00:00Johnny Knoxville has broken his silence over accusations from Jackass co-star Bam Margera.

00:05Margera has been somewhat of a regular fixture on TMZ as of late, bashing Knoxville and everyone

00:09else involved with Jackass 4, including director Jeff Tremaine, after he was fired from the film.

00:15Margera, who has been in and out of rehab a number of times, apparently broke his contract

00:19due to mandates related to his substance abuse. Margera later claimed the expectations were not

00:24fair and likened the situation to, quote, torture. Now Knoxville has addressed the matter in a new

00:29GQ profile. The 50-year-old actor and stuntman said,

00:32We want Bam to be happy and healthy and get the help he needs. We tried to push that along.

00:37I think that's all I really want to say about it. He later added,

00:40I don't want to get into a public back and forth with Bam. I just want him to get better.

00:44The magazine contacted Margera, who confirmed he was booted off the picture. He told GQ,

00:48It hurts my heart because I've waited 10 years for this.

00:51Margera was a part of the original MTV series and appeared in the previous three Jackass films.
