Jackass star Steve-O shocked radio listeners in Australia on Tuesday by making a candid confession about his years of rampant drug use.
Steve, who has now been sober for 15 years, revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that he now has to avoid the smell of marijuana.
‘When I smell marijuana, I find it quite disturbing. I don’t like breathing it into my lungs and what’s worse, I like the way it smells,” he explained.
The 49-year-old star said he always did his best to avoid really hard drugs, but he’s tried almost everything.
‘I’ve never tried heroin and if I tried crack cocaine I’m pretty sure I did it wrong. “I did everything else,” he said.

“With any other illness, the best you can hope for is to get back to where you were before the illness. But for addicts, when we treat ourselves, we become a better version than before.”
He said he was at peace with dying because he had achieved so much during his career as a daring stuntman.
‘The body is not a temple. You’re supposed to drive it until the wheels fall off,” he added.

The daredevil traveled to Australia earlier this year for his The Bucket List Tour, but unfortunately he couldn’t bring his Jackass co-star Bam Margera, 44.
Bam, who has struggled with drug and alcohol problems for years despite repeated attempts to sober up, is said to be hitting the road with Steve-O.
But the former pro skateboarder was nowhere to be seen during his Australian tour.

In March, things went from bad to worse for the Viva La Bam star when he was arrested on domestic violence charges for allegedly kicking his new girlfriend.
San Diego County sheriff’s deputies were called to a home in Escondido, California, and Bam was later booked into the Vista Detention Facility on charges of “bodily injury to a current or former spouse, cohabitant, dating partner or co-parent.” .
The alleged victim was not his estranged wife, but rather Bam’s new girlfriend, who has not yet been identified.
Steve-O, who has been sober for years after also struggling with substance abuse, has done everything he can to help his friend.
