Johnny Knoxville Admits Parenthood 'Terrified' Him at First: 'I Was Frozen' (Exclusive)


Johnny Knoxville tells PEOPLE that he hadn't "ever had that much fear in my life" when he learned that he was becoming a father for the first time, but his perspective changed once he held his daughter.

Johnny Knoxville has taken part in some of the most outlandish stunts in pop culture history throughout his decades-long career, but nothing "terrified" him more than learning he was becoming a dad for the first time. Knoxville highlights that "the cycle of things that runs through your head when you get frightened over something" was a major contributing factor to his early worries about raising a child of his own. Knoxville, whose new film Sweet Dreams and podcast Pretty Sure I Can Fly with Elena Baker are both out now, is also a parent to son Rocko and another daughter named Arlo.
