Jackass | The Dark Side of Fame | Tragic Life Behind The Scenes

When the TV series “Jackass” debuted on MTV, no one had ever seen
anything else quite like it. Here was a group of friends and
quasi-stuntmen who seemed willing to do anything for a laugh. It
was crude, it was juvenile, and it was also insanely popular. This
collection of characters like Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Wee-Man,
Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, and Chris Raab, made it clear that there
was no danger off-limits. But just as immediate as the cultural
impact was the controversy the show would create, because on the
DARK SIDE OF FAME is a different story altogether. Once the cameras
stopped rolling, several of the show’s stars were left forever
changed, whether it was permanent injuries, drug addictions,
suicidal thoughts and more. “Jackass” left a trail of bodies and
destruction in its wake.
