In the early 2000s, Johnny Knoxville became a household name and dominated our TV screens after co-creating and starring in MTV’s Jackass. The show had a big enough fan base that Knoxville and his co-stars appeared in the Jackass films.

Much of Knoxville’s established net worth comes from his movie, comedy, and stunt careers. Knoxville recently revealed that he feels “addicted” to pain, which is part of the reason he started performing dangerous stunts. However, after a serious accident while filming his upcoming release, Action Point, he admitted that he might need to rethink doing dangerous stunts himself.

Born Philip John Clapp Jr. in Knoxville, Tennessee on March 11, 1971, making his age 47. Knoxville’s interest in acting arose when his cousin gave him a copy of On the Road by Jack Kerouac. So, to try his luck, Knoxville moved to California after graduating from high school.
