Dunn appeared in all of the Jackass movies, but his first appearance was particularly memorable. Jackass: The Movie featured a skit in which Dunn placed a toy car up his rectum. He then visited a doctor and complained of pain, only for the doctor to take x-rays and discover that a small car was lodged inside his body.
Authorities revealed Monday that Dunn was the driver of the car, a Porsche 911 GT3, involved in the deadly smash, which was “fully engulfed in flames” when authorities arrived at the crash scene.
Dunn appeared in all of the Jackass movies.
