We talk about it," Knoxville said at the time. Being a professional stuntman and all, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Johnny Knoxville has endured years and years of bruises, breaks, and bashings. Though some pain might have been worth it for a laugh, Knoxville has dealt with serious injuries throughout his career. As The New York Times reported, he's had "broken bones, sustained concussions and torn his urethra in a misbegotten attempt at back-flipping a motorcycle.
Knoxville was also in plans for a surgery on his elbow. In fact, the actor has injured himself so often that he doesn't even remember a specific incident for almost all of his aches and pains. One injury that stayed with him for years was his aforementioned torn urethra. Though the star had little practice on a motorcycle, he attempted the jump with disastrous results.
After his fall, Knoxville had to self-administer a catheter for three years. Despite the glamour and good times on screen in "Jackass," behind the scenes, Johnny Knoxville was losing control. In an interview for The New York Times , the stunt actor remembered what life was like as "Jackass" became more and more popular.
After the success of the first film, Knoxville told the outlet he was "all over the place" and he considered this period full of struggles as "pretty much a train wreck. Those were the speeds I ran at.
As a result, he decided to start self-improvement to get his life back on track, a process that included going to therapy. From those sessions, he discovered "a lot of bad behavior that cost me my first marriage. Analyzing the time period years later, he felt his issues stemmed from a combination of a quick success in the industry, coupled with an unsteady personal mindset to begin with.
Though he's best known for making audiences laugh, Johnny Knoxville is also known for his charm and unique personal style. The New York Times suggested that the star's good looks may have helped account for the "Jackass: The Movie" premiere where "34 percent of the opening-weekend audience was female. For most of his career, Knoxville sported hairstyles showing off his dark locks. But secretly, the star was hiding his true color: His hair actually started to turn gray in his 20s.
And for nearly 20 years, he kept up a faithful coloring regimen that lasted until the pandemic hit," GQ reported in After his first haircut without dye, Knoxville was shocked at what he saw. But I didn't know how gray," he said. In , GQ declared the "Jackass" star a "style icon," and not much has changed since then.
All these years and hair changes later, and as GQ noted in , Knoxville continues to rock his "punk-inflected uniform," a casual skater aesthetic that features classic pieces like Chuck Taylors, neckties, button downs, T-shirts, and Ray-Ban Wayfarers.
And these never out-of-style staples have "the charming effect of underscoring his advancing age. The stars of "Jackass" formed an unprecedented bond thanks to their unique set of activities together. And the series spawned several stars in addition to Johnny Knoxville. Ryan Dunn, one of the "Jackass" ensemble members, died in a drunk-driving accident in As he recounted on Access Hollywood in , he and a few friends went to Steve-O's house and used tough love to push him towards rehab.
Things didn't go as well for Margera. As the "Viva La Bam" star claimed to TMZ , he was booted from the fourth "Jackass" movie after he didn't adhere to the guidelines put in place by Knoxville. When GQ asked Knoxville about Margera "refusing to follow through with Knoxville-mandated rehab," he replied, "We tried to push that along. I think that's all I really want to say about it. If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction issues, help is available.
Looking back over his long career, Johnny Knoxville has plenty of crazy stunts to remember. The anaconda started wrapping itself around Dunn and holding him down. Knoxville said he wore a cup during the stunt for protection plus "electric tape around my wrists because I didn't want the snake to bite through my arteries," but it sounds like he could've used even more protective gear: After they completed the segment, the anaconda handler casually mentioned that one of their charges "took someone's calf muscle the other day.
Another stunt landed the "Jackass" star in hot water with the authorities.
