Morgan Spurlock, the acclaimed director of Super Size Me, has tragically passed away at the age of 53.
The filmmaker shot to fame with his 2004 documentary, where he exclusively ate McDonald's meals for a month.
The film, which was nominated for an Oscar, highlighted the damaging impact of fast food on health. Spurlock sadly died on Thursday (May 23) in New York due to complications from cancer. His brother Craig Spurlock confirmed the news to the New York Post, saying: "It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan.
Morgan gave so much through his art, ideas and generosity.
Today the world has lost a true creative genius and a special man. I am so proud to have worked together with him." The experiment conducted by Spurlock exposed the alarming decline in physical and mental health that can result from consuming junk food. During the month-long experiment, he also reduced his exercise to mirror the average American's activity level.
By the end of the 30 days, Spurlock had gained 25 pounds and his body fat had increased by 13%. He reported experiencing depression, liver problems, mood swings and sexual dysfunction. In 2017, a sequel to the popular documentary - Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken! - was released, marking his last documentary before his death.
In this film, Spurlock scrutinises the fast food industry's claims of being healthier now and the difficulties faced by fast food restaurants in sourcing farm-raised chickens. Other documentaries that Spurlock was a part of include Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008); Freakonomics (2010); and One Direction: This Is Us (2013). He also had a CNN series titled Morgan Spurlock: Inside Man from 2013 to 2016 and FX's 30 Days from 2005 to 2008.
