After a traumatic brain injury on 'Jackass Forever' gave Johnny Knoxville problems for 6 months, the actor is reconsidering future 'Jackass' movies and admits he got 'addicted' to dangerous stunts.
Knoxville admitted to getting "addicted" to stunt work, but is reconsidering future "Jackass" movies for the sake of his kids.Knoxville explained that "it was a traumatic brain injury with a concussion, brain hemorrhage, and I broke my wrist and ribs. Then the neurologist was like, 'You can't have another concussion.'" The infamous daredevil told his kids, "'Look, Dad's not gonna do that anymore.
When asked what truly makes him happy, however, his answer was much simpler. "Being at home with my kids and dog and hanging out with my girlfriend. And, like, when my daughter asks me to go in the backyard and hit volleyball with her, when my son asks me, 'Will you throw with me, Dad? Rosenbaum noticed that Knoxville "got a little emotional" from that answer. He agreed, saying "that's another thing about me. I'm becoming so sensitive. I've cried, like, three times on," his new podcast with Elna Baker. "It's like s---, man," he said, elaborating on the danger of his stunt work, "if you take if you keep taking chances, you only have so many chances you can take.
He told Rosenbaum that you "can't walk into a stunt being frightened of death," because "if you go into a stunt and you don't commit, it's really gonna be bad."
