Jackass 3-D’s Dry Set
Jackass star Steve-O gets by with a little help from his friends on the set in order to stay sober and healthy.
The stars of Jackass have been known to pull some downright irresponsible stunts, but they were the picture of sobriety on the set of their most recent movie. Jackass 3D star Johnny Knoxville reportedly banned the cast from drinking while working in order to show support for co-star Steve-O, a recovering alcoholic.
Steve-O’s Alcohol Recovery
Born Stephen Glover, Steve-O has now been sober for two-and-a-half years, following a lengthy struggle with addiction. Steve-O’s substance abuse issues were made public during a taped intervention with addiction specialist and MTV staple Dr. Drew Pinsky. Steve-O went into treatment in 2008 following an intervention staged by Knoxville and Pinsky. It was a rare serious moment among the longtime friends who are usually known for their goofy stunts and crazy pranks. When the crew reconvened in January 2010, Knoxville made sure the set was alcohol free so Steve-O would have the support needed to stay sober.
The crew didn’t go so far as to all refrain from partying during the filming process, but any imbibing was done off the set and out of view of Steve-O.
It’s a start.
