Johnny Knoxville Says Gray Hair Has People Comparing Him to Jamie Lee Curtis

 

Another one of those intriguing "once seen, cannot unsee" moments in Hollywood has emerged, with the unexpected comparison between Jackass star Johnny Knoxville and Jamie Lee Curtis. In a recent interview on Live With Kelly and Mark, Knoxville's side-by-side resemblance to Curtis is generating considerable buzz and fascination.

For those unaware, Knoxville has sported gray hair since a young age, typically concealing it with jet-black dye throughout his public career. However, at the age of 52, he has now fully embraced his natural look. During his appearance on the show with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, Knoxville humorously acknowledged the Jamie Lee Curtis comparisons that have come his way, even playfully greeting his supposed sister, "Hi, Jamie!"

Expanding on the topic in a lighthearted manner, Knoxville shared, "Just between us, I've been coloring my hair since my 20s. So, during the pandemic, you can't see anyone."

Interestingly, the Johnny Knoxville and Jamie Lee Curtis comparison gained viral attention last year, particularly within the TikTok community. Rachel Wolfson, Knoxville's co-star in the upcoming film Jackass Forever, revealed during an interview with Kelly Clarkson that not only does Knoxville resemble Curtis, but there were instances during filming where he seemed to physically transform into her.

"The first day we get to set, Knoxville looked like the Knoxville I grew up watching on television. He had dark hair. He looked pretty much the same to me," Wolfson told Jay Leno (who was filling in for Clarkson on The Kelly Clarkson Show). "As we started filming more, one day he shows up to set looking like Silver Foxville here, and I was like, 'What is this?' I don't recognize this person. I think me and the internet both agree that he has a strong resemblance to Jamie Lee Curtis."

Johnny Knoxville is well-versed in both humor and enduring personal pain for the sake of our entertainment. Consequently, this comparison serves as a mere scratch to his ego rather than a significant cut. However, it's one of those instances where a celebrity look-alike revelation might not have crossed your mind until you stumble upon it. And once you do, it becomes challenging to unsee.

If you haven't encountered it yet, here's a synopsis for the highly anticipated movie Jackass Forever:

"Celebrating the joy of being back together with your best friends and a perfectly executed shot to the dingdong, the original jackass crew return for another round of hilarious, wildly absurd, and often dangerous displays of comedy with a little help from some exciting new cast. Johnny and the team push the envelope even further in Jackass Forever."
