Johnny Knoxville Shares Personal Habits in Maria Bamford Questionnaire Ahead of Jackass Finale
In a candid interview that felt more like a confessional than a press piece, Johnny Knoxville answered 25 questions posed by comedian Maria Bamford. The answers, released just months before the final Jackass film hits theaters, peel back the layers of the stunt legend’s everyday life.
Knoxville’s first remark was a simple, almost almost‑absurd rule: he never eats before bed. "I don’t want food in my stomach while I’m trying to sleep," he explained. He said he usually drinks water, but admits to the occasional whiskey. "One glass is fine,” he said, but "the more you drink, the worse it gets for sleep.” The comment offers a glimpse of the physical discipline that underpins a career built on high‑risk antics.
When Bamford asked him to imagine founding his own religion, Knoxville sketched a tolerant faith. "I would build a religion that allows people to live without harming one another," he said. He acknowledged that tolerance has limits, noting that "pure evil or even a small amount of wrongdoing" would test the boundaries of his imaginary creed.
The question about a spokesperson product landed on Life Savers. Knoxville laughed that he dislikes sweets but can’t stop buying them. "My wife asked me for my favorite flavor because she prefers the yellow ones," he said, adding that a broken nose has dulled his sense of smell, making all flavors taste the same.
The questionnaire is part of Bamford’s broader series that has featured a range of public figures. Knoxville’s participation comes at a pivotal moment. While he still performs stunts, his focus is shifting toward a more structured media presence. He is slated to star in "Jackass: Best and Last," the franchise’s fifth and final installment, slated for theatrical release on June 26, 2026 by Paramount Pictures. The film is directed by Jeff Tremaine, who also produces it alongside Spike Jonze and Knoxville himself.
Beyond the movie, Knoxville has branched into podcasting and reality television. He will host the official Jackass podcast, "Jackass: The Podcast," with Tremaine, launching its first episode on June 18, 2026. In April, he appeared on Fox’s "Fear Factor: House of Fear," where he discussed what truly frightens him. A March interview with Rolling Stone highlighted his reflections on 25 years of stunts and the future of the Jackass brand.
These projects illustrate Knoxville’s transition from chaotic, physical comedy to a broader entertainment platform that includes scripted and unscripted content. The upcoming film, podcast, and television appearances position him to maintain relevance while exploring new creative avenues.
The questionnaire’s candid answers, combined with Knoxville’s upcoming releases, provide fans and industry observers with a clearer picture of the man behind the stunts and the directions his career may take in the coming years.
