\n\tFollowing reports of his return to the Jackass<\/a> franchise, Bam Margera<\/a> has clarified that the new movie will only feature archival footage of him.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked about co-creators Jeff Tremaine and Johnny Knoxville<\/a>, the veteran skater said his \u201cfeelings toward them are still \u2018f*ck you’\u201d after going through \u201ctwo years of hell\u201d just to be fired from 2022\u2019s Jackass Forever.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m just too hurt by it, and I already accepted the fact that I don\u2019t want anything to do with it anymore,\u201d he told TMZ<\/a>. \u201cAnd only time will tell, but right now at this time, I don\u2019t wanna do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMargera added, \u201cI was very angry, and now I\u2019m not angry, I\u2019m just hurt. And as of now, I don\u2019t even want to think about reuniting with anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Viva La Bam star recalled \u201cspending my own money at an alarming rate for therapists, doctors and treatment, all this, only to sit me down and tell me, You\u2019re not in the movie and you\u2019re not getting $5 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI watch Dateline, and people kill other people for a whole lot less,\u201d added Margera. \u201cSo, I have a lot of PTSD from it all. And just having the title now of \u2018ex-Jackass star Bam Margera\u2019, I have to live with that. The humiliation, the abandonment and just embarrassment of it all, I had to let it go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite the strong words, Margera noted that he will appear in the upcoming film that is set to release this summer<\/a>, via footage filmed for Jackass Forever.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBut they did ask me\u2014they said, \u2018We\u2019re gonna sift through a lot of old footage to try to create something new.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Hell yeah, go for it.\u2019 Because I remember filming so much funny sh*t that never made it into the movie, simply because it probably would be too long or it\u2019s just too gnarly. So, I said, \u2018Have at it.\u2019 As far as I know, I don\u2019t have to film anything new, and I don\u2019t want to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked if he will ever return to stunt performance, Margera said he is now focused on his family and \u201cvery happy skateboarding again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter appearing on Jackass for its initial run from 2000 to 2001, Margera continued to serve as a key part of the ensemble in multiple films and TV specials that spun off from the MTV stunt show, including a brief appearance in Jackass Forever.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2022, Margera asked a judge to dismiss his wrongful termination suit<\/a> against Paramount Pictures, following his allegations that the studio coerced him into signing a contract while he was in a rehabilitation facility, before requiring him to complete multiple daily drug tests and take a cocktail of drugs prescribed by Paramount\u2019s medical team \u201cthat left him physically and mentally drained, depressed, and a shell of his former self.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s unclear if a settlement was reached between Margera and Paramount. In addition to Knoxville, the lawsuit also named MTV, Jeffrey Tremaine, Spike Jonze, Dickhouse Entertainment and Gorilla Flicks, among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following reports of his return to the Jackass franchise, Bam Margera has clarified that the new movie will…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":518993,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[231199,185,171,231200,204431,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-518992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-bam-margera","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-jackass","tag-johnny-knoxville","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115901639314005880","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=518992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518992\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/518993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=518992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=518992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=518992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
