\n\tNearly 25 years after its MTV<\/a> debut, Bam Margera<\/a> has no intention of returning to his Jackass<\/a> roots.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing his ousting from 2022\u2019s Jackass Forever<\/a> and ensuing lawsuit against Paramount<\/a>, the former pro skateboarder recently emphasized that he is done with Johnny Knoxville<\/a> and the rest of his co-stars.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey have like new dudes, and what they did to me, making me go to treatment and paying for it, and then not putting me in a movie, and, you know, I had to go to court over it and I just, you couldn\u2019t offer me enough money to want to do another Jackass with them,\u201d Margera told Cinemablend<\/a>. \u201cThe damage has been done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMargera also shot down any hopes of reviving his Jackass spin-off series Viva la Bam<\/a>, which ran for five seasons on MTV from 2003 to 2005.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI just feel like that type of show has completely run its course,\u201d he reasoned. \u201cLiving with my parents, and painting the whole kitchen blue, and having my mom freak out \u2013 to end something like that, and then your life moves on, you get your own house, with your own wife and you have a kid, it would be like \u2026 if we did a Viva La Bam [reboot], I would have to move back in with my parents and re-mess with \u2019em after giving them a 15-year break. It would just be weird.\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":"Nearly 25 years after its MTV debut, Bam Margera has no intention of returning to his Jackass roots.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22401,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[18468,49,48,361,75,18469,18470,18471,18472],"class_list":{"0":"post-22400","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-bam-margera","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-jackass","14":"tag-jackass-forever","15":"tag-mtv","16":"tag-viva-la-bam"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
