Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock who was best known for his documentary Super Size Me for which he consumed only McDonald’s fast food for a month has died.

The film was a massive success and would earn more than $20 million in the global box office. 

Spurlock died Thursday, May 23, in New York of complications from cancer, according to a statement sent by David Magdael, a publicist. He was 53 years old. 

In a statement, Spurlock’s brother talked about him.

“It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan,” he said. “Morgan gave so much through his art, ideas, and generosity. The world has lost a true creative genius and a special man. I am so proud to have worked together with him.

Spurlock produced and directed nearly 70 film and TV shows. They included Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?, about the U.S. war in Afghanistan and The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, a meta-movie about marketing a movie.

Back in 2017, Spurlock wanted to release another super-size documentary, but he decided against it when he called himself part of the problem during the #metoo movement.

He talked about a sexual episode in college that his female partner had experienced as nonconsensual, which Spurlock said he found confusing. 

“Then there was the time I settled a sexual harassment allegation at my office,” he wrote about the incident, which he said occurred around 2011. 

“And it wasn’t a gropy feely harassment. It was verbal, and it was just as bad. I would call my female assistant “hot pants” or “sex pants” when I was yelling to her from the other side of the office. Something I thought was funny at the time, but then realized I had completely demeaned and belittled her to a place of non-existence.”

The movie was eventually released, and Spurlock talked about a comeback to Business Insider in 2019, but his IMDB page does not show any projects he produced after 2017.
