The “Jackass” crew bid farewell to their chaotic franchise at the premiere of their final film on Wednesday night.
The Paramount Theater on the studio’s Hollywood lot was decked out for the black-tie optional “Jackass: Best and Last” premiere, with candelabras, elegant floral arrangements and even a grand piano — where a tatted guy in tighty whities and angel wings played classical interpretations of hits by Zara Larsson, Rihanna and more.
Many guests took the “optional” part of the dress code to heart: For every tuxedo, there were three pairs of Chucks in the crowd.
Among the celeb guests in the audience were Pedro Pascal, Paris Jackson, “Obsession” breakout Inde Navarrette, Tyler The Creator, “New Girl” alum Max Greenfield, Johnny Bananas, Jon Watts and “SNL” star Sarah Sherman.
Before the screening, Johnny Knoxville, director Jeff Tremaine and producer Spike Jonze delivered some brief remarks. “This has been 26 years that we’ve all done this together… This is a special night for us to be able to show this to you,” Jonze said.
“Jackass: Best and Last” is a love letter to stupidity, and played exceptionally well to the packed crowd with lots of groaning, gagging, eye-covering, wincing, and of course, laughing, in the auditorium.
Guests were later welcomed into a lavish afterparty… with a “Jackass” twist.
Among the upscale apps and buffet selections were a few naughty items, like penis-shaped pasta, extra large chocolate covered bananas and even a butt-shaped ice luge. (Barkeeps poured espresso martinis into the “butt crack”… you get it.)
The cast — including Knoxville, Steve-O, Ehren “Danger” McGhehey (plus his tuxedo-clad dog, Bugsy), Jason “Wee Man” Acuña and Chris Pontius — gathered at the heart of the party to watch a show-stopping drone show.
The 11-minute spectacular featured iconic imagery from the franchise’s run, including a port-a-potty spewing its contents, the word “FART,” a supersized shopping cart and Knoxville atop a giant red rocket. (It all must’ve truly been a sight for any Hollywood neighbors unaware of the event.)
But while everyone seemed to enjoy the display, Tremaine had one quibble: “Where were all the d–ks?”
