Do not be fooled by his gray hair, as actor and human crash test dummy Johnny Knoxville still believes the Jackass crew may have one last painful dance in them, stating that Jackass Forever is not necessarily the final movie they’ll make.

Jackass Forever released in February and went on to collect $80.3 million on a $10 million budget, making yet another profitable comedy outing for Knoxville and the rest of Jackass' stuntmen, although the title and the cast’s own aging bodies had all but hinted at that it would the franchise’s final installment. While the movie was followed up by Jackass 4.5 to stick with the usual tradition of releasing previously cut stunts, Paramount Plus is also working on a Jackass series of its own.

Still, in an interview with Variety, Knoxville clarified the idea that Jackass Forever would be the last movie was never something any crew member actually said. Instead, Knoxville says it’s something "That got written somewhere and people ran with it," although he admits any future sequel would see the older cast take a step back. Knoxville admitted he had even bigger stunts planned for Jackass Forever but ultimately had to dial it down a bit after suffering a serious injury in the film when he was knocked out by a bull during a stunt.

Knoxville said his neurologist prescribed him to stay away from concussions, so if there’s more Jackass in the future, the new and younger cast members would have to carry out the more dangerous stunts that he and his friends can no longer perform. He also touched upon the Bam Margera controversy, who was pushed out of Jackass Forever due to alcohol abuse issues. Knoxville claims that even if they haven’t talked for the last year and a half, “I only want him to get better.”

Margera did file a lawsuit over alleged wrongful termination against Knoxville, director Jeff Tremaine, and Paramount Pictures, though he and his attorneys eventually dropped the case in April, and Knoxville is open to discussing his return in the future. Knoxville is currently working on Hulu's Reboot, a show from Modern Family creator Steven Levitan, but with Jackass Forever being such a hit, it’s too soon to rule out another painful chapter in his career.

Jackass has submitted Knoxville to painful stunts ever since the franchise’s MTV days, but it’s also what made him famous since Jackass ended up becoming a quintessential part of the 2000s pop culture.

Jackass Forever is currently available on Paramount Plus.
