Philip John Clapp

Johnny Knoxville's acting career kicked off unusually. At first, the man became famous as an eccentric prankster and extreme and only then went down in the history of the big cinema. The creative American started a scattering of memes with a red cat, who takes pictures of himself on camera with the constant phrase "Hi, I'm Johnny Catesville, and today we will try..."

The biography of the balagur and comedian began in 1971. In Knoxville, Tennessee, on March 11, the family of car tire seller Philip Clapp was born a boy named in double name Philip John.

When the child was four years old, he became very ill. Influenza, bronchitis and pneumonia, which struck the baby at the same time, gave complications - since then Johnny suffers from asthma.

The disease did not prevent to study well in school, the young man graduated with fives. Health problems failed to tame the restless character: the boy from childhood was distinguished by the craving for funny pranks of friends and relatives, was known as a notorious bully.

The disease, by the way, and served as the impetus for unusual activities in the future. Johnny realized that the human body - a thing strong, it is not so easy to disable.

The dream to master acting led the young man to the Academy of Dramatic Art. At the first couples directors did not pay attention to the capable Johnny, invitations came only from the creators of commercials. A couple of times the novice actor was filmed in minor episodes in a number of films. This situation did not suit the young man, so he decided to make fate with his own hands.

The artist, taking the pseudonym Johnny Knoxville, began to write in magazines articles on the topic of endurance of the body, backing the conclusions of the findings. The man told how he felt after using pepper spray, police baton, stun gun.

One day, on the order of one publication, he put on a bulletproof vest and fired a pistol into his chest. Some of the stunts were captured on video. According to Johnny, the most unpleasant sensation is caused by tear gas from a canister. The actor said:

These extreme experiments, more like masochist experiments, attracted mtv channel editors. And soon Johnny was on TV screens in the new show "Wonders", which became for the actor a ticket to the cinema. Ideas for the project and scripts for funny and to some extent silly experiences Knoxville came up with with director Spike Jonze.

In episodes of the TV show Knoxville jumped across the river on roller skates, tested the cup as a groin protection, flew out of the circus gun. The authors of the project at the beginning of each series warned viewers that it is better not to try to repeat the tricks shown, but a wave of injuries suffered by curious children and teenagers rolled across the country. The TV channel began to receive subpoenas to the courts.

In 2001, at the height of his fame, the show was closed. A year later, the creators of the project filmed a full-length documentary comedy "Wonders", full of vulgar jokes and even more sophisticated experiments on themselves.

Working in the show "Wonder," Johnny in parallel actively starred in feature films. The man got supporting roles in the legendary film "People in Black-2" (played by an alien villain) and in the action movie "BroadLy Stepping." But soon the main parties were waiting: "The Abduction of Parsons" and "The Fools of Hazzard."

The directors of the comedy films were happy to give Knoxville the lead roles. The actor in 2005 starred in the comedy directed by Barry Blaustein "Simulant", where he turned into a "disabled" - a participant of the Special Olympics, trying to earn money and pay off debts. Met on the set of "The Genius Dad" with Kevin Spacey and Camilla Belle, naughty in the image of an 86-year-old man in "The Unbearable Grandfather."

In 2014, Knoxville was involved in the creation of the documentary "The Unbearable Granny," about the creation of the comedy "The Unbearable Grandfather." It included a scattering of cut-out scenes and comments of the main characters.

In 2013, the film "The Return of the Hero" was released, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Johnny Knoxville is reincarnated as the director of the Gun Museum and a sheriff's deputy. And three years later, the actor was lucky enough to work with Jackie Chan in the film "The Unsung Partners". Johnny shared his impressions of these shootings in an interview:

Knoxville is often invited to voice cartoons and animated films. His voice, for example, was spoken by Leonardo from the films "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (2014, 2016). The actor and showman owns the production company "Dickhouse Productions", which filmed popular TV shows.

Johnny married for the first time in 1995. His chosen one was Melanie Lyn Cates, who a year later gave her wife a daughter Madison. The marriage lasted 12 years, but in 2007 the couple announced their separation.

Fans expected that the couple will reconcile, but the actor soon filed for divorce, explaining that it is impossible to agree. The divorce process lasted eight months.

Immediately after the official breakup, Knoxville had an affair with actress Naomi Nelson, who gave birth in December 2009 to an heir who bears the dual name Rocco Akira Clapp.

Parents were in no hurry to legalize the relationship - under the crown went only a year later. On October 6, 2011, Johnny became a father for the third time - Naomi gave birth to a daughter Erlo.

Johnny Knoxville is an active social media user. Thoughts and episodes from life is shared on the pages of Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

The actor continues to act in movies. Johnny's next work was the film "Point of Separation", which premiered at the end of March 2018. In the center of the plot - a reckless young man who decided to open the most extreme amusement park in America.
