Famed stunt performer and daredevil Steve-O may be 50 years old these days but he’s still as juvenile as ever, as evidenced by the latest prank he plans on pulling: getting a breast augmentation.
According to Steve-O — real name Stephen Gilchrist Glover — he’s met with medical professionals about getting a boob job. Why? For the sake of the bit, that’s why.
“I came up with the idea a few years ago to get a boob job and just film a bunch of legitimately funny hidden camera pranks with me in disguise, in various disguises, and then revealing who I actually am, and just funny endurance stunts and whatever,” the 50-year-old Jackass veteran said on a recent episode of the X5 Podcast.
The surgery won’t be permanent, however, as Steve-O says that he’ll only keep the silicone in for a month or two tops.
“I spoke with the doctors, and I said to them candidly, ‘The one thing I’m really freaked out about and bummed out about and would back out of this over is if I’m just gonna be a mess afterwards,'” Steve-O said. “You know, it’s going under the muscle, and the doctors are completely unfazed, like, ‘Two months, it comes out, absolutely no issue.'”
Putting his body through extremes is certainly nothing new to Steve-O as that’s how he made a name for himself as one of the most committed members of the Jackass crew (granted, many of Steve-O’s most shocking stunts — putting a fish hook through his cheek, swallowing goldfish, chugging beer through his butt, etc.).
Having been sober since 2008, however, Steve-O is in a much better place than he was those days but is still as daring as ever.
Steve-O has been performing his own stunts outside of the umbrella of Jackass in recent years, such as strapping himself to a Los Angeles billboard in 2020 and doing a “skyjacking” stunt, which is… well, I’m sure you can put it together.
