Bam Margera has ruled out a return to Jackass saying,”you couldn’t offer me enough money”.
Margera sued Paramount, Jackass leader Johnny Knoxville and director Spike Jonze in 2021, following his dismissal from the film over an alleged positive drug test.
An original suit saw him claim that the firing was a violation of his civil rights and alleged that it broke the terms of his contract.
The lawsuit alleged that Margera had been “coerced” into signing the agreement and that he had been taking Adderall as a prescription for a decade. A settlement was reached in 2022.
The principal subject of the lawsuit filed by Margera concerned a “wellness agreement” that he signed back in 2019 prior to the start of production on Jackass Forever. According to CinemaBlend, the document was a condition for his involvement in the film, and obligated Margera to complete a minimum 90 day stint in a treatment centre for substance abuse issues and remain sober, only taking medications “approved by the medical staff of the treatment center.”
Now speaking in a new interview with CinemaBlend, Margera said: “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. You couldn’t offer me enough money to want to do another Jackass with them. The damage has been done.”
Representatives for Jackass are yet to respond to his comments publicly.
At the end of 2023, Margera revealed he’d been sober for 120 days thanks to the help of actor Mark Wahlberg.
Elsewhere, earlier this year it appeared that he wouldn’t be making a return to the remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4.
But his inclusion as the “secret skater” in the video game remake, has since been confirmed via Variety.
Hawk also recently teamed up with Jackass star Steve-O for a new skating show.
The pair are helming Sk8 or Die: The Lee Ralph Story, a new scripted series telling the life story of the New Zealand skateboarder who reached the top of his game in the 1980s before suddenly vanishing from the scene.
