Summary

Darby Allin said he would still love to be part of a Jackass movie after previously speaking with Steve-O during the development of Jackass Forever.

According to Allin, some headlines from a few years ago suggested he would appear in the film, but that never happened. He said he reached out before production on the fourth movie and pitched the idea directly, though it ultimately did not lead to a role.

Quote from Darby Allin

"I talked to Steve-O probably forever ago, back when they were filming the fourth movie (Jackass Forever), right before the pandemic. I said, ‘Yo, put me in that movie.’ … But yeah, honestly, I would love to do anything. Just because I think of everything that inspired me. I wasn’t really inspired by wrestling growing up. I was inspired by skateboarding, Jackass and all those crazy shows. So, just to bring that into the world of wrestling was so fun. Of course, you would like to do anything. But if it doesn’t work out, that’s amazing, too. Because everybody’s on their own road and everything like that. I feel like I’m living Jackass on a weekly basis on AEW."

What the Jackass influence says about Darby Allin in AEW

Darby Allin tying Jackass directly to his creative identity helps explain why his AEW work so often blurs the line between wrestling stunt work and outright recklessness. That same mentality has shaped plenty of his recent comments, including his story about Tony Khan watching him jump a Jeep over his house.

It also reinforces that Allin still sees his wrestling persona as bigger than standard in-ring presentation. Even without a movie role, he made it clear that the chaos and physical risk associated with Jackass remain central to the version of himself fans see on AEW television.
