It’s just been announced that Jackass star Ryan Dunn has sadly passed away in a car accident.
Best known for his high-wire pranks and stunts in the hit series Jackass, actor, writer and performer Ryan Dunn has passed away, we’re sad to announce. Dunn died just nine days after his 34th birthday, and just one week after the UK DVD release of his latest feature, Jackass 3.5.
Dunn was reportedly killed when a car he was travelling in crashed in the West Goshen Township area of Pennsylvania. A passenger in the car was also killed. It hasn’t yet been confirmed who was driving at the time of the accident.
While Dunn had previously appeared in the low budget 1997 film Invader, it was the MTV series Jackass that propelled him and his co-stars to worldwide fame, and its mixture of dangerous practical jokes and stunts inspired a number of copycat TV shows.
