Early life

McGhehey was born and raised in McMinnville, Oregon to father Kenneth and mother Linda. He grew up in a mortuary as both his parents were morticians.[1] He is the youngest of three children (in birth order: Lesley, Stacey, and Ehren). He started skateboarding at the age of 12.[1] 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
Main article: Jackass (TV series)

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]
