Johnny Knoxville Says Jackass 5 is Franchise's Final Film: It's Going to be "Awful"

"It's going to be absolutely awful. Knoxville expressed difficulty saying goodbye to the prospect of future films, indicating emotional attachment to the franchise despite acknowledging this as the natural place to end the series."

"Your brain's feeding you such terrible information. People outside were telling me, 'Your brain's playing tricks on you.' I'm like, 'No, no, it's happening.' Nothing's happening. Over five or six months, my mind just fell off a cliff. But then I got on medicine, and it started turning around and I started feeling like myself again."

"He couldn't do anything on the Jackass 5 set that might have risked another concussion, demonstrating how his previous brain injury from being flipped by a bull during Jackass Forever filming has fundamentally altered his ability to participate in the franchise's signature dangerous stunts."

Johnny Knoxville has confirmed that Jackass 5 will be the last film in the franchise, describing it as the natural endpoint. The decision comes after fans expected the series to end with 2022's Jackass Forever, but the team decided to continue. Knoxville's health struggles significantly influenced this choice. During Jackass Forever filming, he suffered brain damage from a bull incident, resulting in catastrophic thinking and severe anxiety. He experienced months of mental decline before medication helped his recovery. For Jackass 5, Knoxville took precautions to avoid another concussion, recognizing the physical toll the franchise has taken on his body and mind.
