Bam Margera TMZ Pneumonia Johnny Knoxville Ryan Dunn MTV

TV personality and former pro skateboarder Bam Margera, known for the "Jackass" franchise, was hospitalized this week with complications related to COVID-19, TMZ reported on Friday.

Margera was hospitalized earlier this week with pneumonia and later tested positive for COVID-19, TMZ said in a report. He was placed on a ventilator and remained in the intensive care unit at a San Diego hospital.

Margera has previously been open about his health issues and his addiction to alcohol, which intensified following the death of his "Jackass" co-star Ryan Dunn. Dunn died in 2011 in a DUI car crash.
