Bam Margera, 46, has been notably absent from the promotion of the final Jackass film, prompting questions about his current involvement with the franchise.
Margera joined the original cast when the MTV series premiered in October 2000, performing alongside Johnny Knoxville, Steve‑O, Chris Pontius and Ryan Dunn.
His skateboarding expertise helped secure his place in the series, leading to appearances in most subsequent spin‑offs and movies.
He married childhood friend Melissa “Missy” Rothstein in 2007, with the wedding receiving extensive media coverage.
In July 2009 he was hospitalized after a four‑day drinking binge; he entered rehab in December 2009 but left the program before completion.
Divorce from Missy was finalized in 2012, after which he married Nicole Boyd in 2013; the couple welcomed son Phoenix Wolf in 2017.
Following the 2011 death of co‑star Ryan Dunn, Margera’s alcohol consumption increased, resulting in multiple stints in rehabilitation throughout the 2010s.
He was arrested for driving under the influence in Los Angeles in January 2018 and entered rehab shortly thereafter, returning to treatment again in early 2019.
In 2021 he filed a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination from the production of Jackass Forever, claiming a mandated wellness program violated his rights; the suit was withdrawn in 2022.
Nicole Boyd filed for divorce in February 2023, ending their ten‑year marriage; Margera was later arrested for disorderly conduct and placed on a 72‑hour psychiatric hold.
He met his current partner, Dannii, in June 2023, credited her with supporting his sobriety, became engaged in October 2023, and married in May 2024.
As of 2026 Margera is concentrating on skateboarding; his involvement in the final Jackass film is limited to archival footage, with no participation in new stunts.
Cast members and director have expressed continued goodwill, noting recent conversations and affirming that his return will be welcomed when he feels ready.
