Bam Margera is not interested in a Jackass reunion.
While speaking with Rolling Stone, Margera, who says he’s currently sober after years of substance abuse issues, said he doesn’t have bad blood with most of the crew, but does have a bone to pick with Johnny Knoxville and director Jeff Tremaine.

“I’ll definitely check out the movie, and I hope it’s good, but as far as a reunion, it’s not going to happen, not in 10 million years,” says Margera “I don’t have any bad blood with the cast of Jackass,” he continues.“It’s just the decisions that Johnny Knoxville and [Jackass director] Jeff Tremaine decided to make. I never want to see them ever again in my life. Enough is enough.”
Margera’s beef stems from when he got fired from Jackass Forever in 2020, when he was accused of taking unprescribed amphetamines which violated a sobriety agreement he had signed for the movie.
“To tell somebody that after doing all that, thinking that you’re going to get $5 million, then say you’re not in the movie, and you’re not getting $5 million — I mean, I watched Dateline, and people kill other people for a whole lot less,” says Margera. “I was very f–king angry.”
Margera would later sue Paramount and Knoxville which ended up getting settled out of court.
Knoxville spoke about Margera during an interview in the lead-up to the new Jackass: Best and Last movie.
“I hear he’s doing a lot better, and that makes me happy, because we’ve been through so much together, and I love him, and I’m happy that he’s doing well.”
@rollingstone @Johnny Knoxville speaks emotionally about Bam Margera, who was fired during the filming of Jackass Forever for violating a clause in his contract around drug use. “I hear he’s doing a lot better and that makes me happy, because we’ve been through so much together and I love him. I’m happy he’s doing well.” #johnnyknoxville #Bammargera #jackass #jackass5 #Jackassforever
