The Untold Truth Of Johnny Knoxville

Publish date: 2024-05-05

Though he's best known for making audiences laugh, Johnny Knoxville is also known for his charm and unique personal style. The New York Times suggested that the star's good looks may have helped account for the "Jackass: The Movie" premiere where "34 percent of the opening-weekend audience was female."

For most of his career, Knoxville sported hairstyles showing off his dark locks. But secretly, the star was hiding his true color: His hair actually started to turn gray in his 20s. "His father had been 19 when his own head turned white, so Knoxville was prepared. And for nearly 20 years, he kept up a faithful coloring regimen that lasted until the pandemic hit," GQ reported in 2021. After his first haircut without dye, Knoxville was shocked at what he saw. "I knew that I was gray under there ... But I didn't know how gray," he said. "I really liked it."

In 2005, GQ declared the "Jackass" star a "style icon," and not much has changed since then. All these years and hair changes later, and as GQ noted in 2021, Knoxville continues to rock his "punk-inflected uniform," a casual skater aesthetic that features classic pieces like Chuck Taylors, neckties, button downs, T-shirts, and Ray-Ban Wayfarers. And these never out-of-style staples have "the charming effect of underscoring his advancing age."
