back in the saddle.” Actually, that’s always been true. In the documentary, one woman who has worked with him quite a few times described his penis as “kind of spongy”. And… > [@](#): > > Whether it’s the result of a brush with mortality or simply wanting credit where it’s due, the entertainment industry veteran and guest star in many mainstream movies, TV shows and music videos, is keenly aware of his fame. He rattles off his name-check by Seth MacFarlane at the Academy Awards, Grammy parties he was scheduled to attend, press mentions from TMZ and Jay Leno and celebrity well-wishers like Gene Simmons and Macy Gray. Yep, same old Ron. The worst thing about [the mediocre Batman porn parody](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1653823/reference) was that Ron Jeremy was in it, but as _Ron Jeremy_! Which was stupid…he is a much better actor than anyone else in that film, and he would have been perfect as either The Penguin or King Tut. ---

I always thought he was a cool icon kind of guy, and then I watched his interview on the _Orgazmo_ DVD extras and that was when I knew he wasn’t just an icon, he is in fact a really cool guy. ---

I liked him in [One Eyed Monster](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-Eyed_Monster), a parody of a porn shoot monster film. It was on cable last year a number of times at like 2 in the morning 😛 ---

He had a recent cameo appearance on _Hoarding: Buried Alive_, of all places. It was presumably filmed before his illness, and the appearance was not sex-related. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ron-jeremys-apparently-in-critical-condition/648834.md?page=2)
