										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every good crew throughout history has had a ‘quirky’ one. In boy bands it&#8217;s usually the one who isn’t that good-looking but he can really sing, in the A-Team it was Murdoch, and amongst the wild-living bunch of dangerous stunt loving pranksters called Jackass, there was one member who was the biggest Jackass of all, the enigmatic, possibly insane, and above all fun-loving Steve-O. But where has the King of the jokers, the qualified clown, ended up in 2016 after a lifetime of profitable clowning around? Read on to find out.</p>
<h2>Steve O’s Early Life</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-46534" src="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/steveo4-150x150.jpg" alt="steveo4" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/steveo4-150x150.jpg 150w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/steveo4-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" />Steve-O was born in London, England on June 13<sup>th</sup> 1974 as Stephen Gilchrist Glover. His Mother Donna was Canadian and his father, Richard, was a high-flying executive for the Pepsi-Cola corporation. Richard’s job meant that Steve-O was brought up in a rich variety of environments. During his youth he lived in not only England, but also Canada, Venezuela and Brazil, as well as periods in Connecticut and Florida.</p>
<p>Steve-O eventually ended up at the University of Miami in 1995, but educational facilities seemed to bring out the wilder side of him, and after only one year he was kicked out for disobedience and poor grades. Another short stint at the University of New Mexico followed, but the result was the same and after only one year he was out of the school. Steve-O then decided to get the sort of education that he was really interested in, and enrolled in the Ringling Brothers Clown College in 1997. This time he had plenty of enthusiasm for his studies, and graduated from there as a fully qualified clown in 1998.</p>
<p>For the next two years Steve-O worked in a variety of jobs, he performed as a clown in a Flea-market circus, worked as an entertainer on cruise ships, and occasionally appeared in talent shows as ‘Steve-O The Alcoholic Gymnast’, which mainly consisted of him getting drunk and performing intoxicated gymnastics, although he noticed that the audience would eagerly chant ‘Steve-O, Steve-O’, and it became his performing name from that point on.</p>
<p>During that time Steve-O was also heavily into skateboarding. He sent videos of his stunts to various Skateboarding magazines, but also knew that he wasn’t an exceptional enough skater to stand out from the crowd, so Steve-O looked for an angle that would make him unique. There have been countless numbers of potential future stars throughout history who have sought a similar trademark gimmick that they can truly call their own, but Steve-O showed just how different he was, by developing and performing a ‘stunt’ where he would staple his scrotum to his leg.</p>
<p>With shockingly painful stunts such as that, Steve-O soon got noticed by the editor of the skateboarding magazine ‘Big Brother’, Jeff Tremaine, who was at that time looking for a group of people for a stunt based show. He had recruited an actor and stuntman called Philip Clapp Jr, known these days as Johnny Knoxville, to perform a variety of stunts for the show, such as being tazered by various self-defense gadgets, and he wanted a crew to work alongside Clapp for a new show on MTV.</p>
<h2>Steve-O and Jackass</h2>
<figure id="attachment_46535" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-46535" style="width: 150px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img decoding="async" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-46535" src="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/steveo5-150x150.jpg" alt="Steve-O 'Enjoying' his time with the Jackass crew" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/steveo5-150x150.jpg 150w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/steveo5-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-46535" class="wp-caption-text">Steve-O &#8216;Enjoying&#8217; his time with the Jackass crew</figcaption></figure>
<p>Jackass premiered on MTV in April 2000. It was almost instantly a big hit amongst MTV’s young viewing base, and the anarchic Jackass crew eventually stayed at MTV for three seasons, but they were controversial times for the show, and the network. Almost inevitably there were copycats who decided that they too could act like Jackasses, but of course the Jackass crew were trained stuntmen who knew what they were doing, technically at least, and it wasn’t long before someone got badly hurt.</p>
<p>A teenager in New Zealand decided to douse a school friend in gasoline and set him on fire, the boy was badly burned but fortunately survived. Critics panned the show, insisting that producers who created content for young audiences had the responsibility of making sure that the content was suitable for impressionable minds. A thirteen year old from Connecticut decided to copy a stunt where Johnny Knoxville had worn a flame retardant suit and cooked steaks attached to it by laying over a grill. The boy ended up in hospital with burns to over 25% of his body, he survived but Jackass faced a new onslaught of criticism.</p>
<p>Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut became one of the shows loudest and most influential critics. He campaigned to have the show removed from the airwaves, MTV increased their restrictions on the stunts that could be performed and made the disclaimers at the start of each episode even more clear, originally the warning had been &#8220;The following show features stunts performed by professionals and/or total idiots&#8221;, but by the second series it had become far less jokey, instead it now warned viewers that stunts were performed under carefully controlled conditions by trained stuntmen. MTV producers took the stunts away from a back-yard environment and tried to make the whole thing seem a little more professional, but despite the disclaimer at the end of every episode that Jackass producers would never accept submissions from viewers, the copycat incidents continued.</p>
<p>Eventually Johnny Knoxville became increasingly frustrated at MTV’s insistence on removing the more dangerous stunts from the show, and even though Jackass regularly pulled in four million viewers, making it one of MTV’s most popular regular shows, the writing was on the wall for Jackass on TV.</p>
<figure id="attachment_46617" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-46617" style="width: 150px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-46617 size-thumbnail" src="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/steveo7-150x150.jpg" alt="The Wildboyz, dressed as bananas, with some gorillas." width="150" height="150" srcset="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/steveo7-150x150.jpg 150w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/steveo7-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-46617" class="wp-caption-text">The Wildboyz, dressed as bananas, with some gorillas.</figcaption></figure>
<p>The first Jackass movie was released in 2002, to critical acclaim, and Steve-O and fellow Jackass Chris Pontius embarked on a new spin-off show on MTV, ‘Wildboyz’, that ran for four seasons. The show involved the pair travelling to exotic locations and was similar to Jackass, in that the pair were frequently put into situations for which they were not adequately trained or prepared, but Wildboyz also had an environmental twist, often educating the viewers about the local wildlife and culture.</p>
<p>Steve-O and Chris’s most infamous moment came when they jumped into water just 25 feet away from a great white shark, dressed as seals, but to some people dressing as Zebras in the Sahara and wandering towards a lion den was considerably more risky. Despite the dangerous nature of the stunts, Steve-O and Chris’s love of their fellow creatures was both spell-binding and revealing, as it showed that Steve-O did care passionately about something other than hedonism and playing the fool.</p>
<h2>What’s Steve-O Doing Now In 2026 – Recent Updates</h2>
<p class="p1">In 2020, he started his own podcast titled <i>Steve-O’s Wild Ride</i>, which he co-hosts with Paul Brisske and Scott Randolph. That same year, he performed his second stand-up comedy special at Denver’s Gothic Theatre, where he presented stunts and stories, in addition to previously unseen footage. The special was also the first time the <i>Jackass </i>cast reunited since the death of Ryan Dun in 2011. The comedy special was later released on July 18, 2020, and is available for streaming on his official website.</p>

<p class="p1">He then played a supporting character in the comedy film <i>Guest House</i>, which came out in September 2020. He also appeared as a guest on <i>AEQ Dynamite </i>and <i>The Eric Andre Show</i> and made a cameo in Blink-182’s “Happy Days” music video.</p>
<p class="p1">Later in 2021, he made a couple of television appearances in <i>Josh Gates Tonight </i>and <i>Straight Up Steve Austin</i>.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He also participated in the week-long <i>Jackass Shark Week</i> TV special alongside other <i>Jackass </i>cast members including Chris Pontius, Knoxville, Jasper Dolphin, and Sean McInerney.</p>
<figure id="attachment_128160" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-128160" style="width: 283px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-128160 size-full" src="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/jackass-forever.png" alt="jackass forever" width="283" height="392" srcset="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/jackass-forever.png 283w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/jackass-forever-217x300.png 217w" sizes="(max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-128160" class="wp-caption-text">A promotional poster for Jackass Forever</figcaption></figure>
<p class="p1">Since then, he has returned to the big screen in <i>Jackass Forever</i>. Released on May 20, 2022, the reality comedy film, which he co-produced, stars Steve-O alongside many of the film’s original members including Knoxville, Danger Ehren, Wee Man, Preston Lacy, and Chris Pontius. The fourth installment of the film series, it ended up grossing more than $80 million worldwide, making it a commercial success. During its filming, however, both Steve-O and Knoxville were injured on-set, which required hospitalization.</p>
<p class="p1">A <i>Jackass 4.5 </i>was later released, which included never-before-seen footage as well as behind the scenes from the Jackass crew. To promote the film, Steve-O also made a number of television appearances in <i>Entertainment Tonight, Good Morning America, CBS Saturdaying Morning, </i>and <i>Late Night with Set Meyers</i>, among other shows. He also travelled across the United States for The Bucket List Tour, which saw him telling stories and demonstrating stunts that he wasn’t allowed to do for the film.</p>
<p class="p1">Aside from the new <i>Jackass </i>film, he also appeared in several web series over the past year including <i>What the Fudge?, Snacked, Autocomplete Interview, </i>and <i>Good Mythical Morning</i>. That’s not all, he also released a new book titled <i>A Hard Kick in the Nuts: What I’ve Learned From a Lifetime of Terrible Decisions</i>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Bam Margera&#8217;s Early Life &#8211; The CKY Crew</h2>
<p>Brandon Cole Margera was born to his parents, Phil and April Margera, in West Chester, Pennsylvania on September 28, 1979. While he was still learning to walk he had a habit of running into walls. He didn’t seem to mind the impact and his grandfather started calling the boy ‘Bam’. The nickname stuck and he became universally known as Bam from that time onwards.</p>
<p>The young Bam was not wildly enthusiastic about going to high school, he later admitted that he only attended because his friend Chris Raab went there. While he was attending a graphics art class at the school he began to film a few skateboarding stunts and some sketches along with Chris Raab as well as some other friends, Ryan Dunn and Rake Yohn included.</p>
<p>Chris Raab was eventually suspended and Bam wanted to leave school. His parents managed to convince <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-27944 alignright" src="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/young-bam-margera.png" alt="young-bam-margera" width="317" height="443" />him to at least obtain his GED before leaving, and he did, but that was the end of school as far as Bam was concerned.</p>
<p>The sketches and skateboarding stunts began to grow into a larger compilation of stunts, which Bam co-wrote and directed alongside another friend who attended the same graphics art class, Brandon DiCamillo. Bam’s older brother Jess performed a few stunts for the film and was also the drummer in a band called CKY, which stood for ‘Camp Kill Yourself’. The band performed a few tunes to accompany the stunts and the film project was eventually named &#8216;Landspeed CKY&#8217;.</p>
<p>Landspeed CKY is a forerunner of Jackass in terms of content, there are plenty of skateboarding action shots and lots of stunts. Some of the stunts are quite impressively dangerous and far beyond what the Jackass crew were allowed to do for the TV series, such as the infamous dummy scenes, where a dummy is thrown onto a moving car from a bridge to the horror of the driver. There is also plenty of the inevitable juvenile humor and some bad sketches to wrap it all up. The production values aren’t too high and some of the fun isn’t that funny, but the roots of much of the Jackass format are there to see.</p>
<p>Jeff Tremaine was, at the time, the editor of the skateboarding magazine, Big Brother. Tremaine had been approached by Philip John Clapp Jr, an aspiring actor who had turned to writing to pay the bills. Clapp, who used the name Johnny Knoxville professionally, had come up with the idea of testing various self-defense gadgets on himself for an article. He pitched the concept to a few magazines and eventually spoke to Jeff Tremaine at Big Brother. Jeff loved the idea and commissioned Johnny to film it and write about the experience for Big Brother.</p>
<p>While searching for material for the video of Johnny getting zapped by assorted defensive weapons Tremaine watched Landspeed CKY and was immediately impressed with the concept behind it. Recognizing the similarities in style between Margera and Knoxville, he soon contacted Bam and Brandon DiCamillo and shortly after drafted the CKY crew into a new format alongside Knoxville.</p>
<p>Saturday Night Live made an offer to feature Jeff’s band of daredevils performing stunts every week, but the deal never went through. There was plenty of other interest in Tremaine’s idea and a bidding war between MTV and Comedy Central to air the show began. MTV won the contract and commissioned a new show called Jackass.</p>
<h2>Jackass and Bam&#8217;s TV Career</h2>
<p>Jackass the TV show first aired on MTV on April 12<sup>th</sup>, 2000 and gained a cult following almost immediately. The pointless risk-taking that the members indulged in combined with the high pain threshold of the actors impressed and appalled viewers in equal measure. The show was a talking point in tabloids and workplaces across the country before long and also began to attract a lot of negativity from those who thought it was setting a bad and dangerous example to impressionable young people everywhere.</p>
<p>Bam took a major role in the TV series, he was the only actor other than Johnny Knoxville who appeared in every episode, although Ryan Dunn and Brandon DiCamillo from CKY were regulars on the show too. Jackass eventually gained a cult following and enough publicity to hit the big screen, and in 2002 ‘Jackass: The Movie’ was released. It was heavily hyped, as much by word of mouth as by marketing and it sold-out the first weekend. The film was a huge financial success and spawned a multitude of Jackass copycat groups who indulged in stunts that ranged from incredibly stupid, through incredibly disgusting, to incredibly dangerous. The disclaimers that MTV plastered all over MTV episodes from the second series on didn’t please either the actors or the critics.</p>
<p>One particularly vocal, and influential critic of the show was Senator Joe Lieberman, he campaigned against its ‘irresponsible stupidity’ and pressured MTV to remove it from the air.</p>
<p>After an 18-year-old from New Zealand claimed he was inspired to douse a 16-year-old in gasoline and set him alight because of the show the pressure ramped up, and Jackass the TV show ended after three series.</p>
<p>All of the regular Jackass faces had a host of work offers available to them after the success of the first film and followed a variety of pursuits for the next few years. Bam had the looks, he had plenty of ideas for other shows and MTV was happy to offer him a follow-up show to Jackass.</p>
<p>‘Viva La Bam’ began in 2003 and ran for 5 series until 2005. It featured Bam, along with Ryan Dunn and Brandon DiCamillo up to their usual tricks. There were lots of pranks, particularly on Bam’s long-suffering father Phil, a huge man who was forever putting up with Bam’s sometimes disgusting pranks for the amusement of the viewing audience, in one episode Bam urinated on his sleeping father in Bed.</p>
<p>In the same year that ‘Viva La Bam’ began, Margera released the first of his three independently produced films. He wrote, directed and starred in ‘Haggard’, which was a biographical story of the troubled early love life of Ryan Dunn, who played himself. Brandon DiCamillo played four different parts and CKY crew members Rake Yohn, Brandon, Chris Raab all helped out. The film met with mixed reviews but was generally held to have some great comedy scenes and some chaotic, but original dialogue.</p>
<p>The first sequel to the Jackass series came along in 2006 and shortly afterward Bam became engaged to his childhood sweetheart, Melissa Rothstein, who was known as Missy. In 2007 the preparations for the wedding and the ceremony itself were filmed for a series MTV commissioned for the events, ‘Bams Unholy Trinity’.</p>
<p>In 2009 Bam released a book called ‘Serious as dog dirt’ that contained many previously unpublished pictures and personal writing. He continued to appear on TV in various specials and Jackass-style shows.</p>
<p>Married life didn’t go too smoothly for Bam and Missy, in 2009 Bam was hospitalized after a four-day drinking session, at the time Bam revealed the reason for the binge was that he might be divorcing. In 2010 he admitted in an interview with Howard Stern that he was seeing other women.</p>
<h2>The Shocking Death of Ryan Dunn</h2>
<p>On June 20, 2011, Bam’s great friend, Ryan Dunn, was killed while driving along with his passenger, Zachary Hartwell, a production assistant from Jackass Number Two. Ryan had been drinking and his Porsche 911 swerved off the road at high speed, slammed into a tree and burst into flames. Both men were killed instantly. Ryan had posted a picture on Twitter of he and Zach Hartwell drinking in a West Chester bar hours before the fatal trip.</p>
<figure id="attachment_27850" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-27850" style="width: 300px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-27850" src="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/bam3-300x225.jpg" alt="Ryan Dunn and Bam" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/bam3-300x225.jpg 300w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/bam3-476x357.jpg 476w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/bam3-643x483.jpg 643w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/bam3.jpg 666w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-27850" class="wp-caption-text">Ryan Dunn and Bam</figcaption></figure>
<p>Bam was in Arizona at the time of the crash and jumped on a plane to West Chester as soon as he heard about it. Journalists were there to film him as he stumbled by the side of the road, devastated by shock and grief. Fox news interviewed him shortly afterward and he was traumatized, he described Ryan as his best friend and was inconsolable. The death of Dunn provoked an outpouring of grief from Jackass fans Worldwide but also led to much criticism of him for drinking and driving. Bam and his parents defended Ryan in the media, stating that he would not have driven drunk.</p>
<p>Dunn may not have felt intoxicated at the time but tests subsequently showed him to have more than twice the legal alcohol level in his blood at the time of the accident.</p>
<p>In 2012 Bam and Missy’s troubled marriage ended in divorce, yet within a year Bam married for the second time, in Iceland to Model Nicole Boyd.</p>
<p>The Jackass films had run their course by now, the originality of the concept had been copied a thousand times by a whole new generation of Daredevils. After Ryan’s death there were a few TV appearances, alongside the rest of the Jackass crew for a Ryan Dunn tribute, and a stunt-based show, ‘Bam’s Bas Ass Game Show’ that ran for six episodes but only achieved a million viewers, it sank without trace after one series.</p>
<p>Bam got involved in a few other projects, a rap video in 2013 called ‘Bend my Dick to my Ass’ which featured the ever-resourceful Bam urinating in his own mouth amongst a host of other bizarre and clichéd scenes. It was generally considered to be a parody of rap but no-one was entirely sure other than Bam himself.</p>
<p>He continued with his fairly wild behaviour despite his marriage and increasing years and was involved in a fight with a rap collective known as the Glacier Mafia in an Icelandic festival in 2015, The newspapers reported that Bam was in a ‘strange’ condition but the more direct speaking witnesses all claimed he was acting like a ‘crazy man’.</p>
<h2>Bam Margera in 2026 &#8211; What&#8217;s He Doing Now?</h2>
<p class="p1">In January 2021, Margera revealed that he and Paramount Pictures were at odds, owing to his behavior over the past few years. While <i>Jackass </i>co-creator Jeff Tremaine fought with the studio to keep him in the next film, he was ultimately fired. On February 11, 2021, he uploaded several videos to his Instagram account, in which he could be seen crying and vomiting. He also admitted that he had broken his sobriety. The videos were removed from his Instagram account shortly afterward.</p>
<p class="p1">On May 25, 2021, a temporary restraining order was filed against Margera by Tremaine after the former harassed the latter on Instagram. Tremaine was later granted an additional three-year restraining order after he and his family were sent death threats by Margera.</p>
<p class="p1">Not long afterward, Margera filed a lawsuit against Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville, and Spike Jonze (the other co-creators of the <em>Jackass </em>franchise), as well as MTV and Paramount Pictures for his wrongful firing from <i>Jackass Forever</i>. They eventually came to a settlement in April 2022, though the terms have not been disclosed to the public. A scene that he had filmed for <i>Jackass Forever</i> would also be included in the film, despite the lawsuit.</p>
<p class="p1">As far as other film appearances go, he will be appearing in the documentary, <i>Humanity Stoked</i>, which is set to be released later this year. Written and directed by Michael Men Cohen, it will star Tony Hawk, Lizzie Armando, and Neil deGrasse Tyson.</p>

<p class="p1">In terms of his personal life, it’s been revealed that his wife had filed for child custody of their son in September 2021. However, she did not file for a divorce so the two are still married.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Johnny Knoxville is an American actor and stunt performer best known for his roles in the MTV reality series, <em>Jackass</em>. Having made his debut into the acting world as a young adult during the early 90&#8217;s, his first works as an actor were that of television commercials and various extra roles. Some of his initial projects from that time period include, <em>The Ben Stiller Show (1992), Desert Blues (1995)</em> and <em>Boob (1999). </em>However it wouldn&#8217;t be until 2000 that Knoxville would gain wide recognition for his reality show, <em>Jackass</em>ーin which, he&#8217;d also star in as a stunt performer.<em> </em>Created by Spike Jonze, Jeff Tremaine and Knoxville himself, the series featured various individuals performing crude, improvised stuntsーit would ultimately be one of the most well-known works throughout his career.</p>
<p>Over the next decade, Knoxville would continue to star in a number television series including <em>The Andy Dick Show (2001), Wildboyz (2003), Viva La Bam (2004), King of the Hill (2006), Adventures in Hollywood (2007)</em> and <em>Unhitched (2008)</em>, amongst others. He has also lent his voice to a handful of popular animated TV shows such as <em>Family Guy (2008), King of the Hill (2008) </em>and <em>Spongebob Squarepants (2012)</em>. In 2009, Knoxville was a co-creator for the reality series, <em>Nitro Circus</em>; led by stunt performer, Travis Pastrana, the series featured him and his friends as they participated in a number of mind-blowing stunts around the world. Many comparisons have been made between <em>Nitro Circus</em> and <em>Jackass</em> since the premiere of the reality show in February 2009.</p>
<p>Throughout his career, the actor has also made numerous appearances in Hollywood films including <em>Life Without Dick (2002), Grand Theft Parsons (2003), The Dukes of Hazzard (2005), The Ringer (2005), Father of Invention (2010)</em>, amongst a number of others. Besides just acting, Knoxville had also produced his first movie in 2002, when he helped to make the reality comedy film, <em>Jackass: The Movie</em>ーwhich was a spin-off of the original <em>Jackass</em> television series. For his contributions to the show business, Knoxville has garnered a number of award nominations over the years, including three MTV Movie Awards, four Teen Choice Awards, and an American Comedy Award.</p>
<p>But what has the actor/stunt performer been up to as of late? Has he retired from stunt performing or is he still at it? What happened to Johnny Knoxville? Where is he now in 2018?</p>
<h3>Johnny Knoxville&#8217;s Early Life and Career</h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-43817" src="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville2-206x300.jpg" alt="knoxville2" width="206" height="300" srcset="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville2-206x300.jpg 206w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville2-245x357.jpg 245w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville2-331x483.jpg 331w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville2.jpg 686w" sizes="(max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px" />Born on March 11, 1971 in Knoxville, Tennessee, Philip John Clapp, Jr. is the son of Lemoyne Clapp, a Sunday school instructor and Philip Clapp Sr., a car salesman and the owner of a local tire shop. He has a sister named Lynne Clapp. During one particularly frightening period during his toddler years, Knoxville had suffered from a simultaneous bout of bronchitis, pneumonia and the fluーluckily, he would later recover from the illnesses. Growing up, the young boy was very close to his father, who was known to have often played practical jokes on his son; at the time, Knoxville was also described by many of his friends to be a &#8220;daredevil.&#8221; During his adolescent years, Knoxville attended South Doyle High School and had always seemed to attract attention from his classmates with his good looks and popularityーnot to mention the fact that he was also a straight A&#8217;s student.</p>
<p>Following his high school graduation in 1989, Knoxville relocated to California to enrol at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts for which he had won a scholarship for; however due to lack of interest, he would soon drop out after two weeks. With his attention fully focused on love life at the time, Knoxville would eventually marry his long-time girlfriend, Melanie Lynn Cates in 1995; the couple would later welcome their daughter, Madison into the world the next year. A new father at the time, Knoxville would then continue to work commercial gigs for various fast-food restaurants to support his family.</p>
<p>Having worked briefly as a writer previously, Knoxville began writing various articles about pieces of self defence equipment which he&#8217;d tried on himself. His ideas and writings would soon catch the attention of the skateboarding magazine, <em>Big Brotherー</em>who would later agree to publish his works on the terms that he&#8217;d also videotape his stunts. Some of these daring experiments included Knoxville shocking himself with a stun gun, , spraying himself with pepper spray and shooting himself point-black with a .38 caliber gun while wearing a protective vest. Little did he know at the time, that his publications in the magazine would ultimately lead him to his first major television project, <em>Jackass</em>.</p>
<h3>Johnny Knoxville and His Breakthrough with Jackass</h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-43818 alignright" src="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville3-224x300.jpg" alt="knoxville3" width="224" height="300" srcset="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville3-224x300.jpg 224w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville3-768x1028.jpg 768w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville3-765x1024.jpg 765w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville3-700x937.jpg 700w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville3-267x357.jpg 267w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville3-361x483.jpg 361w" sizes="(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px" />Impressed by his stunts, the executives over at MTV eventually approached Knoxville with the idea of creating a television pilotーand thus, the reality TV show, <em>Jackass</em> would be born. Created by television directors, Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze and Knoxville himself, the American series featured risky, dangerous pranks and stunts performed by real individuals. Having only starred in a handful of minor roles in the past prior to <em>Jackass</em>, the show would ultimately act as a launchpad for Knoxville&#8217;s acting career. First aired on MTV in October 2000, the series would continue for three seasons, spanning a period of two years.</p>
<p>Besides having been involved with the show as a co-creator, Knoxville also acted as one of the many stuntmen on the show. A doer of all things risky and dangerous, he&#8217;s even said to have been knocked out cold a handful of times during the filming of the series! He would later reprise his role in the upcoming, <em>Jackass</em> films.</p>
<p>Despite having initially been criticized for the dangerous nature of the involved stunts, <em>Jackass</em> attracted a large viewer base and has since spawned a host of spin-offs, including <em>Jackass: The Movie (2002), Jackass Number Two (2006), Jackass 2.5 (2007), Jackass Presents: Mat Hoffman&#8217;s Tribute to Evel Knievel (2007), Jackass 3D (2009), Jackass 3.5 (2011), </em>and<em> Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (2012)</em>. While the possibility of an eighth film has been hinted at by Knoxville in 2014, so far nothing has been officially announced about it yet. In total, the movies of the <em>Jackass </em>franchise has grossed over $487,600,000 across the the globe.</p>
<h3>Johnny Knoxville&#8217;s Other Television Works</h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-43819" src="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville4-218x300.jpg" alt="knoxville4" width="218" height="300" srcset="https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville4-218x300.jpg 218w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville4-700x966.jpg 700w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville4-259x357.jpg 259w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville4-350x483.jpg 350w, https://gazettereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knoxville4.jpg 725w" sizes="(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px" />Following the success of <em>Jackass</em>, Knoxville would go on to appear in a number of television series throughout the early 2000&#8217;s including <em>The Andy Dick Show (2001), Viva La Bam (2004), King of the Hill (2006), WWE Raw (2008) </em>and <em>Dogg After Dark (2009)</em>. In 2003, he would also make occasional appearances in the American reality series, <em>Wildboyz</em>ーa follow-up to the earlier, <em>Jackass</em>. First premiered on MTV2 in January 2006, <em>Wildboyz</em> featured stunt performers, Chris Pontius and Steve-O as they went on to perform various precarious acts with a number of animals; in the show, the two would also travel to different countries in order to educate audiences about the local wildlife whilst performing their stunts. <em>Wildboyz</em> later ended in February 2006 after  a total of 32 episodes.</p>
<p>No stranger to the big screen, the actor also starred in a variety of films including <em>Men in Black II (2002), Grand Theft Parsons (2003), A Dirty Shame (2004), The Dukes of Hazzard (2005), Father of Invention (2010) </em>and <em>The Last Stand (2013)</em>, amongst many other works. He has also voiced various characters in a handful of animated shows such as <em>Family Guy (2008), King of the Hill (2008),</em> and<em> Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)</em>.</p>
<p>Fast forward to 2009, Knoxville would act as an executive producer for the first time in the reality show, <em>Nitro Circus</em>. Described to be an &#8220;action sport collective,&#8221; the series revolved around Travis Pastrana and his friends, who would travel across the globe on their dirt bikes to perform circus worthy stunts for various groups of audiences. Initially broadcast on the MTV Network in February 2009,<em> Nitro Circus</em> continued for a total of 21 episodes, through two season. Following the final episode, a second season was then ordered by the network, ーwhich later aired in August 2009. Since then, the reality show has also spawned a 3D movie titled, <em>Nitro Circus: The Movie 3D</em> which was released in the U.S. on August 8, 2012.</p>
<p>Not close to retirement anytime soon, the actor has also starred in a series of movies and television shows these past few years, including the American comedy, <em>Drunk History (2013), </em>the sitcom, <em>Maron (2013), </em>the action film, <em>The Last Stand (2013), </em>and the animated Nickelodeon movie, <em>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014). </em>In 2013, he was also involved in the producing and writing of the <em>Jackass</em> movie, <em>Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpaー</em>a hidden-camera comedy.</p>
<h3>Johnny Knoxville&#8217;s Personal Life</h3>
<p>As previously mentioned, Knoxville married Melanie Lynn Cates in 1995 at the age of twenty four. The couple later welcomed a daughter named Madison into the family a year later in 1996. Despite having been together for over a decade, the pair later divorced in July 2006, having been separated a year earlier. In 2010, the stuntman married Naomi Nelson, after popping the question to the actress with a 2.5 carat engagement ring; just a year prior, the pair had announced that they would be expecting a baby. Nelson eventually gave birth to their son, Nocko Clapp on December 20, 2009; she would later give birth to a daughter named Ario Lemoyne Clapp on October 6, 2011.</p>

Released in China in July 2016, the film centres around a detective named Bennie Chan (played by Jackie Chan) who has been on a mission to track down a notorious crime leader named Matador, for over ten years; after getting himself into trouble with a crime syndicate, Bennie must then find an American con artist named Connor Watts (played by Knoxville).
