The Jackass star recently opened up about the franchise’s deep-rooted connection with the LGBTQ+ community, and honey, he’s not holding back. “Jackass is really gay, you know?” he declared, and we couldn’t agree more.
As the franchise gears up for its fifth and final film, aptly titled Best and Last, Knoxville is more than just a little excited about the upcoming float in the West Hollywood Pride Parade. “I feel like we’ve arrived, and we’re all thrilled about it,” he said, practically gushing with joy. And who wouldn’t be? A float with the Jackass crew at Pride is a match made in heaven, or at least in the wild world of outrageous stunts and unapologetic fun.
In a candid interview with Esquire, Knoxville elaborated on the essence of positive masculinity that resonates with fans, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community. “It’s just kind of funnier if you’re naked,” he quipped, hinting at the playful spirit that has defined the franchise since its inception. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good naked prank?
But it’s not just Knoxville who’s celebrating this connection. Rachel Wolfson, one of the newer members of the Jackass family, took to X to express her pride in the show’s queer following, stating, “Jackass has and will always be gay.” Talk about solidarity!
As Knoxville prepares for the parade, he’s got his fashion game on point. “I was picking out outfits today. I will be cute. Probably [wear] something nautical,” he shared, with a wink. With his wife being a costume designer, we can only imagine the fabulousness that’s about to hit the streets of West Hollywood.
So, as Knoxville and the Jackass crew gear up to strut their stuff at Pride, we can’t help but feel a wave of excitement. It’s a celebration of love, laughter, and the beautiful chaos that comes with being unapologetically yourself. Here’s to Knoxville, the Jackass team, and the LGBTQ+ community—may your float be as wild as your spirit!
