On one hand it'll be great to see the Jackass crew back in the saddle again for a fourth movie, but on the other, isn't self-torture a young man's game?

After all, Johnny Knoxville turned 50 years old earlier this year, while Steve-O just recently turned 47 - at this point, fans might be left cringing in fear rather than laughing uproariously at their injurious antics.

Confirming his commitment to the cause regardless, Steve-O recently revealed that he convinced a doctor to medicinally paralyse him from the waist down for a stunt in the film where he attempts to see how far he can run before the drug kicks in.

And because that's apparently not traumatic enough, he added that he also partook in a stunt where he performed a belly flop into a 190-gallon vat of urine. At least we know he made it through these stunts in one piece.
