Johnny Knoxville is the shocking celebrity of television and film, who gained fame for her crazy and sometimes dangerous tricks and tricks on the screens. Now he is a first-class comedian, producer and screenwriter, but he gained worldwide popularity after the release of the series “Freaks” (English Jackass) on MTV in 2000. There, a group of young people act out each other, sometimes hurting the participants of the show.
How it all began
The actor was invited to the project “Eccentrics” as the main character. He was also entrusted with the script of the series, together with his comrades, he came up with tricks and performances. All artists performed under their own names, among them were eminent skateboarders, snowboarders and stuntmen. The debut release received staggeringly high ratings from viewers who tried to repeat the frenzy themselves. Fans eagerly awaited the continuation of the absurd and wild tricks of the guys who fell in love with a decent "army" of a youth audience. So, within two years, three seasons of the show are released, after which several similar programs are born, where Johnny Knoxville's companions became the main characters. Most of the artists of this project received a ticket to the big world of cinema, and our hero was invited to play in films of global significance.
Actor career
So, our hero is gradually increasing the number of offers from eminent film companies. The filmography of Johnny Knoxville has about 40 paintings, in which the artist appears before the audience in comic images. In 2002, he appears on a secondary plan in the Hollywood blockbuster Men in Black 2, which brings American incredible fame on a global scale.

The company of extreme people that fell in love with the audience is once again gathering to realize ideas in reality. In each new episode of the full-length show, the guys performed increasingly unbearable antics with themselves and partners on the set. The participants did not spare anyone in the videos.
