Darby Allin says he would love to appear in a Jackass movie, revealing he previously pitched a stunt to Steve-O for Jackass Forever before the pandemic derailed those plans.
The AEW star addressed the topic in an interview with TMZ Sports, clarifying past headlines that suggested he would appear in the fourth Jackass film. While that never materialized, Allin remains open to working with the franchise that shaped his wrestling persona.
I talked to Steve-O probably forever ago, back when they were filming the fourth movie (Jackass Forever), right before the pandemic. I said, 'Yo, put me in that movie,'" Allin said.
"But yeah, honestly, I would love to do anything. Just because I think of everything that inspired me. I wasn't really inspired by wrestling growing up. I was inspired by skateboarding, Jackass and all those crazy shows.
Jackass Influence on Wrestling Style
Allin explained how the MTV stunt series influenced his approach to professional wrestling more than traditional wrestling itself. The daredevil style he brings to AEW programming draws directly from those early inspirations.
So, just to bring that into the world of wrestling was so fun," he continued. "Of course, you would like to do anything. But if it doesn't work out, that's amazing, too. Because everybody's on their own road and everything like that. I feel like I'm living Jackass on a weekly basis on AEW.
The interview comes as Allin continues his run in AEW, where his high-risk style and willingness to take punishment have made him a fan favorite. Whether a future Jackass collaboration happens remains to be seen, but Allin made clear the door remains open.
