Overview

  • Margera told CinemaBlend that no amount of money could persuade him to rejoin Jackass after producers forced him into treatment and then excluded him from Jackass Forever.
  • He dismissed the idea of reviving his MTV spin-off Viva la Bam as outdated, saying it would feel unnatural to recreate home-based pranks decades later.
  • His 2021 wrongful termination lawsuit against Paramount, Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze and others over a coerced wellness agreement and daily drug testing was settled in 2022.
  • Margera is now promoting his role as the “secret skater” in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4 video game remake, marking his first major project since leaving the franchise.
  • He described the personal and professional fallout as irreversible, underscoring a permanent break with longtime collaborators Johnny Knoxville, Jeff Tremaine and Spike Jonze.
