I haven't heard the name "Steve-O" in years. The actor and stunt performer is best known for his lewd and daredevil antics television series Jackass, which was popular in the early 2000s. Since then, he's rarely been in the news for his elaborate goofs, gaffs, and pranks.
That is, until now, when he emerged to participate in the latest viral social media challenge.
With John Mayer and Jason Statham participating in the trend, Steve-O didn't want to be left out. And he made his presence known in a very graphic way. Rather than using his foot to de-cap-itate a bottle (as any normal participant would), he instead used what his mother gave him. He tweeted a video with the caption: "Nothing but dick! #JustTheTip."
With too many people getting the challenge right, Steve-O decided to up the ante, as he normally does. The 45-year-old comic filmed himself completing the challenge, while blurring out the thing that helped him successfully do it. At the end of the video, we see his laughing face, obviously pleased with his feat.
Check out Steve-O's challenge below:

And the craziest thing about all this is that people applauded him for it? Some users cheered him on with comments like "best one yet" and "you won". Even Trojan Condoms responded to his unorthodox success.
The company commented: "Next time, protect yourself against 'cap burn.'" Other not-so-thrilled fans responded with memes of people on the phone with the caption "Hello, may I speak to Jesus?" and one that read, "Partner, you just yee'd your last haw."
Celebrities have tried to set themselves apart with the challenge, but no attempts have been as effective. Ryan Reynolds, for example, created a small film with his Aviation Gin bottle before failing the challenge and smashing the glass container. Kendall Jenner, on the other hand, got fancy by completing the challenge on a jet ski.
No matter what's coming next in the Bottle Cap Challenge, it's going to be hard to top Steve-O and his willy.

Steven Glover (aka Steve-O) has taken to social media this week with an inspiring post celebrating 13 years of sobriety.
In a post made on his official Facebook page, the 46-year-old former Jackass stuntman and performer shared a before and after side-by-side picture and gave a shout out to his friend and co-star Johnny Knoxville.
The first image shows Glover surrounded by narcotics, pills, cigarettes, and alcohol, and is dated 2006, while the second is dated 2021, and shows him surrounded by healthy fruit and vegetables instead.
Glover captioned his post:
"So grateful to be celebrating thirteen years of sobriety today.
"Thanks to everyone who helped me make it this far and, as always, thanks to @johnnyknoxville for giving me the loving nudge that started my journey! [sic]"
On Facebook, Glover's post quickly accrued a lot of positive attention from his followers, and it now boasts over 481,000 reactions, 14,000 comments, and 44,000 shares as of the time of writing.
For instance, one person wrote: "Amazing job Steve-O I'm really proud of you and you yourself are truly such a huge inspiration for me myself keep it up brother!"
A second person wrote: "So happy for this picture right here. I grew up watching you tearing yourself apart, I'm just so happy to be able to also watch you put yourself back together and find happiness."
Meanwhile, someone else commented: "You're an inspiration to us all brother! Thank you for keeping the lights on for a guy like me."
A fourth person wrote: "Such an amazing transformation! Congratulations on a job well done."
Another commenter chimed in: "Congratulations it takes real strength to accomplish such an achievement."
Someone else wrote: "Freaking inspiring man. Keep up the outstanding work. Truly a fan since the beginning i have loved watching you grow and change into greatness."
Finally, another person added: "This is awesome! Thanks for sharing your recovery journey so freely, you gave me hope that I could do it too. Recently celebrated 5 years clean & sober [sic]"
In a 2012 interview with US Weekly, Glover spoke about how being a pet owner had kept him sober stating: "I just think back to before I had my dogs and my life must have been just so empty. I shouldn't say empty, but I can't believe how much those little sons of b****es have enriched my life.
"It's so good for a guy like me to have a priority that's not myself and have a regimen and discipline and responsibility that's all very healthy."

Ladies and gentlemen, there's a new viral challenge on the block, and we're happy to confirm it involves neither eating a plastic packet of laundry detergent, nor dousing yourselves in lighter fluid and immolating yourself.
No, the Bottle Cap Challenge is harmless, fun, and, believe it or not, actually takes some skill. The online trend dares you to effortlessly open the cap of a bottle with a single kick of your foot (no hands allowed) and it seems like every person on the internet is trying it at the moment. Think you could give it a go? Watch and learn!
The challenge began when Karo Pashikyan, an MMA fighter from Kazakhstan posted footage of himself smashing it:

Steve-O has opened up about his past issues with drug abuse, including occasions when he sent other celebrities and people in the industry concerning messages.
The daredevil, who is best known for his adrenaline-pumping public stunts on the show Jackass, recently revealed he used to create and share "disturbing videos" privately with other celebrities.
Ironically, the reveal came on the same day the Jackass star had the police scrambling to London's Tower Bridge after he decided to take a dip for a daring stunt.
Steve-O, whose real name is Stephen Glover, opened up on his past during an in-depth interview for the Stephen Bartlett's Diary of a CEO podcast, touching upon childhood trauma, addiction struggles, and the contents of those videos and emails.
Steve-O discussed his past drug abuse and how it led to him sending a "barrage" of messages to hundreds of people as his mental health declined.
He explained: "I was inundating a list of roughly 200 people, many of them very influential people in the entertainment industry, celebrities and agents and just powerful people, media personalities. I was just inundating these 200 people with emails at all hours, round the clock, and effectively broadcasting my downward spiral in real-time."
The TV star revealed that the emails and videos he would send ranged from "really funny stuff" to the "deeply alarming".
"I knew how out of control I was but [I thought] I was rad. I was out of my mind. I was out of my mind and I was making that abundantly clear," he admitted.
His emails began around 2007, two years after the birth of the video-sharing platform YouTube, which he used to create "really disturbing videos", which he would subsequently share with everyone on his email list by sending them the link.
It was around this time that he was also renting four apartments in one building, transforming one into his personal skatepark, unbeknownst to the landlord, keeping two for staff, and living in the final one himself, where he says "all the crazy stuff happened".
Fast forward to the present, Steve-O, now 15 years sober, is gearing up for his live comedy shows in London, which will be filmed for all of his fans to enjoy.
This week saw Steve-O take on his latest high-profile stunt, where he leaped off London's iconic Tower Bridge with a Union Flag-patterned umbrella, channelling Mary Poppins. Although he found himself in a police car after the fact, the star was released soon after, praising the officers as "totally cool".

Jackass star Steve-O has burst an eardrum after being hit with dog poop in his latest stunt.
This comes after he recently announced the name of the latest installment in the Jackass series, Jackass Forever, which is hitting movie theaters later this year.
The 47-year-old daredevil has been whetting appetites for the movie for months by sharing snippets of some of the stunts involved, and in his latest social media clip, he shares an incident that he describes as really "stupid".
Watch the shocking footage below:On Twitter, the star wrote alongside the clip: "Even for me, this was REALLY stupid. #BustedEardrum #DogPoop".
It's not known if the footage was taken specifically for Jackass Forever or simply as content for Steve-O's social media channels.
In the video, the Jackass star can be seen counting down before he is hit on the side of the face with projectile dog poop.
Soon after the dog waste splatters across his face, it becomes clear that he is genuinely in pain.
The clip then cuts to a doctor investigating what is going on in Steve-O's ear before telling him that he's got a hole in his eardrum as a result of the stunt.
"What you did was a stupid thing," the doctor says.
Reacting to the footage on Twitter, one user wrote: "Steve-o, no one is asking for this. Take it easy, guy."
A second wrote alongside a despairing emoji: "As someone who has had soooo many ear infections this just hurts [sic]."
A third added: "Man take it easy, we actually care for you nowadays, we feel kinda bad when you get hurt, I don't think you need this content anymore, you are more than that."
A fourth wrote: "What else is new?? You always do the craziest things and this is why we love you… but you do need to be more careful Steve-O."
Steve-O told GQ earlier this year that he was concerned over "one stupid f***ing accident" destroying Jackass's legacy prior to the release of the new film and turning it "all into a negative… but we went ahead and f***ing did it."
The first trailer for Jackass Forever is dropping on July 20, and the film itself will be released on October 22.
