Slowly but surely, Bam Margera is getting back on track with his time in rehab!
The former Jackass star revealed late Friday afternoon to TMZ that he even got some very special visitors to come show him support at the treatment facility: his former castmates on the iconic MTV show and in the movie!

The media outlet caught Bam and his sponsor walking out of Antonio’s Mexican restaurant in El Lay on Friday afternoon — where the reality TV daredevil had Sprite with his food — and asked him how rehab had been going this time around.
Bam looks a lot healthier and happier now; he was all smiles during the interview and revealed things are going quite well! The highlight so far, as he told it, was the show of support from Steve-O and Johnny Knoxville, both of whom showed up this week to show Bam they had his back! Nice!
Of course, the Pennsylvania native isn’t done with his treatment quite yet; based on our reporting, it sounds like he’ll be down in Orange County at the rehab facility until at least the first week of September. But it’s good to hear that he’s doing so much better so quickly, especially after being hospitalized just days ago with some physical issues related to the detox and getting clean.
As you no doubt know, rehab has been a long ordeal for the reality TV star, with several stops and starts along the way as he figures out how best to get clean and struggles through ongoing addiction battles, specifically with alcohol. We can only hope that this time proves to be the charm. Judging by the way he’s looking and acting here, well, we’re optimistic he’s about ready to turn the corner! Hopefully for good!!!
Lord knows he’s been through quite a bit — and put his family and friends through hell — as he’s worked to get sober at various points in his life. He says he’s still down to make more Jackass movies, though, so perhaps there will be more of that in the future with him, Johnny, Steve-O, and the rest of the remaining cast.
Hmmm… maybe a Jackass nostalgia tour, anyone?!
