After graduating from South-Doyle High School in 1989 in Knoxville, Tennessee, Clapp moved to California to become an actor, and at first appeared in commercials and as an extra. Not getting the big break he had hoped for, he began writing and pitching article ideas to various magazines. He also attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts on a scholarship, but dropped out within two weeks.
An idea to test self-defense equipment on himself was picked up by the Jeff Tremaine-helmed skateboarding magazine Big Brother, and the stunts were filmed and included in Big Brother's Number Two video. Knoxville's antics became a staple for Big Brother, whose colorful cast of contributors also included Chris Pontius, Steve-O and Dave England.
Attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Pasadena, California.
At age of eight had flu, pneumonia and bronchitis all at same time and nearly died.
Suffers from asthma.
His dad sells used cars.
Was writing for a skateboarding magazine called Big Brother when he did a story about self-defense equipment, which he tried on himself while Jeff Tremaine (editor for Big Brother) filmed it. These led to the Big Brother Videos Shit, Number Two, and Boob, which paved the way for Land Speed, CKY2K, and CKY3K. The CKY videos later became the first episodes of "Jackass" (2000).
Grew up in southern Knoxville, Tennessee.
His wife Melanie is from Texas and she is a clothing designer. They have a daughter named Madison. Johnny has her name tattooed on his chest over his heart.
There was a bidding war between Comedy Central and MTV over Johnny. MTV won, thus "Jackass" (2000) was born.
Offered a spot on "Saturday Night Live" (1975), but turned it down. Later, on May 7, 2005, he hosted the show.
Was knocked unconscious 3 times during making of Jackass: The Movie (2002)
