‘Bob’s Burgers’ Eugene Mirman
Refuses to Look at Pics of Fiery Car Crash
Published
Eugene Mirman is avoiding one thing after his terrifying car crash … the photos.
The “Bob’s Burgers” star says he still hasn’t looked at images from his March 31 wreck, despite them spreading online after his car burst into flames at a New Hampshire toll plaza.
“I’m not interested yet,” Mirman told Variety. “I don’t know if there’ll be a time when I’m 78 and like, ‘Oh, you know what? I should really look up all those videos to see how truly traumatized I should be!'”
He knows how intense they likely are, adding … “I’m sure they were terrifying,” and saying he feels bad people were so worried but he’s “incredibly thankful” to be okay.
TMZ broke the story … Mirman was pulled from his burning car after crashing into the Bedford Toll Plaza, with a state trooper, New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte and others helping pull him to safety.
He doesn’t remember the crash itself … only moments after, like being in the ambulance and seeing some fire.
Despite the dramatic scene, Mirman somehow escaped without burns, though he suffered a concussion, broken ribs and a broken wrist. “I obviously went through an insane accident,” he said but he’s already getting back to normal life, even hitting a Lego store with his son for “May the Fourth.”
Mirman calls it his “only near-death experience” and says he’ll probably turn it into stand-up material.
For now, he’s focused on recovering … and keeping those crash photos out of sight.
