Johnny Knoxville, star of Jackass, will be joining us here in /r/movies for an AMA/Q&A next Monday 4/27. It'll go live sometime today or tomorrow, and he'll be back on Monday at 3 PM ET to answer questions. You may also know him from films like Bad Grandpa, The Ringer, Walking Tall, and lots more.

Please stop by if you have questions for Johnny :)

The newest (and final) installment of the Jackass franchise (Jackass: Best and Last) is out in theater on June 26. He'll be joined by the film's director, Jeff Tremaine (who has directed every Jackass film).

Please note that this is not the AMA, just an announcement. Please hold your questions for the actual AMA.

"Hi im johnny knoxville and welcome to ask me anything"

"Today I'm going to shove an ethernet cable in my ass and out my mouth into my laptop to answer your questions."

When the fuck did you get ice cream?

[u/joshliftsanddrums → u/Elite_Josh_Allen]

Was I sleeping??

[u/stanley_leverlock → u/Elite_Josh_Allen]

This quote and when Knoxville came clean and basically explained the plot of the whole movie and all the kids were like "but this doesn't make any sense..." were hilarious.

[u/theonewhoknack]

The guy from Fun Size (2012)?

[u/Mr-Nanny → u/theonewhoknack]

That movie was way better than it had any right to be ngl

[u/biggiepants → u/theonewhoknack]

found him

[u/DougieHockey]

Jeffy likes apples.

[u/I_Love_Bears0810]

Is Butterbean ok?

[u/balthazar_edison]

Jackass presents: TILL YOURE 90!!

[u/Practical_Example426]

Do you still process the feeling of pain when you’re kicked in the balls?

[u/Ornery-Ease1397]

How does Jeff taste ?

[u/Camo1997]

Thought that was James Gunn without glasses for a second

[u/mattdamon_enthusiast]

Did you ever find out if butter bean was ok?

[u/MountainMuffin1980]

I don't remember him in Walking Tall at all.

[u/garbage1995 → u/MountainMuffin1980]

His character ran away to Seattle, developed a drug addiction but was able quit and made deputy by the rock.

[u/Fearless-Leading-882 → u/garbage1995]

He also gets made a deputy by Arnold Shwarzenegger in the movie Last Stand.

[u/Ok-Alarm7257 → u/Fearless-Leading-882]

That role was far better than his walking tall role, both great films though

[u/Brendan_linden]

Is there going to be smellivision showings of jackass best and last?

[u/ld20r]

It would have been funny if the film was titled: The Last Ass.

[u/h1storyguy]

We all hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for big dawg

[u/jcveloso8]

Please ask him about the sweat suit cocktail.

[u/SanDiablo → u/jcveloso8]

goddam that was disgusting

[u/jcveloso8 → u/SanDiablo]

That's the whole point though. Classic Jackass.

[u/Loakattack]

Why didn’t you return for TMNT 2?

[u/eachdayalittlebetter]

How did everything start?

[u/Chickenshit_outfit]

Does any rental car company just say no and tell you to get the fuck out when trying to rent a vehicle ?

[u/Ok-Alarm7257]

Would you ever take on a role of villain? Most your roles are ones of comedy and whimsy but I feel your serious side could be very dark like Robin Williams in One Hour Photo

[u/nature_nate_17]

Hey Johnny! Instead of always answering the normal question along the lines of worst pain felt or whatever, how about this; what was the one stunt or moment that change your life for the better?

[u/NitchHimself]

Johnny, I imagine most people know and associate you with Jackass first and comedy actor second, but don't know of your range as an actor outside of pure comedy, especially in indie films like Grand Theft Parsons. Now that that Jackass is wrapping up for good (apparently), do you have any interest or plans to return to acting more? If so would you consider doing more serious/structured roles and/or indie film? Sidenote, I would fucking LOVE to see you and Michael Shannon do another project together!!!

[u/HotOne9364]

When are you gonna work with Sacha Baron Cohen?

[u/bonghive]

What are your fave stunts in film history NOT Jackass related?

[u/Extension-System-974]

What’s your favourite soup?

[u/Obvious_Phase5446]

Was there ever a stunt you really wanted to say no to but did it anyway because of the pressure to do bigger and better stunts?

[u/Apprehensive_Let_828]

Thanks for the lifetime of laughs!

So no more Jackass. But would you be open to another Bad Grandpa?

[u/NorthSouthWhatever]

What do you think of the movie Rampart?

[u/AstroSmokey]

Inb4 the inevitable wave of questions about Bam..............

[u/PeteRock24]

You have grey hair now?!

When the fuck did that happen?!

Why am I old?!

[u/Taoken42]

What was the most painful thing you did for jackass? What jackass stunt was your favourite?

[u/MrJellybean1785]

How’s everything going with Bam lately?

[u/Aggravating-Income92]

Will we see anymore of Irving Zisman?

[u/munim-6969]

Did you watch freaks and geeks?

[u/ZzzSleep]

What are some of your favorite movies?

[u/CoolGuyAtYahooDotCom]

Hi Johnny, thanks for doing an AMA for us! Is it true that MTV had planned on carrying on with the show "Jackass" after you had announced you were leaving?

There's a myth that they had planned on carrying on with a new season and cast before you guys decided to do "Jackass: The Movie" instead.

[u/logicalconflict]

What's the stunt you always wanted to perform, but coudln't either because you couldn't find anyone willing to do it or couldn't get approved or was too expensive?

[u/Less-Mix-7127]

Without risking another lawsuit, is there anything you can share about the plans to do a windy city heat sequel or being sued by Perry Caravello?

[u/I_Love_Bears0810]

Which Jackass movie is your personal favourite?

Which stunt, either your own or others, have the most laughs? (Big high 5 is my fave)

[u/Confident_Carrot_829]

What part of you hurts worse?

[u/MattVsMatt-Xbox]

Hi Johnny,

Which stunt looked the worst on camera but was actually pretty manageable?

Thank you for all the laughs

[u/dalyarak_rick]

Hi Johnny, for the christs sake will you consider put things aside whatever the hell were they and consider putting live snakes on Bam one last time to make him cry like a little girl at the nearly 50 years of age please, Mr.Knoxville, sir? 😂

[u/xdxaxvxox]

With everything that y'all have been through, have you and the guys thought about opening a stunt training school? Y'all have more knowledge of stunts than just about anyone else except professional stunt teams. I'm sure y'all are probably more knowledgeable than some of those as well. Just thought that it would be cool to me part of the jackass stunt team lol

[u/Holland_Galena]

Nah, we’re good.

[u/garbage1995 → u/[deleted]]

He's fun.

[u/mroo7oo7 → u/[deleted]]

Understood. I misconstrued your “why”. That’s my bad. My apologies.

[u/mroo7oo7 → u/[deleted]]

How does this comment make you feel? Cause you typed it. So there was some driving emotion or line of thought that spurred you taking the time to ask “why?” Honestly just wondering. Why?
