Bam Margera has reportedly been hospitalized and is battling a serious case of pneumonia. As first reported by <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/12/09/bam-margera-hospitalized-pneumonia-ventilator-jackass-star/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a>, the 43-year-old Jackass star was hospitalized in San Diego earlier in the week, with the outlet reporting that Margera's pneumonia has been "complicated" following a positive Covid diagnosis. TMZ reports that doctors have placed Margera on a ventilator and that he is being treated in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). Thankfully, sources close to the situation have informed TMZ that Margera is in a stable condition. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263182907" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/12/2EY92PK-739x1024.jpg" alt="" width="739" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Sipa US / Alamy]] The concerning news comes after Margera has been reported missing on <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/bam-margera-found-safe-after-fleeing-rehab">at least two different occasions</a> earlier this year after fleeing from a Florida rehab facility back in June. At the time, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10922133/Bam-Margera-authorities-Delray-Beach-Florida-hotel-going-AWOL-rehab.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MailOnline</a> reported that the father-of-one was checked into the Delray Beach rehab facility to complete a court-ordered program. Authorities escorted him to the treatment center after getting a call about an "emotionally distressed person". Treatment had appeared to be going well for the former MTV star, as Margera proudly took to Instagram to celebrate "one year of treatment" for drug and alcohol abuse. He shared a black and white snap of himself with "1 year!" written on his hand.

Although, he certainly didn't make an overt effort to evade authorities during his two-day stint on the run. He was active on social media the entire time, sharing a selfie of himself, his wife Nicole Boyd, and rapper Machine Gun Kelly to his Instagram story. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CeyqOcmlzTk/]] He also shared a snap of himself with his "new AA sponsor", in an Instagram that he captioned: "MMA fighter, chiropractor and ten years sober Dominick, is my new AA sponsor." After just a few days out of rehab, Margera was collected by authorities and taken back to the facility he escaped, where he'll continue treatment. Margera - real name Brandon Cole Margera - is perhaps best known for being part of the beloved Jackass cast, taking part in 25 episodes of the original series and featuring in the highly successful spin-off movies. We wish Margera the very best at this time. <h6>Featured image credit: AFF / Alamy</h6>
