Jackass Star Bam Margera Reveals Alcohol Nearly Destroyed Legs

Bam Margera, the 45-year-old Jackass star and skateboarding icon, has openly shared his intense battle with alcohol abuse that nearly led to losing his legs, which doctors once described as "dry-rotted rubber bands." After years of struggling and a decade away from skating, Margera credits his wife Dannii Marie for helping him rebuild his strength and reclaim his passion for skateboarding, which he says has brought his life back on track. Despite multiple legal issues and arrests in recent years, Margera has made a significant comeback, highlighted by his involvement in the launch of the new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 video game. He likened his return to Elvis Presley's 1968 Comeback Special, emphasizing that focusing on skateboarding has been key to his recovery and renewed happiness. Margera also revealed a torn MCL injury sustained in 2024 but remains determined to continue skating unless physically unable. His story is one of resilience, with skateboarding playing a central role in his ongoing recovery and personal revival.
