Tom Green, the famous comedian and actor from Canada, is well-known for his MTV show, The Tom Green Show, which aired in the 1990s.
His unique brand of shock comedy and pranks gained him a loyal following and even inspired other popular shows like Jackass.
Despite the success of his show, Green is perhaps most famously known for his brief marriage to actress Drew Barrymore from 2001 to 2002.
The two met while Barrymore was trying to get Green to film Charlie’s Angels, a movie she starred in alongside Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz.
Green initially passed on the opportunity but eventually agreed and the two hit it off. Although their marriage was short-lived, they spoke highly of each other even after they separated.
Originally from Pembroke, Ontario, Tom Green became an American citizen in February 2019 and now holds dual citizenship with Canada. His decision to become a citizen was driven by his desire to vote in elections and engage in the democratic process.
In recent years, Green suffered a severe injury to his feet in a campfire accident, leaving him unable to stand.
He moved from Hollywood to a cabin in rural Canada for a more relaxed lifestyle and continued his work through hosting a podcast from a van as he traveled across the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Green is also a testicular cancer survivor and shared that he hosted the podcast while on the road to avoid getting sick from the coronavirus.
In September 2020, he made a guest appearance on his ex-wife Drew Barrymore’s talk show, marking the first time they had seen each other in over 15 years. The pair expressed their love and admiration for one another, with Barrymore stating that she thinks “the world” of Green.
Despite the ups and downs in his personal life, Tom Green has managed to maintain a successful career in comedy, acting, rapping, and hosting.
His estimated net worth stands at $5 million, a testament to his enduring popularity and talent in the entertainment industry.
