PHILADELPHIA — After a year of substance-abuse treatment, Bam Margera has “never felt better,” the "Jackass" star and West Chester native said in his first interview appearance since starting his most recent journey to sobriety.
Margera recently appeared on an episode of fellow "Jackass" star Steve-O’s podcast, Steve-O’s Wild Ride, which was recorded in May. In the episode, the pair discuss Margera’s struggle with alcoholism, his axing from the most recent installment of the "Jackass" film franchise, and what has come to be known as the “Free Bam” movement on social media.
Margera’s struggle with sobriety has long made headlines, most recently when he fled a Florida rehab center and was later found at a hotel in June — about a month after his podcast appearance. In the episode, Steve-O said that Margera is now back in rehab.
