Bam Margera will never return to Jackass
The TV star, 45, shot to fame as a member of the stunt show's cast back in the 2000s appearing in the small screen series as well as a number of films, but Bam struggled with substance abuse issues and he was cut from 2022 movie Jackass Forever - Bam has now insisted he will never forgive his former castmates.
He told CinemaBlend: "They have like new dudes, and what they did to me, making me go to treatment and paying for it, and then not putting me in a movie, and, you know, I had to go to court over it and I just, you couldn't offer me enough money to want to do another Jackass with them.
"The damage has been done."
Bam alleged he was wrongfully fired from the movie and he went on to to sue Paramount as well as his co-star Johnny Knoxville and director Spike Jonze.
The court case was settled in 2022.
After Jackass, Bam featured in his own reality show Viva La Bam, which ran for five seasons. When asked if he would ever consider reviving the show, Bam insisted his life has moved on and he can't go back.
He added to the publication: "I just feel like that type of show has completely run its course. 'Living with my parents, and painting the whole kitchen blue, and having my mom freak out - to end something like that, and then your life moves on.
"You get your own house, with your own wife and you have a kid … I would have to move back in with my parents and re-mess with 'em after giving them a 15-year break. It would just be weird."
Bam has a son with his second wife Nicole Boyd. He married his third wife Dannii Marie last year.
The TV star previously credited Dannii with helping him get sober after years of addiction issues.
In his wedding vows, Bam said: "Exactly one year ago, I was checking into the Sunset Marquis in Los Angeles to check out. I bought enough drugs to not want to wake up and I said, 'God if I do wake up, eff you, but you better deliver me the hottest eye candy with A-cup t**s and a tan pitbull'."
He added: "I love you and I'll love you forever and I'll take care of you. You got rid of all the d***heads and goons and made me stop drinking and got me back to skateboarding and I cannot thank you enough."

‘They take no prisoners': South Park creators ‘couldn't care less' about outrage over Trump episode
Sky News host Paul Murray has reacted to a clip from an episode of South Park which pokes fun at the US President and Paramount's settlement with Donald Trump. 'As a person who likes Donald Trump, who understands how he won, who understands how he lost and then understands how he won again – the South Park thing was hilarious. Was really funny,' he said. 'One of the best ways that you can always have a crack at the powerful is to take the piss, is to laugh, and that's what they decided to do.' Mr Murray claims the South Park creators 'couldn't care less' about the outrage over the episode. 'They take no prisoners ... that's their kind of humour and long may it reign,' he said.

Mark Hamill was ready to quit but his wife had other ideas
Meanwhile, actor Ryan Gosling brought all of his Kenergy to the Hall H panel for the highly anticipated 2026 science fiction thriller, Project Hail Mary. Gosling appeared with directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, writer Drew Goddard and author Andy Weir, who wrote the book on which the film is based. And they brought their Comic-Con A-game, screening the first five minutes of the film to rapturous applause. In the film, Gosling plays an astronaut named Ryland Grace who wakes up on a spaceship 'with no memory of himself or his mission [and] slowly deduces he is the sole survivor of a crew sent to the Tau Ceti solar system searching for a solution to a catastrophic event on Earth.' Not letting that slide by, Paramount threw down a hefty and hilarious sci-fi gauntlet, teasing an episode planned for the fourth season of their flagship Star Trek title Strange New Worlds, in which the cast and guest characters are all played by puppets. The series will 'boldly explore the puppet-verse,' according to Paramount. A short teaser clip - featuring a puppet-ised Captain Christopher Pike, voiced by actor Anson Mount, was a crowd pleaser in Hall H. (See below for this, and other trailers.) And these puppets will come with real pedigree, created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. An advance screening of an upcoming episode of Strange New Worlds, titled A Space Adventure Hour, was a part-glitchy debut of the show's famous 'holodeck', and part homage of 1950s-style B-movie sci-fi. While the convention itself was missing some of the majors – no Star Wars projects, and no new movies from either Marvel and DC Comics – DC did send Peacemaker star John Cena, who turned up in full costume, and Peacemaker producer (and Superman director) James Gunn. In the series, Cena plays patriotic mercenary Christopher Smith, aka Peacemaker, who first appeared in Gunn's 2021 film The Suicide Squad. The significance of the character has amplified since, as Gunn has taken over management of the entire DC Comics film and TV franchise. His debut film reboot, Superman, is one of the year's movie hits. Comic-Con's four-day calendar of panels and appearances included Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood, director Rob Reiner, Outlander star Sam Heughan, Captain America Anthony Mackie, NCIS: Tony & Ziva stars Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, Timothy Olyphant (Alien: Earth), Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride (The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon) and Australian actors Sam Reid, promoting Anne Rice's The Talamasca: The Secret Order, and Ryan Kwanten, promoting Primitive War. American sports executive Jeanie Buss - the president and controlling owner of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers - also made an appearance on the WOW: Women of Wrestling panel, revealing that as a kid, she was an obsessive fan of both Wonder Woman and Supergirl. (Gunn's new Superman movie, in which Supergirl appears, gets a big thumbs up from her.) And Star Wars creator George Lucas is scheduled to close the convention with a Hall H appearance to unveil the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, an 11-acre campus in LA's Exposition Park, 'dedicated to the art of illustrated stories.' The museum, which will focus on painting, photography, sculpture, illustration, comic art, performance and video, will open in 2026. San Diego Comic-Con was launched in 1970, and is now the world's biggest fan convention. The four-day event is sold out, and is expected to sink more than $US150 million ($230 million) into the local economy. The convention wraps Monday, Sydney time.
