4 Jul
Summary
- Steve-O used cocaine before the Tropical Pole Vaulting stunt.
- He and Chris Pontius took excessive mushrooms in Japan.
- Steve-O sobered up before Jackass 3D and faced cattle prods.

Steve-O is reflecting on the most memorable and dangerous stunts from the Jackass franchise for a new video interview.
He confessed to significant drug use during early filming, including cocaine prior to the 'Tropical Pole Vaulting' stunt in the original Jackass: The Movie. Steve-O also recounted an incident in Japan where he and Chris Pontius consumed a large quantity of psilocybin mushrooms after discovering they were legal.
Following a period of sobriety between the second and third Jackass films, Steve-O approached stunts differently. He discussed the 'Electric Avenue' stunt in Jackass 3D, which involved navigating a hallway filled with cattle prods, highlighting his commitment to his word despite his reluctance.
