It's easy to forget that between all the fun, mayhem, and shenanigans, the Jackass franchise is made up of actual, real people. This means that, just like you and me, the Jackass team has their own personal issues to deal with. In Bam Margera's case, this is alcohol.
Margera is one of the original members of the Jackass team. In addition to starring in nearly all Jackass films as himself, Margera has also directed other Jackass spin-offs such as Viva La Bam and Bam's Unholy Union. Fans also know that Margera has had a long and storied battle against alcohol abuse.
With that said, Margera has made an effort to maintain sobriety in recent years. Unfortunately, this hasn't always gone to plan. Most recently, Paramount Pictures reportedly fired Margera from the filming of Jackass Forever, with the reasons apparently related to his alcohol problems.
Now, Margera is taking Paramount Pictures to court for wrongful termination.
