News about Morgan Spurlock

Liam Payne's final Instagram post before his shock death featured a snap with his One Direction bandmates. The singer, 31, died on Wednesday after falling from his room at the Casa Sur Palmero Hotel in Buenos Aires, sparking a sea of tributes from around the world. In what became his last Instagram post, on May 29, Liam had shared a 2013 snap with his bandmates while paying tribute to American documentary filmmaker and producer Morgan Spurlock.

Super Size Me filmmaker Morgan Spurlock's ex-wives - Sara Bernstein and Alex Jamieson - have paid tribute to him following his shock death at age 53. Spurlock died last Thursday, as confirmed by his family, from complications from cancer, which he'd been battling privately.  He had finalized his divorce from Bernstein shortly before his death and three years after their March 2021 filing. The former couple wed in 2016 and share eight-year-old son Kallen.

It was an experiment that many documentary makers would rather have passed up but one which a self-confessed attention-seeker like Morgan Spurlock was happy to take on. 'What would happen if I eat nothing but McDonalds for 30 days straight,' he asked on camera. 'Would I suddenly be on the fast track to becoming an obese American? Would it be unreasonably dangerous? Let's find out - I'm ready.' What did happen was 'Super Size Me', an Oscar-nominated 2004 documentary smash-hit that sparked an international debate about the malign effects of fast-food fixation. Spurlock ate at McDonald's restaurants three times a day, consuming every item on the chain's menu at least once, and not eating or drinking anything else that wasn't for sale - or so he claimed.

Morgan Spurlock, the documentarian behind the infamous film 'Super Size Me,' was the reason McDonald's removed the 'supersize' option on their menu. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker, who recently died at age 53, produced the 2004 documentary to shame McDonald's, which at the time was offering to 'super-size' all meals for a discount. His 30-day experiment saw him gorge on burgers, chicken nuggets and fries - and suffer a litany of health problems as a result.

Documentarian Morgan Spurlock [shown], behind the film Super Size Me, passed away of cancer at age 53, but his experiment that involved eating only McDonald's for a month took a toll on his body years ago. Just one day after starting the experiment, he vomited profusely. Soon after, he noticed weird pulsations in his stomach. Finally, a visit to the doctor returned troubling news, telling him that his liver is 'turning to pâté' it was so soft and diseased.

Mountains of research in recent decades have shown that eating lots of processed foods is linked to at least 34 different types of cancers - even in people who are not obese. There is no indication Spurlock's condition was linked to the 2004 movie, which saw him consume nothing but McDonald's meals for a month as a health experiment - even though he suffered a number of health issues in the immediate aftermath.

When Morgan released his groundbreaking documentary Super Size Me in 2004, it sent shockwaves around the globe and had immense impacts on the fast food industry. The film, which followed him as he ate only McDonald's for all three of his meals for 30 days straight, Morgan into a massive star practically overnight. But almost as quick as his rise to the top came his harrowing fall from grace in 2017 - after he made a slew of shocking confessions that cast serious doubt on the claims made throughout the documentary. He also revealed that he had a history of sexual misconduct, and his murky past quickly overshadowed his movie career. He ultimately stopped working and stepped out of the spotlight, and for years, little was known about what the disgraced star was up to. But now, his family has confirmed that he has passed away at age 53 after a battle with cancer. Amid the shocking news, FEMAIL recapped his journey from start to finish - from how he became a top movie director thanks to Super Size Me to the many controversies he faced that lead to him leaving the public eye and his sad final years.

Spurlock's family announced his death on Friday in a statement. They did not specify what type of cancer he was battling, or when he was diagnosed. Spurlock won an Oscar nomination for his groundbreaking 2004 documentary. He ate McDonald's for 30 days to test what the effects on his body would be.
