- Hollywood star
Johnny Knoxville
and his
Jackass: Number Two
costars took out insurance for $7 million because they were so sure they'd die on set.
Knoxville
, along with costars
Bam Margera
and
Steve-O
, admit their new movie stunts are the most dangerous to date and pleaded with the studio to pay out millions in case they died in the daredevil pranks.
Knoxville
says, "I came close to dying a few times. When the rocket exploded in one stunt--there was, like, a foot-long metal rod that went right out next to my side. It was close!"
Director
Jeff Tremaine
says, "The casings for the rockets came shooting out the back and side. It could have gone right through him, it just missed! When we watched the footage afterwards, just frame by frame, it is very close.
Tremaine
adds, "The studio is like, ‘Well what do you need $7 million for?’ And I'm like, well, you've got to insure these guys! You know. The tapes cost $7. The cameras are about $2,000. After that, it's all insurance!"
