Steve-O hopes Dancing with the Stars helps keep him out of drug rehab
Former Jackass star and resident daredevil Steve-O has not had the best couple of years. A high profile arrest and a stint in drug rehab left the personable pseudo-athlete wondering where his career would take him next.
Now, Steve-O appears to have a second chance in one of the most unlikely places – TV’s megahit, Dancing with the Stars.
Steve-O joins an ecletic cast of A-list, B-list and C-list stars on this year’s show which features other celebs in need of a career turnaround. Rapper Lil’ Kim is a contestant fresh off her jail sentence for lying to a grand jury.
When Steve-O is perfoming with his jackass pals he is putting his body in harms way every episode. This kind of behavior has led other stars who enjoyed prat falls into drug or alcohol rehab – including Chevy Chase during the late 1970′s and early 1980′s.
Steve-O has already spoken publicly that he hopes his presence on the show lets his fans know that he has overcome his issues with the help of a qualified drug rehab program and that his best years are still ahead of him.
