Henry Winkler Diving deep into the dangerous and often unreasonable moments of American history in his new History Channel series “Dangerous History with Henry Winkler”.
But as a beloved actress recently admitted, she has had her own dangerous experiences, especially when she described her iconic role Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli “Happy Days”.
In fact, Henry Winkler revealed that one of the most dangerous things he has ever done to the role was a motorcycle, which is a regular part of Fonz’s cool personality.

“I’m so dyslexic. I couldn’t figure out what the gas was, what was the gear, what was the brake,” Winkler admitted People magazine. “And I almost killed the movie’s head” happy days “.”
It wasn’t his only fear. In the 1977 movie “Heroes” movie with Sally Field and Harrison Ford, Winkler had a close call behind the bike during the racetrack.
“I competed around the car around the track. I was surrounded by these gorgeous tricks. I stepped on the brake too hard and spun, and they all had to miss me,” he said. “It wasn’t in the script. I did it by accident and they all stopped to stop and ran over and said,” Do you understand that you could just kill? “

The experience left the entry. “It was so scary,” he remembered, “because I didn’t realize what its spin-out songs could have been.”

Despite the anger, Winkler says he is not an exciting seeker.
“I’m not an exciting seeker,” he admitted, even though he has a deep appreciation of risky and adventurous moments, both in his career and in his history. This appreciation inspires him to host a “dangerous history”, which explores forgotten and often dangerous practices from American past, from wild hobbies to strange products that are once considered normal.
Each episode of the 60 -minute series unravels outrageous stories about how the Americans lived, worked and played, often with little control and much risk. Winkler brings a personal and humorous perspective to the series to reflect on how far we have come and the wild ways people were once fun.

Outside his new exhibition, Winkler recently merged with “Happy Days” star Ron Howard in Sydney, Australia.
In 2024, two long -time friends shared a heartfelt moment during the Winkler event, his best -selling memoir “Being Henry: Fonz … and outside”.
“Life! When the world turns @rearronhoward, came to a book event in Sydney, Australia. So exciting for everyone !!!!” Winkler shared X.
Howard also published the merger: “We combined in the background and looked at him that he had a great speech to a huge crowd. What an explosion!”

“Happy Days”, which spread on ABC from 1974 to 1984, ran 11 seasons and became a cultural phenomenon. The program followed the life of the Cunningham family and their unforgettable circle of friends, including Winkler’s leather upholstery, motorcyclist.
“I was so happy to be in this exhibition that published such good feelings for the world,” Winkler told about his time at Sitcomm. “I have to be with them, each of these guys every day, five days a week, 10 and a half years. I don’t have a favorite [episode]. Not really. I loved all of them. “
When it was time to say goodbye to “happy days”, Henry Winkler did not go away with Fonzie’s iconic leather jacket or motorcycle, even though he was auctioning the famous jacket in 2021.
Let’s talk about his daughter Zoe Winkler’s podcast “What in Winkler?!” Alongside a long -time friend and co -star Ron Howard, Winkler revealed, “When Ron and I made” happy days “, there was a shelf outside Arnold.” He explained a modest propeller where the cast randomly placed coffee cups and water bottles before the doors that were waving his entrance.

“” Happy Days “at the end I took the shelf,” Winkler shared. Howard immediately recognized the reference, calling the change “so smart”.
Decades later, Winkler is still circulating engines, but this time it is stories about history, humor and a few close calls along the way. “Dangerous History with Henry Winkler” premiere on Sunday, June 15, on a history channel.
