Gary Busey | Motorcycle Accident
You probably thought it was a raging coke habit that makes Gary Busey act like a madman! Well, you’re only half right. In 1988, the then 44-year-old, Oscar-nominated actor was doing 40 miles per hour on his bike when the 625-pound Harley skidded out of control. Busey was thrown from the hog and slammed into a curb … head first. He wasn’t wearing a helmet, and the impact left hole the size of a half-dollar in his skull. After two hours of neurosurgery and a month-long coma, he regained consciousness. But Busey wasn’t the same; the wreck had left him with brain damage that caused him to speak and act impulsively.
