Out-of-character moment for comedian after one too many
There is one moment in Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa when Johnny Knoxville, heavily disguised as an octogenarian to fool the unsuspecting, fell out of character.
To transform into 86-year-old Irving Zisman, Knoxville spent three hours in the makeup chair, and two more if he had to wear a fake chestand back.
The out-of-character moment came in a set-up at a male strip club.
"In that scene I did fall out of character because I'd been there drinking for an hour before the dancers went on and by the time I did my little dance on the red carpet in the club, I was no longer an 86-year-old man. I was a drunk Johnny Knoxville in makeup, chasing everyone like I was Godzilla."
