“Just between us, I’ve been colouring my hair since I was in my 20s, so during the pandemic, you can’t see anyone,” he said as part of a discussion about his show The Prank Panel.

Knoxville continued: “I get a lot of Jamie Lee Curtis, which I love. My sister, Jamie Lee Curtis! Hi, Jamie!”

The clearest comparison between the pair was drawn by his Jackass Forever co-star Rachel Wolfson

She said when she first met him he still had his dark hair but once it went white she saw the resemblance clear as day.

She said: “The first day we get to set, Knoxville looked like the Knoxville I grew up watching on television. He had dark hair. He looked pretty much the same to me.

“As we started filming more, one day he shows up to set looking like Silver Foxville here, and I was like, ‘What is this?’ I don’t recognize this person.

“I think me and the internet both agree that he has a strong resemblance to Jamie Lee Curtis.”
