The 2019 film Ford v. Ferrari w as filled with drama, suspense, and extreme risk-taking, and it was based on the 1966 race between the two car manufacturers over who could make the better vehicle.
British driver Ken Miles was played by Christian Bale in the film, and he was enlisted to drive the Ford GT40 Mk1 by his best friend, automotive designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon).
Throughout the film, Ken and Carroll push the limits on the vehicle, leading Ken to have a few serious accidents.
In reality, the infamous driver died shortly after the race featured in the film. How did Ken Miles die in real life? Keep reading to find out how Ken's death was portrayed in the movie, and to learn where his son, Peter Miles, is today.
After successfully racing the Ford GT40 Mk1 in 1966, Ken's next task was to test out the Ford J-car. Testing for the vehicle was put on hold when fellow driver Walt Hangsen died while driving one.
In August of 1966, Carroll decided to work on the J-car again, and Ken became the primary testing driver. While driving it at 200 miles per hour the Riverside International Raceway in California, Ken flipped the car over. It caught on fire, and Ken was immediately ejected and killed.
His death took place just two months after the race that served as the subject of the Ford v. Ferrari film. Ken was just 46 years old at the time of his passing, and he is buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
The World War II veteran's fatal accident is shown at the end of Ford v. Ferrari, in a brief scene. Few details about Ken's death are given in the film, though brake failure is shown to be the source of the accident. In reality, the exact cause of Ken's crash is still the subject of some debate.
The rear portion of the J-car was updated after Ken's accident so it wouldn't easily lift at high speeds. There's still some ambiguity over whether the brakes had something to do with the collision, or if something else led to the accident.
In addition to having a successful racing career, Ken was married to Mollie Miles, and the two shared a son named Peter together. Peter was 14 years old when his father died, and he was actually at the Riverside Raceway with his mom when the fatal crash occurred.
He stayed in the family business, and he worked at the Troutman and Barnes car shop for 14 years before taking a job at Precision Performance in 1986.
Peter has also worked as a fabricator, and he has led racing crews. He now lives in California, and he manages the car collection of billionaire Chip Connor. Peter is married to Patricia Montgomery Miles, and the two have a daughter named Jamie together. Through Jamie, Peter is a grandfather of two.
When Ford v. Ferrari premiered, Peter spoke with Le Mans about assisting the cast with insight into his father.
"I gave Christian Bale some information on my father, they could come from press clippings, articles in magazines, I also showed personal photographs or shared audio recordings," Peter told the outlet. "Mr. Bale wanted to try to be as faithful as possible to my father's portrait. I also met Caitriona Balfe [who played Mollie Miles], gave her pictures of my mother, described her to her as I remembered."
You can watch Ford v. Ferrari on HBO, or you can stream it on HBO Max.

Ken Jeong was born in Detroit, Michigan, on July 13, 1969, to South Korean immigrants. After completing undergraduate work at Duke and getting a medical degree at the University of North Carolina, he pursued his interest in comedy while completing his residency in internal medicine in New Orleans. He scored his breakout film role in the 2009 smash The Hangover , and became a regular on the NBC hit Community before landing his own show, Dr. Ken .
Ken Jeong was born Kendrick Kang-Joh Jeong in Detroit, Michigan, on July 13, 1969. Jeong grew up in Greensboro, North Carolina, where his father, D.K. Jeong, was a professor at North Carolina A&T State University. Jeong later told USA Today that he inherited his sense of humor from his father.
Jeong was involved in student council and played in the orchestra at Walter Hines Page High School, graduating from the school at age 16. He grew up loving comedy, especially comedians Bill Cosby and Jim Carrey , but at his parents’ urging, he pursued the stable career of medicine. He completed his pre-med studies at Duke University in 1990 and obtained his medical degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1995.
While training for his residency in internal medicine at Oshsner Medical Center in New Orleans, Jeong moonlighted, pursuing his love of theater and comedy. In New Orleans, he won the "Big Easy Laff-Off," judged by late NBC president Brandon Tartikoff and Improv comedy club founder Budd Friedman, both of whom encouraged Jeong to move to Los Angeles to pursue his entertainment dreams.
While working as a practicing physician, seeing patients for seven years at Kaiser Permanente, Jeong performed at Los Angeles' famed Improv and Laugh Factory comedy clubs. His side gigs gave him the experience he needed to secure higher-profile entertainment jobs, and he soon appeared on ABC’s The View and earned the title "The Funniest Doctor in America."
Jeong shared with LA Weekly what his medical school counselor told him prior to moving to L.A.: "You will be a great doctor because you are a great comedian, and you will be a great comedian because you are a great doctor."
Several television appearances followed, including on Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000), HBO’s Entourage (2004), NBC’s The Office (2005) and ABC’s Boston Legal . Jeong’s feature film debut, as a wisecracking doctor in Judd Apatow’s 2007 hit Knocked Up , opened more doors for the rising star.
He went on to land roles in films like Role Models , Step Brothers and Pineapple Express —all released in 2008—and 2009's All About Steve .
Also in 2009, the actor-comedian was cast in his breakthrough role, as Asian mobster Mr. Chow in the sleeper-hit comedy film The Hangover , starring opposite Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis. The film became one of the highest-grossing R-rated comedies of all time and lifted the Chow character into the comic canon. He returned for the sequels, The Hangover Part II (2011) and The Hangover Part III (2013).
After The Hangover 's release, Jeong became a regular on the hit NBC show Community , which aired from 2009 to 2015. He then created, wrote and co-executive produced the sitcom Dr. Ken , which ran on ABC from 2015 to 2017. The show was based on Jeong's life as a doctor prior to becoming an actor.
Along with his featured roles on television, Jeong made appearances on shows like Hot in Cleveland and Fresh Off the Boat and contributed his voice to animated fare like BoJack Horseman . On the big screen, he landed roles in Ride Along 2 (2016) and the hit rom-com Crazy Rich Asians (2018).
Jeong also hosted the 2011 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas and appeared in television specials like 2017's A Christmas Story Live! He opened 2019 with a judging gig on The Masked Singer , an adaptation of a popular Korean singing competition series, and returned to stand-up that year with the release of a Netflix special.
Jeong has also served as a widely recognized face of advertising campaigns, including for Pepto-Bismol, Coke Zero and the American Heart Association.
Jeong’s Vietnamese-American wife, Tran Ho, also a doctor, practices family medicine. The couple has twin daughters, Alexa and Zooey. Because Tran Ho was struggling with a rare form of breast cancer when her husband was offered his role in The Hangover , Jeong almost turned down the part.

A man known as “Human Ken Doll,” who has spent nearly $750,000 on surgery over the years to transform into a real-life Barbie, says his nose is “sinking” after almost a dozen nose jobs that led to life-threatening infections.
Rodrigo Alves says he is “scared” his shnoz will permanently collapse, so he’s planning to go under the knife yet again against doctors’ warnings, reports The Daily Mail .
Despite having spent close to $775,000 on 72 operations, including a rib removal for a slimmer waist , the 36-year-old says he’s terrified to undergo the risky surgery.
“I am scared, to be honest,” he says. “Each time is riskier than the last and I’m worried that doctors aren’t going to be able to fix my nose permanently.”
Alves says he had his 11th rhinoplasty in January to fix previous botched jobs and to resolve breathing issues. Now, his nose is collapsing again and doctors have warned the Brazil native that he “could be left with a hole in his face” if he has any more cosmetic surgery on his nose.
In 2016, Alves was rushed to the hospital after a hole appeared in his nose. He later said he was treated for life-threatening necrosis because an infection was “eating away” at his nose. The former flight attendant was later warned that his nose could turn black and drop off if he has any more operations.
Alves, who was seen on Italian show “Domenica Live” with the collapsed nose, also revealed he had a gastric balloon inserted into his stomach over the weekend to help lose weight.
“I have also gained 20 kilos [44 pounds] in the past few months due to the distress of not being able to breathe,” he says.
Now, Alves says he is only looking to have non-surgical procedures too “maintain [his] looks” since doctors have urged him to stop.
“I only had 72 surgeries because I had a lot of complications and things had to be repaired in the start,” he says. “It used to be a want, now it is a need.”
