Johnny Knoxville has achieved fame largely by being the chief of the “Jackass” crew relationship again to the MTV days. Extra particularly, Knoxville has put his physique by means of hell for the sake of leisure. The “Magic Trick” stunt from “Jackass Ceaselessly” was so gnarly that he needed to rethink his strategy to stunts from that second ahead. That is going to have an effect on what Knoxville can (and extra importantly cannot) do within the forthcoming “Jackass 5.”
Knoxville lately confirmed that “Jackass 5” is coming this summer time. Throughout a current dialog on the podcast “Books That Modified My Life,” the actor and stuntman revealed that he is nonetheless going to be himself, which means he will take some punishment within the new film regardless of being nicely into his 50s — he simply cannot get hit within the head. Here is what he needed to say about it:
“I can not do something the place I can get one other concussion. [I’m] method over my restrict for concussions, however I do not care about the rest. I simply cannot get hit within the head anymore — however lots of different guys can.”
Knoxville added that the films are “pure hell for the forged, however they’re lots of enjoyable for me … They’re having enjoyable too. I am very enthusiastic about that.”
Over time, Knoxville has taken a beating and, as he factors out, he is had a number of concussions on account of his numerous time within the ring with bulls and, on one event, getting knocked out by Butterbean in a division retailer. That is taken a toll. It is also a giant purpose why “Jackass Ceaselessly” introduced in a brand new, youthful crew to share display time with the outdated guys. It is not all on Knoxville anymore.
Jackass 5 is shaping as much as be one thing totally different
“Jackass 5” is shaping as much as be a singular beast inside this shockingly enduring franchise. Johnny Knoxville is, by his personal requirements, going to should take it simpler than traditional. Steve-O and a lot of the remainder of the fellows are into their 50s as nicely. Are there going to be much more new forged members? Are we going to see extra from the likes of Poopies and Rachel Wolfson? There are many questions however what little we all know makes it clear this film will not be fairly like what’s come earlier than.
Bam Margera was hardly in “Jackass Ceaselessly,” largely resulting from alleged substance abuse points and a messy lawsuit that adopted. However Margera can be featured within the new film, although he will not be filming something new. Slightly, they are going to use archival footage that did not make it into the final film. Margera lately talked to TMZ about it, saying the next:
“They mentioned, ‘We’re gonna sift by means of lots of outdated footage to attempt to create one thing new.’ And I mentioned, ‘Hell yeah, go for it.’ As a result of I bear in mind filming a lot humorous s**t that by no means made it into the film, just because it most likely can be too lengthy or it is simply too gnarly. I mentioned, ‘Have at it.’ So far as I do know, I haven’t got to movie something new, and I do not wish to.”
Between the return of Bam (however not with new footage), Knoxville watching his head, and a presumed passing of the torch to some younger blood, this might be a giant second for “Jackass” followers. They may by no means high the excessive highs of “Jackass Quantity Two,” however damned if they don’t seem to be going to strive.
“Jackass 5” is ready to hit theaters on June 26, 2026.
