Johnny Knoxville is ready to put his risky pranks behind him.

In a new profile with GQ, the 50-year-old "Jackass 4" star opened up about retiring from the franchise and the ongoing feud between the cast and Bam Margera.

Margera has been regularly bashing the "Jackass" cast & crew, especially Knoxville & director Jeff Tremaine, claiming they put him through to "torture" and venting about being left out of the franchise's fourth installment.

In response to his accusations, Knoxville told the outlet, “We want Bam to be happy and healthy and get the help he needs. We tried to push that along. I think that’s all I really want to say about it.” He added that he doesn't want to get into a public back & forth with Bam.

Knoxville also told GQ that at 50 this will be his last "Jackass" film.

"You can only take so many chances before something irreversible happens," he said. "I feel like I've been extremely lucky to take the chances I've taken and still be walking around."

He also noted that he can't afford to have anymore concussions. "I can't put my family through that," he added.

"Jackass 4" is due out October 22, 2021.
