Eddie Griffin Real Life Action

Eddie Griffin

Griffin crashed a $1.5 million worth Ferrari Enzo while he was practicing on the racetrack last Monday. The 2002 Undercover Brother actor was never harmed according to the reports. Real time action, huh? Maybe he just misses those times when he would be behind the car and soaring through the roads while chasing after bad guys (or being chased by some goons).

There are only 400 Ferrari Enzo models made between 2002 and 2004. One among these rare car models was totally destroyed by the comedy actor. All the Ferrari car parts including the exterior body parts were all destroyed in the crash.

The actor was on a practice driving in connection with its upcoming movie “Redline”. The Associated Press reported that the actor was driving too fast that he was not able to control the speed of the limited edition car and so what happens is that Griffin sends the limited ed vehicle crashing down at the curve of the Irwindale Speedway.

Daniel Sadek, the executive producer of the film, is the owner of the red Ferrari Enzo as the film will features Sadek’s exotic car collection. The actor was the No. 62 among the list of the 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of all time of the Grand Central. He is one of the actors in the Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo in 1999 and the sequels that follows.

It’s good to know that the actor was not injured. So he will continue to bring humorous and amusing films. And limited edition as the vehicle may be, there sure will be other limited edition ones. What’s important here is the safety of the driver. And with that, good luck Griffin. May you not further damage any limited edition ones.
