MovieMango grabbed Jackass 3D star Bam Margera to tell us about the movie and when he is going to die…
MM: Tell us about the new movie
Bam: In a nutshell, it’s a lot of poo poo, pee pee and throw up going right in your face in 3D. Honestly, I’ve seen it over 30 times now and I just wanna keep watching it. It’s the best one yet, definitely.
MM: What does the 3D element add to Jackass?
Bam: We thought of ideas that can relate to 3D such as, like, you know, the Heli-cockter, which is a remote control helicopter tied to Pontius’ dick. And beehive tetherball which is a bunch of bees that are flying all over. It looks cool in 3D.
MM: Do you think people really want to see your penis flying at them in 3D?
Bam: It’s not mine. It would take, like, four of mine to equal one of Pontius’, so Pontius uses his dick a lot more than me.
MM: In your own words, what is a Jackass?
Bam: The best way I can describe it is “certified dipshit”. I’m stupid; I can’t help it, I can’t fix it.
MM: Did you have any idea how huge Jackass would be?
Bam: I actually had a gut feeling about it because when I did CKY, I showed it to my uncles who are auto mechanics. I made it for skateboarders only, but they don’t know anything about skating and they’re laughing their asses off so I’m like, maybe other people like it beside skateboarders, you know.
- Bam Margera would be lucky to make it to 40, apparently
MM: Do you get lots of concerned parents telling you off in the street?
Bam: You know what, it’s actually more kids being like, “holy shit, you’re from Jackass, can you kick me in the nuts or smack me in the face?!” And of course I do it…
MM: If you are at the supermarket, do you struggle to walk along with the trolley like a normal person or do you have to charge down the aisle Jackass-style?
Bam: Dude, I haven’t gone grocery shopping in like five years. I have my aunt do it for me. She saves all these coupons and shit. Ha, ha, ha!
MM: Any chance of a fourth movie?
Bam: We shot so much footage for the first one that 3.5 is already finished. And it’s fucking really funny bits. I mean, you can’t have a three-hour-long movie so they picked the very best and put it in 3, but 3.5 is completely done already. Straight to DVD in January.
MM: Can you see yourself doing this kind of stuff when you’re 60?
Bam: You think I’m gonna make it to 60?! Ha.
MM: You can’t see it happening?
Bam: Fuck no. I don’t know how it’s all gonna end but it’s not gonna be anywhere near 60. I reckon 40. And I’m fine with that. You never know…
