Johnny Knoxville Talks About “Bad Grandpa”
The show “Jackass” has a very special place in my heart. Just like so many kids who grew up in the suburbs, my brothers and I were inspired by the painful and degrading antics of Johnny Knoxville and his crew of puckish rogues. We were part of that first generation of youngsters who took to the culdesacs and playgrounds of their youth and threw themselves off monkey bars, hit each other in the face with wiffle ball bats and intentionally ran their skateboards into trees and community pools all over the U.S.
Essentially, it was because of kids like us that they had to start putting that “don’t try this at home” message at the beginning of each episode.
For my own part, I was about eight when I first started watching the show and my brothers, tasked with shielding me from self-harm during the summer, only let me watch as they brutalized their bodies on video.

"Jackson would just follow me on the set and verbally assault me while hitting me in the zipper," Knoxville recalls. "I was just shaking my head thinking that this kid is a piece of work. He's unbelievable. I think he was sent from heaven."
Wherever Nicoll was sent from, Knoxville, 42, enlisted the young actor as the perfect sidekick for his year-old character Irving Zisman in Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (out Oct. 25). Nicoll stars as the equally outrageous 8-year-old Grandson Billy in the first feature film centered around the trash-talking octogenarian (Knoxville in extensive prosthetics and make-up) who has made near riot-inciting appearances th
