Last week, the “Jackass” star revealed during an interview with the New York-based news website Consequence that he had planned to get breast augmentation as a joke but decided the day of his surgery not to go through with it after speaking with someone who is transgender. “On the day the scheduled surgery was supposed to happen, I was checking out at the supermarket, and the person ringing up my groceries was evidently transgender, and it struck me as a sign from the universe,” Steve-O told the news outlet.
“So I asked the transgender person if I could run something by them, and I had a conversation with this person that had a profound impact on me.” In July, the comedian told the “X5 Podcast” that he had plans to undergo breast augmentation surgery as a joke. “I came up with the idea a few years ago to get a boob job and just film a bunch of legitimately funny hidden camera pranks with me in disguise,” he explained at the time.
“And then revealing who I actually am.” Steve-O described to Consequence one of the pranks he had planned. It included him removing all his body hair, “ambushing” off his tattoos and losing “literally 20 pounds to get really slender and petite.
