Morgan Spurlock, the Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker renowned for his 2004 groundbreaking film Super Size Me, has died at 53 due to cancer complications, confirmed by his family through a publicist.
Spurlock gained fame by eating only McDonald’s food for 30 days to highlight the health risks associated with fast food consumption, which not only changed his health drastically but also ignited a global conversation about diet and nutrition. His work extended beyond Super Size Me directing over 20 films, including “Where in the World is Osama bin Laden” and the One Direction tour movie This Is Us.
Spurlock’s career was also marked by his daring approach to social and political issues, which often prompted public and corporate responses, including from McDonald’s, which defended its menu while subtly removing its Super Size options.
His career faced challenges when he admitted to past misconduct during the rise of the #MeToo movement, including accusations of sexual harassment, leading him to step back from his production company.
