Stephen Gilchrist Glover, known professionally as Steve-O, was born on June 13, 1974, in Wimbledon, London. His early life involved frequent international moves due to his father’s career, leading him to live in Brazil, Venezuela, and various locations in the United States and the UK. He briefly attended the University of Miami and later graduated from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College in 1997. After not being selected for the circus, he worked as a clown and filmed self-produced stunt videos. These videos eventually led to his recruitment by Jeff Tremaine for the MTV reality comedy series *Jackass*, which premiered in 2000 and quickly gained significant cultural attention.
His career expanded significantly with the success of *Jackass*, leading to a successful film franchise starting with *Jackass: The Movie* in 2002. He co-starred in spin-off series like *Wildboyz* (2003-2006) and *Dr. Steve-O* (2007). In parallel, Steve-O toured with his self-filmed stunts, releasing DVDs such as *Don’t Try This at Home*, which sold 140,000 copies. Despite numerous arrests for his public stunts and controversial performances, he continued to be a central figure in the *Jackass* film series, including *Jackass Number Two* (2006), *Jackass 3D* (2010), and more recently, *Jackass Forever* (2022). His involvement as a writer and co-producer on several *Jackass* projects highlights his creative contribution beyond just performing.
A significant turning point in Steve-O’s life came in 2008 when, after an intervention by his *Jackass* co-stars, he entered treatment for substance abuse and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He has maintained sobriety since March 2008 and has become an advocate for recovery and animal rights. His post-rehab career includes extensive stand-up comedy tours, the publication of his memoir *Professional Idiot* (2011), and the creation of his popular YouTube channel and podcast, *Steve-O’s Wild Ride!*. He has leveraged his platform to discuss his past struggles and promote positive messages, such as his protest against SeaWorld in 2015. He continues to perform and create content, including his “The Bucket List Tour,” showcasing stunts deemed too extreme for *Jackass*.
