Dude is fried, its sad. I have a friend like that who waits for the opportunity to spill his guts about his guilt and self-loathing and anxiety. He's been sober for over a year now but he's still struggling. IMO he's lucky he isn't dead or in prison. The guy has the biggest heart too.
I love you, Steve-o. I'm glad you've made it a whole year being sober. Now you're a real role model for young people everywhere. I have 2 grand kids and I can tell them, "Be like Steve-o". I like the crazy person you were on "Jackass" & "Wild Boyz", but now you're a whole different person. And I really did give all my votes for you on DWTS. Peace & love, Joyce (an old hippie)
this is scary if u read this this far u will die in 10 days if u dont send to any 15 videos in 2 hours good luck hope u dont die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
good work steve o ...dudes just listen to him ...and shut the fuck up all of you and learn something from him ...and what is sayin; now is just telling what is feeling ...stupide jerks !!!
i thought that was very well said. it takes a lot to look at the past and admit your faults. i give steve-o serious credit for all the steps he's made to live a healthier lifestyle, and i hope he can keep it up!!! :)
I feel bad for him..I have been fighting alcohol and pain killer addiction for years now, I don't like something about myself either, he's right and everyday is hard, I'm a nice person; and drugs, roids, and alcohol have made me not me and it sucks when people don't know the real you. God Bless
ok forget that last dumb question of mine, this mustve been such a great honor for you, was that the first time you met Steve-O? I know how much you admire him, it mustve felt so good to hear him praise your interview like that... props mr. safety... You RULE!
I'm shocked by this. He actually DOES open up in this video. It's sort of unusual, but I actually corresponded with Steve-O briefly a few years back. We actually talked about some of his issues. I had actually told him that, just by watching his videos, I felt he had a very well developed spiritual side. I think this is what's so fascinating about him: he's sensitive and introspective, but totally self-destructive. I wonder how long he'll live. Surprising he's still alive, actually.
I think he's trapped in the situation that Andy Kaufman was trapped in. He's created a character and lost himself in it. Also, of course, he loves (and needs) the attention. So, even when he's talking about his pain, he's still getting attention. I mean, it's the same either way. (1) He gets attention by inflicting pain upon himself. (2) He says that he needs the attention because he's in pain.
Hm, so you think he's still trapped? You know,I see your point, but i'm not really sure.
The sheer fact he's now opening up like this -and you can see he's really opening up, everything shows that - means he's changing. He's starting to be aware of the pattern he's been following up to not long ago. That makes me VERY hopeful he can succed. Gosh, I really HOPE he does. We don't need such a unique sweet person to end up badly.He deserves happiness, if only for all the funny LOLthings he's given!
As far as I'm aware, he's been talking like this since 2003. And then he's had tons of ups and downs since then. I remember Howard Stern once saying that Steve-O's whole act is a "love me daddy" act; in other words, Steve-O's parents didn't pay enough attention to him when he was a child. The problem is that if he cleaned up his act, no one would pay attention to him. That's the double edged sword of fame: people want to watch stars burn out.
Yes evita, what you meant was clear. Yet the fact he's tried more than once and hasn't succeded doesn't really mean he never will. Parents' unsuccessful perormance can be overcome. It takes time,and the fact we don't notice-externally-the result of his previouos attempts doesn't really mean there aren't any. On a deep level things move slowly...the moment we see them is when they've been layered on and on...that's what habits are made of, either good or bad ones. Every single attempt is a brick.
And you know, I'm not really sure on the public wanting stars to burn out to watch them....look at the comments here. We are on different positions and holding different convinctions.
But the people who will post here are the diehard fans who want things to work out for him and may care about his well being as a person. Most people who buy his products, or who buy Jackass and Wildboyz videos, are not diehard Steve-O fans. They just want to be entertained by stunts.
About the public wanting to see stars burnout, have you missed The Britney Show? Have you never picked up a tabloid? A good deal of show biz is about celeb burnout.
(Just to be clear, my name isn't Evita. That's my channel name, because I discuss the history of Evita Peron.)
Anyway -- About Steve-O, maybe I should just wrap it up by saying I wish him the best. I think he is self-destructive, but most likely he is also doing it ultimately for himself, not for the approval of others. He probably wants to blame others for his self-destruction, a sort of Christ-like "I'm dying for you" type of thing. I mean, he even drives nails through himself sometimes.
u know what...steve o is hilarious,but he has stuggled with alot of problems..u can tell he isnt happy,and hes trying to get his life on track. so for anyone who is knockin on him for bein boring...shut up and leave him alone
*Steveo is much better when he is loaded this is really a bore!!Steveo you really let us down!! * HM. Of course you DO know you're not smart, don't you.
God bless Steve-o. He has done nothing but try to entertain us and he realizes now that it's time to relax and that you can't live forever..Best of luck to him..
is he serious in this or trying to make a joke? I mean I can't even imagine Steve-O as being serious, you watch those videos and it's just the most sick pathetic nonsense imaginable.
Its great to hear about hopw he is doing better and actually understands his problems. I hope he continues to do really good. Oh and what is his shirt about?
Hey sorry for multiple posting, connection is quite slow here and i was impatient to comment. Now..this is a touching beautiful interview, and: Steve, your honesty is your best point. If it is love you need, be sure we love you and want to see you grooving, up to old age. Shouting out from italy, and i know everybody loved/s your crazy shows and the fact you're yourself, even when a bit high. YOu're a good person. That's it.
I LOVE this man!! His crazy reportages around the world are legend and he would crack me up...and he's a good guy i think. And with Cory there, it makes two legends at a time! WOW!
Hey quit bitching about his voice!!!! It makes him even hotter then he already is!!!!

hey what a great comment. Yes, sensitive introspective and self-destructive.
Wonder why you'll find these qualities often together in beautiful human beings.
