Dynamic Duo #46

John Waters and Johnny Knoxville.

Knoxville got married this month, and John Waters was the minister who performed the ceremony.

Pink Flamingos was a form of rebellion; it was the spirit of the age. And a chance to go against that. It was a chance to confront the mainstream. But you know it was also just a lot of fun. And if I hadn’t made my movies, the early films and Pink Flamingos, somebody would have. It might have had to wait until the Jackass franchise. Johnny Knoxville is great; he’s a sweetheart. He’s sensitive and funny and he’s not at all homophobic, but he’s also definitely straight. But what’s amusing to me is that I went to Jackass 3D here in Baltimore. And I loved it! But the theatre is full of grown men with their young sons. They’re all watching these guys on the screen shoving things up their butt. I mean it’s a thin line between these worlds, isn’t it?”
