Johnny Knoxville says Jackass was always “really gay” & he’s “thrilled by it”

[In the new film “Jackass: Best and Last”] me and the guys—and I think I can retire after this—we get to have a float in the Gay Pride Parade in West Hollywood and I am ecstatic. I feel like we’ve arrived, and we’re all thrilled about it. Jackass is really gay, you know? So, we’re thrilled by it. It’s an honor to be in the parade, so we’re looking forward to it…

…The [Jackass] guys, I mean, we’re a little naughty, but it’s all positive. [We] have pretty big hearts. And we were super inclusive. And it’s a wild time right now. There’s not a lot of positivity out there right now, especially in male figures.
