JACKASS PREPARED ME FOR WRESTLING!

The daredevil definitely has what it takes to become a WWE champion

- 

Johnny Knoxville has made a career out of putting his body in precarious positions. So his recent foray into wrestling doesn't come as too much of a surprise to fans. "In a way, Jackass was good preparation," says the 50-year-old stunt performer, who will face off against WWE pro Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 38 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas on the weekend of April 2 and 3. "Wrestling is a very physical thing, and everyone is wrecking their bodies in both.” Here, the father of three he shares son Rocko, 12, and daughter Arlo, 10, with wife Naomi Nelson, and has daughter Madison, 26, from a previous relationship talk to In Touch's Natalie Posner about gearing up for the ring, the stunt he refuses to do and his not-so-guilty pleasure.

Jackass trained you well. How else are you getting ready for WrestleMania?

JK: I've been tossing 200-pound tires over a fence. My neighbors are getting pissed, but that's to be expected. The tires weigh a little more than that no-good, low-down and dirty Sami Zayn.

What about your diet?
