Jackass star Steve-O isn't one for holding back from an offer and he admits his latest project "creeps me out" - an opinion fans seemingly share.
The reality TV star and stuntman, 49, is well known for his weird, wonderful, whacky and often controversial plans - and his latest certainly ticks a lot of those. As part of a campaign for drinks brand Liquid Death, Steve-O, whose real name is Stephen Gilchrist Glover, has done something he has never done before - created a collectable voodoo doll. Well, 300 to be precise.
For the weird production, Steve-O explained to the Mirror he simply "let them cut my hair and make dolls with it". " I’d be lying if I said this doesn’t creep me out," he continued. " But I love Liquid Death so much, I said f**k it!"

Fans couldn't help but agree with him and quickly shared their thoughts on social media. One Twitter user wrote: "Liquid death selling mass produced “voodoo dolls” with Steve-o’s hair is f***ing nuts."

Another added: "I think this is a bit too weird for me...," while a third was seemingly all-in on the ideas, writing: "I need this."
It's the latest in a long line of weird stunts and Steve-O admits he pretty much fell into this line of career due to failing at school. He said: "I couldn’t get through college or keep any kind of a job, and trying to become a crazy, famous stuntman was the only plan I had. My advice for everyone, regardless of what they want to do, is to start doing it. Don’t wait to be picked, or for the right time. The right time is right now."

In the footage, he can be seen making the leap in front of a shocked crowd, who gasped as he made the jump. Later on in the video obtained by TMZ, he was seen safely making his way out of the water and pulling a dry t-shirt back on before being escorted to a police car by the authorities. He wasn't detained for long and appeared to have been given a brief telling off before being released.
