With the exception of celebrity cameos, the cast has mostly stayed the same. So, what was it like for the new kids on the block? What do they need to make the cut into the “Jackass” franchise?
“Well, they have to have some guts, some willingness and have to be funny. They have to have a sweetness to them too,” said Knoxville.
Tremaine chimed in to let us know that sweetness, Knoxville is looking for is actually a different personality trait. “You are looking for gullibility,” said Tremaine. Whatever they are looking for they found it in the new cast members because they fit right in.
Along with a new cast comes new stunts. After 20 plus years how do they come up with new and fresh ideas for the stunts?
“Man I don’t know. Maybe I spend too much time watching cartoons. Jeff and I just kick ideas back and forth off each other and somehow managed to come up with a film,” said Knoxville.
