A motorcycle enthusiast, Busey was famous for not wearing a helmet. That would all change on December 4, 1988, when he got into a motorcycle accident and seriously damaged his skull in the process. Busey spent several months in physical therapy regaining control of his entire body, and he suffered brain damage that "weakened his mental filters." The extent of the damage wasn't fully realized until two decades later, and the general view of him now is that he's absolutely ''crazy.'' It's a fair assessment; interviews with him and anecdotes from people who have met him paint the picture of an erratic and, at times, unsettling personality. Thankfully, he's taken this in stride and even [[AdamWesting embraced the image somewhat.]]
