The Truth About What Happened To Johnny Knoxville

Remember the MTV reality stunt show "Jackass" from the early aughts? If you do, you will remember its co-creator and star Johnny Knoxville. "Jackass" aired for three seasons and because of its success, the reality show turned into a film series a year later.

Knoxville also managed to successfully parlay his "Jackass" fame into starring roles in hit movies like "Men In Black II," "The Dukes of Hazzard," and "The Ringer." That’s a pretty good run for a comedic prankster. But what is the funny stuntman doing these days? It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Knoxville. We’ve made a video that catches you up on the truth about what happened to Johnny Knoxville. Watch and find out!

What do you think about Johnny Knoxville?

I met him in a club years ago. He was so friendly to everyone. He posed for selfies and spoke to everyone who approached him. I was drunk off my ass and know I had to be annoying but he was so nice to me and my friends.

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.

His father died of a broken heart. I’m certain this will happen to my parents. After being together 50 years, I can definitely see why spouses follow the other back to back like that. The number of years doesn’t matter. You lose the love of your life at anytime, it’s near impossible to come back from that.

Ever since Ryan Dunn died, the crew has never been the same and i don’t blame them. Hopefully 4 brings back the magic

[donnamcmanus]

He's just so engaging & watchable. I feel bad for Bam but I think he needs to get counseling.

Didn't Johnny once break his own wee-wee by managing to drop a motorcycle on it?

[iliketocomment]

Johnny Knoxville definitely smashed that.

[Kramos_Skate]

Wow Knox & Simpson! Never imagined.

[hranko]

I'm so confused. Is this the truth about what happened to him, or just a list of facts and trivia?

[MetalChickDave]

In the photo with him and his dad he looks a lot like the actor from AHS!! Finn he was/is still handsome

Knoxville standing strong in his 50's

I don't want to be evil anymore from brain injuries all I want is friends. THINKING THEY ARE MY FRIENDS THEY ARE NOT

Hard time during late 2010s losing his parents.... That died in 2017.

Love Johnny Knoxville love Jackass forever

Rest In Peace to Knoxville’s parents❤️

I Knoxville. Seems like the best most genuine and caring person. Bam is a big cry baby who needs to get his shit together. He’s lost wives and friends. When the problem looks like it’s everyone else’s fault it’s time to look in the mirror. Good for Knoxville for kicking him off. Knoxville always was the one with the brains. Love that dude.

*Hey! I met Johnny jogging on the trail of the Hollywood Hills in 2011 right before me & the boys slid down the hill from the top on our shoes ass bounc'in off the ground all the way to the bottom...*
