Steve-O wanted to shoot a bullet through his face as a stunt but had to cancel: 'The worst idea'

'Jackass' alum Steve-O reveals he wanted to fire a bullet through his cheeks for a stunt but had to cancel for safety reasons. 'The worst idea,' he tells Entertainment Weekly.

However, the comedian learned his planned stunt was actually severely life-threatening because the bullet wouldn't pass through his cheeks in a straight line as he intended. He's not surprised that multiple ideas for his new tour (launching Oct. 4) didn't pan out for different reasons, because he's trying to "push boundaries" on an already "absurd" career at 50 years old. In 2022, Johnny Knoxville opened up to EW about how Jackass Forever marked the end of him doing any more life-threatening stunts, because he physically couldn't risk getting another concussion.
