One person taking the untimely death of Jackass star Ryan Dunn pretty hard is fellow Jackass stunt-dude and Viva La Bam star Bam Margera. ( Johnny Knoxville also commented that he’d lost “a brother” when Dunn died.)
Margera was away when Dunn was killed in a fiery crash in Pennsylvania, and gave a tearful interview to local news about losing his best friend and having to make the long trip from Arizona to Pennsylvania back alone, knowing Dunn had died. Kind of makes Roger Ebert’s tweet look even worse, doesn’t it?
Margera seems to fluctuate between happiness in remembering Dunn and crippling grief, which can be pretty sad to watch, and also understandable if you’ve been there.
