Bam Margera is making a comeback in the gaming world as the “secret skater” in the newly released video game remake “Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4.” However, despite his return to the spotlight, the former “Jackass” star is adamant about not revisiting his past with the iconic stunt and prank show.
In a recent interview with CinemaBlend, Margera expressed his reluctance to reunite with the “Jackass” crew, citing past issues with the production team. He revealed that he had been forced to undergo treatment and was then left out of a movie, resulting in a legal battle. The experience left a bitter taste in his mouth, making him uninterested in any future collaborations with the franchise.
Margera’s legal troubles with Paramount, Johnny Knoxville, and Spike Jonze further strained his relationship with the “Jackass” team. He filed a lawsuit in 2021 after being fired from the series revival feature “Jackass Forever” for testing positive for Adderall, a medication he had been prescribed for years. A settlement was eventually reached in 2022, but the damage had already been done to their professional relationship.
Despite Knoxville’s wishes for Margera’s well-being, the former co-star remains firm in his decision to distance himself from the “Jackass” brand. He also dismissed the idea of reviving his MTV reality series “Viva La Bam,” explaining that the show had run its course and that his life had moved on from those wild antics.
As Margera focuses on his gaming endeavors, fans can now enjoy playing as him in “Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4,” available on various gaming platforms. While his past may be filled with controversy and conflict, Margera is looking towards the future and carving out a new path for himself in the entertainment industry.
