Ehren Kenneth "Danger Ehren" McGhehey (/ˈɛərən məˈɡiːhi/ AIR-ən mə-GHEE-hee; born November 29, 1976) is an American stunt performer and actor. He is best known as one of the crew members of the reality stunt show Jackass.

Early life[]

McGhehey was born and raised in McMinnville, Oregon to father Kenneth and mother Linda. He is the youngest of three children (in birth order: Lesley, Stacey, and Ehren). After graduating from McMinnville High School in 1995, he became a professional snowboarder. He later retired from snowboarding due to breaking his neck and got a job at a skate shop in Portland, Oregon. There, he filmed some of his ideas and stunts on a small scale.

Jackass[]

McGhehey was soon spotted by Jackass director Jeff Tremaine who put him on the Jackass team.^[2] He later appeared in all five Jackass films. His motto when performing stunts on the show was "Safety First". McGhehey is often referred to by his nickname "Danger Ehren" by fellow Jackass cast and crew, not least due to his tendency to injure himself and lose teeth in the pursuit of stunts.

He's 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.^[3] In a stunt where McGhehey played a terrorist passenger in a taxicab, he unknowingly wore a "pube beard" made up from the shaved pubic hair of his co-stars.^[3] In a podcast with Steve-O, McGhehey suggested some of those jokes amounted to bullying, and that some of it happened off-camera.^[4]
