The porn pioneer Ron Jeremy remains unconscious after undergoing two lifesaving surgeries to treat an aneurysm near his heart, his manager Mike Esterman told the New York Daily News. Jeremy, 59, had driven himself to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center near Beverly Hills around 2.30am on Wednesday after experiencing chest pains.

Though Jeremy is said to be "resting with complete privacy and no visitors," he was still unconscious last night. "His instincts were correct to seek help at that moment," Esterman said. "He is in the ICU and has not been conscious since surgery." The Queens-born porn star - known for his prolific penis - has starred in over 1,700 porn flicks over the years, including Alien Babes In Heat, Humpkin Pie and Generally Horny Hospital. Nicknamed The Hedgehog, Jeremy also directed 250 adults films and appeared in 60 mainstream films. One fan took to Twitter on Wednesday to tell followers, "Please #PrayForRon as he goes into surgery. He has given hope to ugly fat guys around the world that we too can get laid." His memoir, "The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz," was published in 2007.

The 59-year-old is in the process of shooting the forthcoming comedy-horror Werewolves in Heat, with Julianne Tura and Chris Staviski.
