What Exactly Happened To The Cast Of Jackass?
‘Jackass’ was the ultimate daredevil show that instantly took the world by storm. However, it’s been more than 20 years since the franchise first hit our screens, and a lot has happened to the cast over the years.
When it comes to shows that have us hiding behind the couch and cringing in second-hand pain, ‘Jackass’ is probably up there as the top. Although the cast was willing to push themselves to incredible heights, it seems it took more of a toll on them than anyone ever realized.
Jackass was unlike anything anyone had ever seen on the small screen
‘Jackass’ dominated the small screen as soon as it hit the air in the year 2000. It was about ten guys who were seemingly willing to do anything to get a reaction from the world, even if that meant pulling off pranks and putting their bodies through pain that should never be experienced by any human being.
It was crude, it was hilarious to some, and it became an instant hit as soon as it was picked up by MTV. The show started thanks to the skater culture that dominated the ‘90s, and it wasn’t long before the ‘Jackass’ stars became household names. The fact that nothing was ever too much or off limits meant the cast were always looking for new ways to outdo themselves.
A disclaimer at the start of each episode rattled plenty of parents and adults
One of the things many people remember from ‘Jackass’ episodes is the disclaimer at the beginning of each one that urged people not to try these hijinks at home for themselves. Of course, most of us would never want to go through anything of the such, but that didn’t stop some people from trying to become stars in similar ways.
It might come as little surprise that the ‘Jackass’ disclaimer did little to put many parents’ minds at rest as they rallied to have the show shut down before their children started to recreate the stunts. In fact, Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut Senator, used the disclaimer to urge people to think of the children. Sadly, this did nothing more than help the show’s popularity.
Jackass only lasted for 25 episodes before multiple issues meant it turned to films instead
‘Jackass’ continued to dominate the airwaves as three seasons were released in quick succession. The problem? The cast had to continually pull something new out of the bag and push themselves further and further each time if they wanted to keep people coming back from more. For a time, it appeared to work, as ‘Jackass’ was one of the highest-rated shows of the time.
Even though it was hugely popular and had a host of fans, ‘Jackass’ only ever released 25 episodes. In the end, the show was canceled and swapped to feature films instead. There have been four theatrical releases and three straight-to-DVD movies. This was enough for some of the ‘Jackass’ casts to get the movie bug, while others fell off the wagon.
A ‘Jackass Curse’ has been linked to the show due to the number of problems the cast has faced
It comes to something when a mysterious curse is linked to your TV show. While it might sound like something that could keep people coming back to ‘Jackass’ for years to come, it appears that it’s nothing of the sort. In fact, the ‘Jackass Curse’ is something that’s plagued the majority of the cast throughout the years.
Most of the cast members have been through a host of issues with addiction, several injuries that have left plenty with permanent repercussions, and some have even lost their lives throughout the years. The ‘Jackass Curse’ is sadly also something that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere any time soon. The original series might have ended years ago, but that doesn’t mean the issues have come to an end.
Bam Margera spent most of the time on Jackass under the influence of drink
Bam Margera is one of the most recognizable faces from the ‘Jackass’ series. Before he hit the big time, Bam actually worked as a professional skateboarder – something that helped get the show off the ground in the first place. He was busy working with his CKY Crew, but not everyone knew that he was also battling addiction.
It wasn’t until behind-the-scenes footage from ‘Jackass’ hit the screens that people realized just how much drinking Bam did between takes. In fact, Bam was rescued by paramedics and state troopers in 2009 after four days of drinking led to severe “dehydration.” This wasn’t the only time professionals had to step in to help Bam – and it certainly wasn’t going to be the last either.
He was forced to take a break from skating, which only made his drinking issues worse
For years, Bam Margera had made a name for himself on the skate ramps. This was the thing he was best at before he became known for pushing his body to the limits, so losing the sport was enough to see things spiral down further than ever before. Bam confessed to People magazine in 2017 that he actually “took a five year hiatus from skating.”
Apparently, this was due to “bone spurs” and led Bam to a dark place in his life. He confessed that he would only make money “shooting photos,” drinking, and “doing nightclub appearances.” In the end, Bam found himself drinking to excess every night. The ‘Jackass’ star confessed he knew enough was enough when he woke up in a puddle of his own bodily fluids.
Bam Margera tried rehab and interventions, but nothing ever seemed to work
Even though Bam Margera knew that he had drinking issues, it seemingly took years for him to get the help he needed to beat the hold it had on his life. That moment came in 2015 when Bam entered rehab for the first time. Unfortunately, he didn’t complete the program before Bam discharged himself and relapsed.
Things were so bad that his mother, April Margera, stepped in to try and help. April explained to the reality show ‘Family Therapy with Dr. Jenn’ that she needed help to get Bam away from the drink. April later confessed to TMZ that appearing in the series was enough to keep her son sober for three months. Little did anyone know that it wasn’t to last.
Getting arrested was enough for Bam Margera to change for a time
For a time, Bam Margera decided to step away from his usual life in the US and move to Barcelona. It seemed to help calm his drinking and get things back on track, but that all changed when Bam returned to Pennsylvania a few months later. Bam was later arrested while driving in Los Angeles for driving while under the influence.
Apparently, this was enough of a wake-up call for Bam to enter rehab in LA. Yet again, this didn’t last. April Margera told Page Six that Bam was “determined,” but he wanted “to keep that private.” Bam’s mother added that her son was already struggling in rehab and was “mad at himself for being stupid.” For the time, it was all about getting better for Bam.
Bam Margera was held at gunpoint and relapsed as a result
Amazingly, it seemed that Bam Margera had managed to get back on the wagon and was ready to get his life on track when the unthinkable happened. The ‘Jackass’ star headed to Colombia in August 2018 on his own, where he was quickly held at gunpoint. Bam took to social media shortly after the event to explain what happened.
He said that he took a “random” taxi from the airport but “couldn’t speak Spanish,” and the drivers “couldn’t speak English,” so they had to “[translate] on their phone for me to read.” Bam continued to add that they wanted him to “Empty your wallet” as he handed over “$500.” According to Bam, he reached for a drink due to “being alone, bored, and robbed.”
The Jackass star was determined to make it through rehab but ended up leaving a third time
It took a year, but it appeared as though 12 months of drinking was enough for Bam Margera to realize he had undone his hard work of heading to rehab the years before. He took to social media to tell the world that he was about to check into rehab for his addiction for the third time. Bam confessed that he hoped “the term 3rd time is a charm is true.”
Even though the ‘Jackass’ star appeared to be determined, it didn’t last. Just ten days after he checked in, Bam was back on social media. This time, he stated that he would rather learn how to be sober on his own as he realized it was when he was “bored” that he reached for a drink.
Bam Margera’s family had him committed to a mental health facility after several failed rehab stints
Heading to rehab for the third time might not have been a complete waste of time for Bam, who confessed on social media that he had “an explosion of good ideas” while he was away. Now, he planned to “exercise, skate, workout, yoga, bike way more” in a bid to get things back on track. Tragically, that all changed by the end of the year.
An online video showed Bam making threats and screaming at his manager in an NYC comedy club, and it wasn’t long before his family and friends stepped in to help. They decided to have Bam committed to a mental health facility to try and help. Just one week later, Bam was sent home to continue his recovery.
Several cease-and-desist letters have been issued for parties at Castle Bam
Getting sent home meant that Bam Margera could quickly work on getting his life back to normal. The problem? The normal the ‘Jackass’ star had known for so long was partying into the early hours of the morning and drinking to excess. Just because ‘Jackass’ had earned him a host of fans, that didn’t mean his Pennsylvania neighbors were on the list.
In fact, Bam was reportedly sent a host of cease-and-desist letters that threatened the star with time behind bars if he didn’t stop his parties as Castle Bam. Bam wasn’t shy about telling the world that he was ignoring the letters and the parties would be “happening anyway.” He continued to say they could “fine him” and how they “make up your own rules.”
He later confessed that drinking partly came from wanting to look good on camera
One thing many people want to know is how things got so out of control for Bam Margera in the first place. Amazingly, it might not be the reason you think. It turns out that Bam turned to the bottle once he realized that everyone was going to be watching him on camera because he was worried how he would look.
April Margera confessed to ‘Epicly Later’d’ that Bam was good friends with Ville Valo, the singer from HIM. Even though she described Ville as “the loveliest man ever,” April says, “he never ate. He just drank.” Bam was allegedly worried that he would appear to be overweight if he gained any weight while working on ‘Jackass’ and continued to drink because “he liked the way he looked.”
Things later escalated into Bam Margera developing a significant eating disorder
Eating disorders come in many shapes and sizes, and everyone has their own ways of dealing with the emotions. It seems that for Bam Margera, it all started as drinking to excess instead of eating meals. However, things quickly escalated to the point that he would drink to curb his appetite and make himself ill if he ever ate food.
April continued to explain to ‘Epicly Later’d’ that her son would “immediately excuse himself and go to the bathroom” every time they went out to dinner. Still, this was something Bam never tried to hide. Instead, when he was confronted, Bam merely replied that he did it “sometimes” because that way he believed “I’m not gonna get fat” as a result.
The Jackass star gave up skateboarding for a time as he believed he was too heavy for the board
It appears that distorted thinking about his weight is always something that has plagued Bam Margera. That’s because there was once a time that his worries about his weight also affected his passion for skateboarding. In 2019, Bam appeared on the talk show ‘Dr. Phil,’ where he confessed that he fell into a depression and began to drink more when he felt too old to skateboard.
Bam also told Vice that he thought he was too heavy at “230 pounds” and would look like “a sweaty meatball doing a neat trick.” Thankfully, the ‘Jackass’ star shed 30 pounds and headed to Barcelona to work on his skateboarding. Bam hoped people wouldn’t recognize him as much and he could skate without pressure from the professionals.
Bam Margera has turned his hand to art in recent years
‘Jackass 3.5’ was enough to put the stars’ names back on the map as they broke back into the headlines and earned a generation of new fans. However, there were some changes to the stars. One of the most noticeable alterations was how Bam Margera appeared to have curbed his drinking at long last.
The Southern Chester County Weeklies later reported that Bam had teamed up with artist John Hannafin to work on his artwork. It’s said the ‘Jackass’ star began painting while he was recovering from an injury, and it wasn’t long before he fell for the art. Of course, it probably wouldn’t be Bam without the confession he prefers to paint women – especially in their birthday suits – and fellow ‘Jackass’ star Brandon Novak.
Welcoming his son has seen Bam Margera try to turn his life around
2017 was a major year for Bam Margera as he suddenly had a huge reason to turn his life around. That came in the form of his first child, Phoenix Wolf, he shares with his wife, Nicole Boyd. Bam later told Dr. Phil that his son was his new “best friend” and that he would do anything to ensure Phoenix was kept safe from the world.
Tragically, Bam confessed that he had a mental breakdown shortly after welcoming his son, telling Dr. Phil that he could “just go to the light and be free.” Apparently, Bam realized the “pain was gone,” and he had to “beg for the pain back” just so he “could stay because I want to be with him.”
His Jackass castmates put strict rules in place in Bam’s new contract
‘Jackass 4’ – now known as ‘Jackass Forever’ – has been highly anticipated ever since it was announced in 2019. Bam Margera has been with the franchise since it started and has always been a significant part of the show. Sadly, it appeared that was about to end with the latest work. TMZ reported that Bam was allegedly asked to leave the movie in February 2021 as he “essentially broke his contract.”
The publication continued to add that his friends and co-stars reportedly wanted Bam to succeed but wanted to ensure his “erratic behavior” and addictions didn’t interfere with filming. In the end, they supposedly put a host of clauses in place in Bam’s contract that included regular drinks and narcotics tests, staying sober, and seeing a psychologist.
Bam Margera was eventually left out of Jackass 4 – and he didn’t take it well
It might come as little surprise that Bam Margera didn’t take the news of getting booted from ‘Jackass Forever’ very well. It’s believed he did something that went against his contract and was ultimately let go, meaning it wasn’t long before Bam took to social media to rant in a now-deleted video.
Here, he spoke for ten minutes about boycotting the movie and how he “was forced to take” medication for depression while filming ‘Jackass’ in years gone by. Bam also stated that he had thought about taking his own life and how he had been drinking again before posting the video. The next day, Bam stated he felt “bonkers” and “crazy” when he filmed the video and was about to seek a bipolar specialist.
Steve-O eventually revealed that he began drinking before he turned 12 years old
It didn’t take long for fans of ‘Jackass’ to realize that Steve-O was the one who would never say no to a dare. Just because nothing was ever too much for the star to do on screen didn’t mean that life was easy for Steve-O away from the cameras. In fact, it seems he has been battling demons since a young age.
In 2019, Steve-O spoke to ‘In Depth with Graham Bensinger’ about it all, where he confessed that he had been drinking adult beverages since before he was 12 years old. Apparently, it all started when his mom would give him “just a little” drink on airplanes to help stop Steve-O from crying. Unfortunately, that was enough to develop into a full-blown addiction.
The Jackass star put himself in a host of dangerous situations due to illegal substances
It wasn’t just drinking that dominated much of Steve-O’s life, as the ‘Jackass’ star has also confessed to being addicted to a host of illegal substances. According to his interview with ‘In Depth with Graham Bensinger,’ there were often days that Steve-O would use multiple substances in one day just to get through the day. However, there were still certain substances that he would never touch.
Unfortunately, his addictions meant that Steve-O was often put in dangerous situations. One of those came when he was spending time with his dealer, who happened to pass out. However, Steve-O wanted more, so he tried to take substances from the table, even though his dealer’s human immunodeficiency virus-infected blood was already on there. Thankfully, Steve-O didn’t catch the virus.
Being willing to do anything landed Steve-O in a host of legal trouble
Being an anything goes type of person meant that Steve-O would try anything one – no matter what it was. Unfortunately, the mentality teamed with his love of illegal substances meant it wasn’t long before the ‘Jackass’ star found himself in a host of legal trouble. One of those moments came in 2002 when he was arrested following a performance at a nightclub in Louisiana.
Steve-O was charged with stapling a private part of his body to his leg, but that wasn’t all. The following year, Steve-O was arrested again. This time it was in Sweden after footage emerged of him swallowing illegal substances and regurgitating them later live on stage. Two months later, Steve-O was arrested again for using the bathroom in public.
Steve-O was kicked off a live Jackass event but later threatened to take his own life
Even though he was in and out of jail and the ‘Jackass’ crew seemingly knew that Steve-O was suffering from battling several addictions, he continued to work with the franchise as one of the leading faces of the brand. That was until 2008 when things reached a new level for ‘Jackass.’ The team was working on the live ‘Jackass MTV 24 Hour Takeover’ for the network.
However, they noticed that Steve-O appeared to be under the influence of drink, so booted him from the segment. Just days later, the ‘Jackass’ star was arrested for possession of illegal substances and vandalism after he was recorded putting holes in his neighbor’s apartment wall. Tragically, Steve-O quickly sent an email to Johnny Knoxville about ending his own life.
Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O’s close friends were forced to step in and save their friend
Being so close meant that it wasn’t long before Johnny Knoxville sprung into action and collected everyone he could find to try and help Steve-O back from the edge. Knoxville later told Access Hollywood that they “all had our eye” on their friend as they knew that Steve-O had “gotten to a really bad point” due to all of the illegal substances he’d been taking.
Apparently, Knoxville enlisted the help of ten “big guys” to take Steve-O into rehab. However, he wouldn’t go down without a fight. Knoxville says they placed him under medical hold and “instructed the guys to knock you out” if Steve-O refused. Thankfully, the ‘Jackass’ star relented. However, his three-day stay turned into two weeks after Steve-O reportedly tried to end his life.
Steve-O has been sober for more than a decade and thanks Johnny Knoxville for saving his life
Things have changed a lot for Steve-O in recent years, and thankfully, it appears the ‘Jackass’ star has been able to break the ‘Jackass Curse.’ In 2018, Steve-O took to social media to celebrate ten years of being sober as he expressed how grateful he was to have a second chance at life after thinking he would never get back on track.
Steve-O wrote it was “hard to believe” it had been so long and how he “just can’t put into words how grateful I am” for Johnny Knoxville and “the rest of the guys.” Thankfully, Steve-O has remained on the wagon ever since and is rapidly approaching the 14-year mark of sobriety. Hopefully, that number only continues to grow.
Johnny Knoxville had to quit Jackass as his body couldn’t take any more injuries or concussions
Believe it or not, but it was Johnny Knoxville who came up with the idea of ‘Jackass’ in the first place. He wanted to sell a story to magazines about testing self-defense equipment on himself, but no one would cover the liability. In the end, the idea switched to a video and was ultimately picked up by MTV.
Throughout the years, Knoxville suffered a host of injuries. He told GQ that he had to use a catheter for three years, had a brain hemorrhage, and several broken bones, among other injuries. All of this was enough for Knoxville to realize he had to walk away from ‘Jackass’ if he wanted to survive. Apparently, Knoxville knew, “I can’t afford to have any more concussions.”
Ryan Dunn was forced to leave Jackass due to a life-threatening blood clot
Ryan Dunn is another face from ‘Jackass’ who was once a household name. However, the star couldn’t stay forever. It’s no secret that all of the daredevil antics left the guys pretty injured throughout the years. Still, one thing that many people don’t know is how far the injuries went or the damage they almost did.
That was the case for Ryan when filming ‘Jackass Number Two’ in 2006. Apparently, he had been diagnosed with a blood clot in his shoulder that could easily be enough to end his life if anything went wrong. Ryan ultimately left but fell into a depression. He quickly cut off all contact with almost everyone from his former life as no one heard from Ryan for two years.
Ryan posted about drinking with a Jackass assistant hours before he lost his life in a car accident
Thankfully, Ryan Dunn returned to the franchise for ‘Jackass 3D’ and was still close with a production assistant named Zachary Hartwell from ‘Jackass Number Two.’ The pair were drinking at a bar and posted videos on social media of their adventure before they climbed into a car in June 2011. This was the last thing they ever did.
Ryan only turned 34 nine days before the accident when they lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree in Pennsylvania. Reports later claimed they lost their lives on impact as they were traveling up to 140 mph in a 55 zone. Plus, they both had drink levels that were over double the maximum limit for driving in the state.
Losing Ryan Dunn affected everyone from Jackass, but it hit bam Margera the most
It might come as no surprise that losing someone from the ‘Jackass’ team was enough to send many of them into a spiral. Most of them were already in a sensitive place in their lives as several were battling addictions and thoughts of taking their own lives. Tragically, losing Ryan Dunn affected Bam Margera more than most others.
Chris Raab told Page Six that they had been “friends since we were 12 years old,” and he was “like my brother.” Chris added that “It completely destroyed me” when Ryan passed away. April Margera continued to add that Ryan was “like a member of our family” and how Ryan instantly found a place where he belonged when he started working on ‘Jackass’ with the others.
Ehren McGhehey has urged people not to perform Jackass stunts due to the number of injuries he’s endured
There were plenty of reasons that Ehren McGhehey was known as “Danger Ehren” – mainly because he lost so many teeth and injured himself so many times thanks to stunts on ‘Jackass.’ However, it appears that Ehren might have had inspiration to outperform everyone else, as he told Page Six everyone was “kind of competing for that time [on TV].”
Ehren continued to add there were “obviously” things he didn’t want to do. However, the ‘Jackass’ star doesn’t regret his time on the show as it “makes people laugh.” In the end, Ehren walked away with three broken backs, nine knee surgeries, and 25 operations in total. Now, he wants people to know “The pain is real,” and we “only get one body. Take care of it.”
Chris Raab went from professional skateboarder to addict after working on Jackass
The world quickly learned that most of the ‘Jackass’ stars made a name for themselves in the world of skateboarding. The fearless attitude often associated with the sport and the injuries most had already endured meant they all fit into the show with ease. Chris Raab was another that joined ‘Jackass’ and was part of the CKY Crew.
However, Chris says that he never knew how far things would go. It started as taking pain medication for injuries but told Page Six that the “obsessive lifestyle” that came from the show meant he soon became addicted and was “so caught up in it.” Chris stated that most of them spent their time pointing the blame at others and justifying their behavior by saying they weren’t as bad as others.
The Jackass star walked away from the franchise when his addictions turned too dark to handle
It appears that most of the ‘Jackass’ stars were caught up in the ‘Jackass Curse’ that saw them turn to various addictions. However, Chris Raab knew that he didn’t want to live like that for the rest of his life. He continued to tell Page Six that he “had to pull out of the Jackass stuff” and pulled out of the second and third movies.
Apparently, he was “paranoid about friends,” and his addictions took a dark turn as Chris spent more time “wanting to be alone.” According to the star, he would spend all day taking illegal substances in his home and spending his time away from the world, to the point that Chris thought about ending his own life.
Chris blew through his Jackass money and had to wait tables, but has been sober ever since
Chris Raab has been sober for around a decade and has since left his work with ‘Jackass’ in the past. That doesn’t mean that crafting a normal life for himself has been easy. He spoke to Page Six, where Chris admitted he “had to get a job” as he “didn’t get rich like some of the guys.” Any money the former ‘Jackass’ star did make, he “blew it like an idiot.”
Apparently, it was common for them to fly to random islands and do whatever they wanted with their new money. In the end. Chris was forced to start waiting tables, where he was often recognized. The star admits that a 16-year-old once told him the ‘Jackass’ crew was “really dumb” and led him to a dark place.
Brandon Novak lived with Bam Margera, and it turned into a dangerous combination
Bam Margera introduced a host of faces to ‘Jackass’ throughout the years, thanks to his CKY Crew. One of the many on the list was Brandon Novak, as the pair had known each other for years. Novak eventually appeared in ‘Jackass Number Two’ and ‘Jackass 3D,’ but there was one aspect that never made its way to the screen.
That was the fact that Novak was addicted to dangerous illegal substances for 21 years. Apparently, Novak would stay with Bam in between work, and things often got out of control. He told Gorilla Films that “if people wanted to be friends with me,” they would simply offer Novak narcotics and get the party started. This continued to fuel Novak’s addictions for years.
The Jackass star confessed to a host of illegal activities and was kicked off the tour
Even though they were friends for years, it seems that Bam Margera eventually had enough of his friend’s behavior, as Brandon Novak was kicked out of his house in 2007. They were working on an episode of ‘Radio Bam’ when the ‘Jackass’ star learned Novak had lied about hiding illegal substances in the house.
A few years later, Novak was arrested for an outstanding warrant. He was forced to check into the hospital for injuries sustained while working on ‘Jackass 3D’ but walked out in handcuffs. Things got worse in 2011 when Novak told ‘Radio Bam’ he used another inmate’s sample to pass a narcotics test in jail. This was enough to see him head back behind bars for another ten months.
Brandon Novak headed to rehab in 2015 and has been living sober ever since
Thankfully, it seems that Brandon Novak is another former star who has been able to break the ‘Jackass Curse.’ However, it took plenty of battles and a long time of realizing what he could lose to turn things around. Novak went into rehab in 2015 and has thankfully been sober ever since. That’s not all.
Novak now uses his experiences with illegal substances and addiction to try and inspire others. In 2017, Novak confessed he now speaks at colleges, where he says “sobriety has given me everything” he believed he would get from drink and narcotics. Plus, Novak now believes that he has “never been happier in my life.” Hopefully, Novak is another who will continue to go from strength to strength.
Johnny Knoxville is the reason Jackass 4 is finally becoming a reality
‘Jackass 3.5’ last hit the big screen in 2011, with many fans believing this was the last we would ever see from the team. Amazingly, that all changed in 2019 when it was announced ‘Jackass 4’ was well underway. The project was set to be released in 2021, but the global pandemic means it has been postponed a handful of times.
‘Jackass Forever’ is now expected to hit the big screen in February 2022. It turns out that we have Johnny Knoxville to thank for the next rendition in the series, as he told Entertainment Weekly, “It’s not like we’re saying no” when asked about a reunion. However, Knoxville confessed they needed to “bring some fresh blood in” as the original ‘Jackass’ team is now a lot older.
It didn’t take long for the stars to get injured on the set of Jackass Forever
Even though the ‘Jackass’ team is older and knew they needed to reach out to new people to bring ‘Jackass 4’ to life, it seems it wasn’t long before they were all getting involved with the stunts. However, Johnny Knoxville had already been open about needing to take things steady as his body couldn’t take any more injuries.
So how was it that he and Steve-O ended up in the hospital just two days after they started filming? Apparently, they both tried to get onto a treadmill while it was running at full speed with tubas in their hands. It might come as little surprise that things ended badly, and the pair needed medical treatment. Thankfully, it seems filming was soon back on schedule.
Johnny Knoxville has been sitting on quite the bank balance since his days on Jackass
The fact that most of us would never attempt anything seen on ‘Jackass’ meant thousands of people couldn’t get enough of the show. Apparently, that pays pretty well – especially when you’re the person who thought of the idea in the first place. Celebrity Net Worth now estimates that Johnny Knoxville could be worth as much as $75 million.
A lot of his income has come from the ‘Jackass’ franchise, but it seems that’s not the only thing he’s worked on throughout the years. Knoxville has also landed a host of acting roles in various movies and has two production companies under his belt. All of this has been helped by the handful of property deals Knoxville has made throughout the years.
The Jackass star has embraced his natural looks since leaving Jackass all those years ago
It can be tough to believe that it’s been more than two decades since ‘Jackass’ first hit our screens. We have come a long way ever since, but it seems the crew isn’t quite ready to give up on the show, thanks to the new movie on the way. Would you believe that Johnny Knoxville has been hiding a secret since almost the start of the show?
In 2020, he revealed to his social media fans that “I’m no longer a natural brunette.” As if that’s not enough, Knoxville says that “[hasn’t] been for over 20 years.” The global pandemic meant that no one could keep up with their usual beauty routines. Knoxville was no exception as he decided to embrace his gray hair.
