Steve-O On What His Relationship With Bam Margera Is Like Post Jackass Lawsuit

The Jackass gang has practically constantly apparently been tight — and they’d practically need to be to be, provided what they do. They’ve caused such disastrous tricks on each other (and themselves) going back to the initial program, which ran in the early 2000s. Of course, that group dynamic might have altered amidst production on Jackass Forever. Ahead of the motion picture’s best, Bam Margera filed a lawsuit versus a few of his partners, on the premises that he was unreasonably dismissed from the motion picture. Now that the lawsuit drama has settled down, Steve-O is opening up about his relationship with Margera.

Bam Margera has actually been going through a lot these last couple of years, particularly with his addiction struggles and rehab stints making headings since late. This is something that Stephen “Steve-O” Glover has actually experience with, though he has now been sober for well over a years. That commitment to keeping sobriety even triggered Glover to pass up any discomfort medication for the many serious injuries he’s sustained in his stuntman profession. Margera also went without pain meds when sustaining a skateboarding injury just recently for the exact same factor.

The Jackass alums’ long history and comparable battles would naturally develop a tight bond been them. And that’s is something that turned up when Stephen Glover spoke to People while promoting his brand-new book, A Hard Kick in the Nuts: What I’ve Learned From a Lifetime of Terrible Decisions. During the discussion, Glover attended to the apparently controversial suit and specified that in spite of that, he and has old friend are still on excellent terms:

Bam Margera and Steve-O have actually been collaborating and getting their asses kicked together for around twenty years now, so they’ve certainly been through a lot. Even though things might have appeared a little rocky in between them more just recently, that’s a bond that obviously can’t be broken. For Steve-O, that obviously chooses all of the Jackass team, too.

During the exact same interview, he went on to describe that the cast is reasonably drama-free, in spite of the suit and his short-lived feud Johnny Knoxville. Of course, the only exception there would be Bam Margera. Here’s what the author and stuntman states about his pals, precisely:

So despite the fact that Bam Margera might be the “outlier” nowadays, that doesn’t appear to have actually impacted the quantity of love his long time friend has for him. Their relationship seems one that has actually lasted through thick and thin up until now and might even more endure any type of trial or adversity, consisting of a suit.

As for Steve-O, he appears to be savoring his expert and individual lives. Aside from having dropped his just recently brand-new book, he’s likewise in the middle of his own individual stunt trip. The “Bucket List” trip sees him taking a trip the nation and carrying out stunts that even Jackass wouldn’t permit him to do. (I do not understand whether to be delighted or anxious.) While it appears like he’s doing things solo in the meantime, one can still hope that he and Bam Margera discover a method to team up on some type of task down the roadway.
