His Final Interview
Before his sad death last week, legendary stuntman Evel Knievel sat down with Maxim magazine at his home in St. Petersburg, Florida, for an exclusive and revealing interview that, according to Evel, "…may be the last interview I ever do."
Knievel suffered from a rare lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Says Evel, “how much can a human body endure? My immune system’s shot. The doctors gave me three years four years ago. I got this disease that’s so rare there’s no cure. I don’t know of anybody else who had it except Marlon Brando.”
During the interview Evel opens about how he found God a few months ago, in a hotel room in Daytona Beach. “All my life I was an atheist,” he says. “I’d tell people I didn’t believe Jesus could walk on water. Then something happened in Daytona. God spoke to me. He said, ‘Robert, you got to stop tellin’ people you don’t believe in me. I been takin’ care of you for years, watchin’ over you. I done everything for you. And you go tell people you don’t believe in me. You gotta stop it.’ ” Evel puts his hands over his face, then sobs, “I told God I’d never insult him again.”
Amen!

Congratulations!
right.
first?
its soo sad tho
OH SNAP !!! I DIDN'T KNOW EVIL PASSED AWAY !!! R.I.P
first! 334 bitches!!
Wowza.
When was this interview? He was on the MJ morning show (Tampa) on Wednesday last week. MJ was pretty sure that was his last interview.
Bless him, he found peace with the Lord before he passed. There is hope for us all. Pray for peace: Britney, Amy Winehouse, and anyone else that needs prayers for their peace. Miracles do happen!
If he's that stupid to turn to god, maybe he deserves to die. You had it right as an athiest, dude.
Actually that was not his last interview. He spoke to MJ on the radio last week before he past away about his reconciliation with Kayne West.
Amen??? Are you becoming a Baptist now, Perez? You'll have to shut down your gossip site, I'm afraid, because Christianity forbids gossip and bearing false witness. It also advises poverty, so I guess you can give all your profits to charity…
Thats MJ on 933 FLZ here in Florida

[[[♥]]]zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz[[[♥]]]
Others who had this rare lung disease:Robert Goulet, my uncle, Gordon Jump from WKRP, James Doohan from Star Trek, Laurance Rockefeller, Marlon Brando, and many others.( Jerry Lewis has it and is still living.)
Christianity does not advise or promote poverty, it promotes prosperity. Read a book. I'm glad that he found peace wherever he could find it before he died.
FUNNY HOW YOU FIND GOD RIGHT BEFORE YOU KNOW YOUR STUPID ASS IS GONNA DIE. FUCKIN LOSER
LOL soooooooo typical of American's finding "God" when it suits them.
No disrespect to Evel Knievel. RIP.
Peace out
…thats deep.
…thats deep.
To me, he always seemed like he had such a tourtured old soul. There will never be anyone like him again.
ANOTHER "EVEL" CONVERSION!
JEEZUS FUCKED ME THIS I KNOW
HE STUCK HIS DICK INTO MY HOLE
HE FUCKED ME LONG, HE FUCKED ME HARD
AND MY ASS LANDED IN THE YARD
I STUCK MY COCK INTO HIS HOLE
AND HE CRIED OUT “A BIGGER POLE!”
I RIPPED HIS ASS WITH MY BIG FIST
AND RAMMED IT IN WAY PAST MY WRIST
WHEN I GOT IN MY WHOLE ARM
I REALIZED HE BOUGHT THE FARM
BUT DON’T YOU FRET BELIEVERS KNOW
THREE MORE DAYS & HE’S HOT TO GO
I FILLED HIS ASS WITH A GALLON OF JIZZ
AND A COUPLE OF MENTOS JUST FOR THE FIZZ
AS THE SPERM SHOT OUT I SAW HIM GRIN
AND LICKED THE CUM RIGHT OFF HIS CHIN
AMEN!
It's just another example of Pascal's Wager. He found Jesus, just in case he was wrong….
wow. may he rest in peace.
Love Evel Knievel RIP
A combination of pascal's wager and existential crisis in the face of death….
Well his mind was gone. I can't understand how anyone with a healthy brain can believe in jesus bible god bullshit.
I'd rather die than become a jesus freak.
"If he’s that stupid to turn to god, maybe he deserves to die. You had it right as an athiest, dude."
Wow that is such a tolerant and non-hateful post. I thought it was the religious that was supposed to be hate mongers.
Looks like they don't have a monopoly on such things.
Anyhow, I think the post "anti" made said more about him than the man he was referring to.
"Amen??? Are you becoming a Baptist now, Perez? You’ll have to shut down your gossip site, I’m afraid, because Christianity forbids gossip and bearing false witness. It also advises poverty, so I guess you can give all your profits to charity…"
No I think Perez was just being TOLERANT. You don't have to agree with Evel's choice and still be tolerant. Tolerance isn't accepting ones views or beliefs. Tolerance is how you treat those that believe differently than you do.
Riiiight…. so he didn't believe in God for 59 years, then he "finds" God 6 weeks ago … and then dies….! Result!
Wrong. His last interview was less than a week before he died, on XM radio.
Wrong, all of you. WRONG.
His last interview was on XM radio less than a week before he died.
He is in a better place. A place where he will not have any more hurts or illness forever.
awww poor guy!
He is totally wasted on painkillers!
Ah the stages of Death
“All my life I was an atheist,” he says. “I’d tell people I didn’t believe Jesus could walk on water. Then something happened in Daytona. God spoke to me. He said, ‘Robert, you got to stop tellin’ people you don’t believe in me. I been takin’ care of you for years, watchin’ over you. I done everything for you. And you go tell people you don’t believe in me. You gotta stop it.’ ” Evel puts his hands over his face, then sobs, “I told God I’d never insult him again.”
And now that he's fucked he believes! And he believes he spoke with god ……yep good drugs!
It is great that he found God before his death!
Why did God call Evel "Robert"? Maybe He was taking care of the wrong guy all those years.
LMFAO, yes i'm sure god talked to you… and elvis didn't do no drugs
Better late than never. AMEN!!!!!!!
Jailhouse & deathbed conversions! What a load of bullshit! Why didn't he convert to Islam, or Judaism or Shinto or any of the dozens of other superstitions? Oh wait, yes, they always grasp the nearest straw when desperate. Just another moral coward who hopes he wasn't wrong. If you LIVE your life the way you want, then DIE the same way. Don't go running to the nearest false hope "just in case". What a wasted piece of shit!
Re: thatz right bitch –
Ur a cunt. end of story
I guess that the french singer Gregory Lemarchal who died this year at the age of 23 also had it.. That's really sad that there are such deseases.
RIP Evel
Somewhat he and I R both alike since we both share the same birthday…..
People who turn theist on their death beds were never really atheist.
Hmm, god has poor grammar. I wouldn't have guessed that.
I am so glad he was saved and is now in Heaven. God is good all the time.
How sad. I loved that man.
His last interview was definately with MJ on the MJ Morning Show.
r.i.p!! we will always remember you. and wow that God story is so touching He was looking out for him and inviting him to Heaven and thats probably where he is right now!
this is the same disease that robert goulet just died of
Re: johnyboi – I thought gregory had cystic fibrosis
man. thats soo sad r.i.p my uncle died in march from that.. its horrible
My mom has this disease it isn's as rare as people think.. she maybe has 1-1 1/2 years left it SUCKS people really suffer with this..
Right. No actually a priest probably shoved his cock up his ass and told them if he didn't tell the media that he believe in God, that he would fist him with a crucifix.
This is the last day I'll be on this site, because I am no longer going to waste a second of my life reading the nasty, mindless and hateful comments posted by you sad, sad people. It's been fun reading about celebrity gossip. What's not fun is constantly being reminded of how many people out there are so messed up that they've got nothing better to do than go on these websites, curse God, share their depressing thoughts, declare hatred for anyone with a little faith (or morals), and even wish people dead (people they don't even know). So sad. You guys can rip at my comment all you want, but I believe there is a Higher Power that you guys shouldn't insult. If you don't believe, at least don't rip into others for having some faith. This life is not an accident. If some of you can't open your eyes and see all the miracles of every day life (and stop focusing on just the bad), then I'll PRAY for you. At least Evel died believing in SOMETHING. So many of you are just empty. It's not about "finding Jesus"– You guys need to find yourselves. And sitting on your butts spewing negativity on the net everyday is going to get you nowhere. I recognize that I've been a hypocrite for being on a site that just breeds hatred, so I'm off. I hope you guys get a real life someday. It's out there waiting for you.
Well said, Over It. I think it's great that Evel's life ended on such a positive note.
OVER IT-SEE YA, ASSHOLE! IF YOU WANT TO BELIEVE ALL THE BULLSHIT ABOUT "A HIGHER POWER" GO AHEAD. TRY STUDYING ASTROPHYSICS AND TRY TO COMPREHEND THE TRUE SIZE & SCOPE OF THE UNIVERSE. ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND (IF YOU CAN) JUST HOW BIG IT ALL IS, YOU WOULD ALSO SEE THAT NO "GOD" OR "HIGHER POWER" COULD OR WOULD EVEN BE INTERESTED IN THE INSIGNIFICANT SOLAR SYSTEM. HUMANS SEEM TO HAVE THIS CRAZY NEED TO JUSTIFY THEIR OWN EXISTANCE. SO SOCIETIES FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS HAVE INVENTED VARIOUS GODS TO SUBSTANTIATE THEIR OWN BEING. PATHETIC!
That picture with the Maxim article isn't even Evel, it's probably his son. Evel rode a harley -not a moto-x bike.
It's funny how people on their death beds "find God".
"he found God a few months ago, in a hotel room in Daytona Beach."
LOLOLOLOL, is that where God hides nowdays?
RIP Evel, & thanks for the laugh
Holy Shit no!
RIP Evil Knievel!
I'm so happy he found the Lord before he passed! Thank you, Perez, for not making fun of him.
