Jackass fans will get the chance to witness Steve-O’s struggle with drugs and alcohol in a no-holds-barred documentary.
In an MTV special titled Steve-O: Demise And Rise, viewers will get to see the 34-year-old documenting his life on tape, including his days at the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, which led to a job at a flea-market circus.
Steve-O says that he was a “cocaine-addicted clown” during those heady days, who performed “two shows on Friday, three shows on Saturday and three shows on Sunday, and typically I would do cocaine through all of it without sleeping”.
The unflinching documentary, which is set to air on May 3 in the US, features “extreme substance abuse, including the marathon nitrous oxide sessions, terrorising his next-door neighbour, his ill-fated attempt at being a gangsta-rapper and several infamous public displays of self-destructive behaviour,” according to a press release from the network.
In 2008, Steve-O, real-name Stephen Glover pleaded guilty to cocaine possession and checked into a mental institution to get well.
He famously made his name performing outrageous stunts on MTV show Jackass alongside his good pal Johnny Knoxville.
