Johnny Knoxville

Since Jackass kicked off in 2000, Johnny has undergone countless injuries including a blow to his bladder which left him having to treat himself with a urinary tube every day for three years.

After the latest film left him with a brain haemorrhage, he finally decided to retire saying that his wife and kids don’t want him risking his life anymore.

Johnny, 50, says: “My family doesn’t like me doing this type of thing. I’ve done enough. I don’t have anything to prove. I have kids to raise. That’s the most important thing.”

The actor has been married to Naomi since 2010 and has three children from his two marriages.

Steve O

Johnny's famous wingman, Steve-O's was arrested in 2001 for stapling his own genitals to his leg.

Steve-O has appeared in a number of reality shows, including the US version of Strictly and Love Island in 2006 which he left after there was "no beer or chocolate".

In 2015, he dated Stacey Solomon after they met filming The Jump together. The relationship lasted a few months when Steve just stopped communicating.

Speaking to new! magazine, Stacey said: "I have no idea what happened, genuinely. I just haven't heard from him."

Steve has been sober since going into rehab 13 years ago – but admits he became a sex addict.

The 47-year-old actor saw a sex therapist because “I just couldn't keep it in my pants.”

Bam Margera

Skateboard fanatic Bam was one of the founders of the original Jackass crew.

He was so popular he even appeared in his own spin-off Viva La Bam.

However, more recently the star had a huge fall out with Jackass director Jeff Tremaine who was granted a three-year restraining order against Bam whom he claimed threatened his children.

Tremaine alleged Bam wrote in one message: “I’m gonna kill you in one motherf*****g punch”.

Bam, 42, was cut from the new movie for supposedly continuing “to get loaded” in breach of his contract.

Ryan Dunn

Original cast member Ryan Dunn founded the Jackass crew with Bam Margera.

The star lost his life in a car accident in 2011 after leaving a bar with Jackass production assistant Zachary Hartwell, who also died.

He lost control of his sportscar while travelling at 130mph and crashed into a tree.

Both Ryan, 34, and Zachary, 29, were tragically killed in the fire that engulfed the vehicle.

Writing on his Twitter page, Johnny told followers: "Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. "My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. RIP Ryan, I love you buddy."

He also posted a picture of the 34-year-old apparently getting ready for a prank alongside his comment.

Meanwhile, Ryan's close friend Bam also tweeted his sadness at the news of his passing, as well as lashing out at a film critic who claimed the star was drinking and driving.

Chris Pontius

Chris 'Party Boy' was known as the group's resident exhibitionist and has included his manhood in all manner of stunts including tying it to a helicopter in Jackass 3D.

However, in 2022, the stunts have been tailored for a post #metoo audience, and he was warned against flashing while the cameras were not rolling in case it was considered “sexual harassment”.

He says: “They’re like, ‘Unless you’re shooting, you can’t have your penises out'.”

Jason Wee Man Acuna

The actor, who has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia, famously skated down Venice Beach in Los Angeles dressed as an Oompa Loompa.

In 2020, the internet tried to say he had died but Wee Man is alive and well and last filmed with WWE legend Brock Lesnar slamming him into a table.

Now 48, three years ago he sold all his possessions and decided to live in a Mercedes van instead.
