Bam Margera breaks silence on his relationship with the ‘Jackass’ crew

One thing is clear: despite the new agreement, there will be no new stunts from Bam Margera.

The actor spills the tea on his stance with fellow actor and stuntman Johnny Knoxville after agreeing to join the new “Jackass” project.

Bam Margera struggled with addiction and substance abuse, which led to him being cut from the last film. Upon his return to the franchise, while remaining skeptical, he agreed to have his stunt clips featured in the film.

With the new movie “Jackass” in the works, fans are waiting with heightened expectations to see new stunts from the actor. Margera clarified things by saying that he would not be filming any new content for the film.

Apparently her fight with Knoxville and producer Jeff Tremaine didn’t entirely go underwater. As it was revealed, the trio had to agree before Margera joined the new project, but apparently he’s still pissed.

While speaking with TMZ at the Dream Hotel in Hollywood, the actor clarified that his appearance would be limited to old content that never saw the light of day and would not involve him in filming new content.

Margera and Knoxville’s beef stemmed from Margera’s firing from “Jackass Forever,” in violation of a drug-related welfare agreement. This then escalated into a public feud and a breakdown in their relationship for some time.

Margera sued Knoxville, Paramount and others for wrongful termination, even though he had violated the contract, but later dropped the suit. He also criticized Knoxville and the “Jackass” team on social media and in interviews, saying he was mistreated, sometimes challenging Knoxville to a fight.

Knoxville pushed back, stating he didn’t want the drama but wanted his co-star’s recovery. Stuntman Steve-O, who is also a part of the franchise, has expressed his desire for all the “brothers to get back together.”

Margera has been behind bars for violating his probation among other charges. He was released from prison in September 2024 and it was revealed that he would enter a short-term program at the Recovery Centers of America for Inpatient Treatment.

He went straight from prison to the recovery center, which allowed his probation case to be closed quickly. The Blast noted that his attorney revealed that he stayed on track for a year or more and passed all of his drug tests at the time.

His alcoholism and drug addiction became very serious as he almost lost the use of his legs due to the drug addiction. As a skateboarder, this greatly affected his career and overall lifestyle.

Margera’s 2024 has been quite eventful as he has had several run-ins with the law. Amid all his challenges, he got together with his ex, Nicole Boyd, for custody of his son Phoenix.

As The Blast shared, the court ruled in her favor because the estranged couple was never married under US laws. They had a ceremony in Iceland, but never obtained a marriage license in America.

The bitter custody battle ended in her favor, although Boyd expressed her intention to appeal the court’s decision. Currently, the couple co-parent with Phoenix, who mostly stays with her mother.
