    Steve-O:

    >”The boob job wasn’t even the worst idea, not even close. I would say the worst idea was when I decided that, if I were to fire a bullet through my cheeks, I figured that I had enough space in between my teeth when my mouth is wide open. With a super slow motion camera, you’d be able to see the bullet pass through my cheeks and my mouth. I didn’t think that the stakes were that high. What, am I going to end up with more fake teeth? Big whoop.”

    >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.

    >”Especially small caliber bullets like a .22, which is what I would imagine we would have to use, when they hit soft tissue, they absolutely change direction. Enough for it to hit a tooth, which would then absolutely make it ricochet in crazy directions. As hard as I tried, and as many people as I reached out to, all roads led to that not happening either.”

  2. Can somebody close to him tell him he can like, stop now? You keep hearing about these weird stunts he’s is/wants to do and it’s just like, who are you even still doing this for?

    IIRC Johnny Knoxville got interest for Jackass because he was working at magazine and he shot himself in the chest with a bulletproof vest on. 

  4. Local Steve-O wanted to blow himself up with C4, but he came to the conclusion that it might not be a great idea.

  5. Why not change “face” to “cheeks” in the title? Oh yeah, wouldn’t been as klick baity then ya…

    It’s a wild ride seeing Steve-O go from “most likely to die” to Sober and everyone cheering for him.

    To him tattooing a cock on his face, trying to get fake tits, and considering shooting himself in the face and people being concerned about him once again.

  7. In his 2022 book “A Hard Kick in the Nuts” he laid out his plans for a bunch of stunts, including this one, and said he was so confident he would do it that he felt comfortable putting it in the book. Kind of surprised he said all that without knowing how something like this would actually go down.
