Steve-O is planning to get a boob job to help better disguise himself for a ‘legitimately funny’ hidden prank show.
All in the name of ‘comedy’, the 50-year-old stuntman will temporarily take himself up to a DD cup with surgical intervention.
The Jackass star has already made an appointment and spoken to doctors about the planned surgery.
‘I came up with the idea a few years ago to get a boob job and just film a bunch of legitimately funny hidden camera pranks with me in various disguises, and then revealing who I actually am, and just funny endurance stunts and whatever,’ he told the X5 podcast.
The transformation won’t be permanent this time though as Steve-O, real name Stephen Gilchrist Glover, will get them removed after two months.
While he’s no stranger to bold stunts, he did confess he had concerns about the impact of the breast implant on his body after it was removed.
He continued: ‘I spoke with the doctors, and I said to them candidly, “The one thing I’m really freaked out about and bummed out about and would back out of this over is if I’m just gonna be a mess afterwards.”‘
An implant, typically made from saline and silicone gel, is placed between breast tissue and muscle or behind the muscle to create the illusion of a fuller chest.
The doctors have reassured the star that he won’t have any ongoing issues after they are removed.
Steve-O shared: ‘I’ve been so particularly in love with that idea because the comedy, the opportunity for comedy, I believe is absolutely there, and it’s like the quintessential Steve-O — that level of commitment.’
He claims this move, like all of his unhinged stunts, is just another part of his ‘art and is no different to his back tattoo or various piercings (including one on his bum).
‘Body modification has been part of my f****** deal, it’s been a lane in my art since the beginning,’ the stuntman said. ‘And this level of commitment to this bit, how nuts it is — I believe in it.’
It was two years ago when Steve-O first mentioned wanting to get the breast augmentation surgery while discussing his live tour.
In a chat with The Guardian, he explained: ‘The theme that ties together all of these ridiculous acts is an examination of my body and how, on the cusp of turning 50, the instrument I rely on for attention is breaking down.
‘As we barrel towards our inevitable demise, we wilt, and our bodies deteriorate, and it’s this really sad dark thing and that process is well underway for me.
‘That came from me being legitimately horrified to look in the mirror and discover that not only am I developing man t*ts but I literally have underboob too. And so I’m childishly lashing out at the God that enabled me to develop man t******.
‘Like, if I’m going to be forced to have t****** then goddamn it, they’re going to be DDs!’
He added that the ‘PT Barnum’ in him just thinks it makes sense, referring to thecontroversial circus founder and businessman.
It’s not known when Steve-O plans to undergo his breast augmentation surgery.
