My father is my greatest influence. He would just make fun of his employees at the tire company. My body has been greatly affected by cartoons. You\u2019ve seen me do all these Wile E. Coyote gags and I\u2019ve kinda proved in \u201cJackass\u201d that you can\u2019t do in real life what you can do in cartoons. <\/p>\n
Keaton was also an influence. That gag was at the end of our film. I was actually really into Keaton when we shot it. \u201cJackass Number Two.\u201d He really had an influence on everything we\u2019ve done since then, as did Chaplin and Harold Lloyd and that entire era of silent comedy movies. <\/p>\n

My musical side is also influenced by Johnny Cash. His rendition of \u201cWe\u2019ll Meet Again\u201dIt is located in \u201cJackass Forever\u201dtrailer and you were Cash in an episode \u201cDrunk History.\u201dWhat is it that resonates so strongly with you about Cash?<\/strong><\/p>\nI actually wore Cash\u2019s boots that I got at an auction when I played him in \u201cDrunk History.\u201d I\u2019m pretty sure the first time I heard him was in my dad\u2019s truck. He played a lot Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Little Richard, and Waylon Jennings. They were his biggest musical heroes. While I was listening to anything when I was with mom, those were the artists I listened to most often while I was with my father. So I\u2019ve always had an affinity for Johnny Cash, not just because he\u2019s made such immortal music that is so truthful, but just that every time I hear him he always reminds me of my dad. <\/p>\n
The trailer’s title is \u201cForever friends, forever Jackasses.\u201d Looking back, do you think it\u2019s that strong bond you have that is the reason people still love \u201cJackass\u201dAfter all these years?<\/strong><\/p>\nOh, absolutely. Our friendship has endured and it has grown stronger as we have shared so many things together. I\u2019ve seen a bunch of other shows try all these stunts and pranks and a lot of them just don\u2019t replicate that. I think people keep coming back not just because of the crazy stunts but because everyone brings their own personality to them that\u2019s really unique to \u201cJackass.\u201d <\/p>\n
Now that you\u2019re done with stunts, are you thinking about continuing to do things with the other \u201cJackass\u201dGuys in another capacity?<\/strong><\/p>\nWe\u2019ll have to see on that. Because we had so much fun making this movie, I’m sure the guys would love to do it. But who knows? I don\u2019t know if this is the last \u201cJackass\u201dOr not. I\u2019d be stepping aside if it goes on, but maybe the new guys can start a new series of \u201cJackass\u201dThe old men could also come in for a brief appearance. It could happen, or it might not. We aren’t good planners, which is the downside to being half-assed stuntmen. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
