The star said that he spent most of the afternoon in a police car and said police told him that the issue with his stunt is it might “encourage others to make suicidal leaps from the famed bridge.”
Hisbridge jump wasn’t Steve-O’s only stunt of the trip he says he also jumped off a famous double-decker bus, which he considered much worse than the bridge jump due to the hard concrete.

Posting on Instagram to update fans on his latest antics the star penned the caption: “I asked for a professional photographer in London to shoot me illegally climbing onto the roof of a big, red double-decker bus, and @mikechudley absolutely killed it!
“The bus driver was really cool about the surprise, too— I promised him we would obscure anything identifiable about him or his individual bus! What a day I had yesterday, check TMZ.com to see how I ended up in a cop car! “
This is not the only risky stunt that the Jackass star has performed.

Although the last Jackass film was released more than a decade ago in 2010, it clearly hasn’t stopped Steve-O’s search for the next adrenaline boost.
In 2021 the emergency services had to be called as he duct-taped himself to a billboard in Hollywood.
The stunt was to advertise his latest series Gnarly, and he shared the crazy clip on Instagram, telling his fans: “I’m attached to a billboard right now.

“And I want to emphasise that a team of real professionals rigged everything safely.
“There is zero chance of me falling, and it’s important to me that we not waste any valuable city resources on this. I’m happy to just hang out.”
But later, police were called to the scene at around the 90-minute point, with firefighters showing up later to cut him loose.
