How Jackass Star Steve-O Avoided Getting Arrested While Filming His New Special [Exclusive]

One of the sketches featured in “Bucket List” is the very self-explanatory “Dick Painting.” And despite the fact Steve-O does everything from going horseback riding after getting a vasectomy to recreationally receiving an epidural, he tells Smith that “there’s zero question” that “Dick Painting” was the most stressful thing to shoot for the special. In order to avoid getting slapped by the police (and avoid accidentally exposing himself to minors), his production team had to go above and beyond with preparation. As Steve-O explains:

“What we did was we had a towel, a robe, whatever it was, and we just sprung me on people, and then covered me up. We did our damnedest to isolate areas with no kids. We had people on a perimeter looking for kids and stuff. Yeah, it was f***ing stressful, man.”

Filming for “Bucket List” actually began before “Jackass Forever,” but the two pieces share a similar, as he describes it, “Hurry up and get this done while I can” energy. When he was a youngster running around half-naked on the first season of “Jackass,” there was a silly, bro-ish energy to it all. Now? He’s over the hill and refusing to let it stop him. “I’ve got to hurry up before it becomes creepy to watch,” he jokes. “The next one, I’m planning on just leaning into the creepy.”

“Bucket List” is available to rent on Moment through Steve-O’s official Patreon.
