The Usual Intro

Bam Margera is one of the most talented skateboarders across America known for performing dangerous stunts. He has managed to amass a large fanbase through his roles in many successful movies and TV shows such as “Jackass movies,” “Viva La Bam,” and “Bam’s Unholy Union.” Appearing in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater video games played a significant role in establishing him as a star.

Before the Spotlight

Bam Margera was born on September 28, 1979, to Phil Margera and April Margera. He has an elder brother, Jess Margera, and is related to the famous Vincent “Don Vito” Margera.

At the age of three, he got his nickname “Bam” from his grandfather as he would intentionally run into walls. Bam attended East High School but dropped out after his junior year to focus on his career. His mother homeschooled him instead. Later, Margera got his GED.

The Journey to Success

Bam made his first appearance with his friends in the “Camp Kill Yourself” video series skateboarding and performing stunts. Following the success of CKY, Big Brother editor Jeff Tremaine recognized Margera’s potential and drafted him into MTV’s reality stunt show “Jackass.”

Bam rose to prominence in the early 2000s when he was given his own MTV series, “Viva La Bam.” He also created the Jackass spin-off “Bam’s Unholy Union,” shooting his wedding with Missy Rothstein. Bam’s exceptional performance in the film “Jackass 3D” broke box office records.

Using his fame, Margera ventured into various other businesses. His other shows include “Bam’s World Domination.” Margera’s starring performances in his shows led to him being nominated for awards and even winning some of them.

Apart from acting and directing, Bam has also managed to build a career in skateboarding. Margera was a member of ‘Team Element’ and received multiple sponsorships from skateboard companies. Bam also cemented himself in the directional industry by directing the highly anticipated movies “Haggard” and “MindHags.” Bam also produced a few music videos, which turned out to be a huge success. 

Margera’s other projects include his depiction as an animated character in some popular video games.

The Private Side

Margera was engaged to Jenn Rivell for seven years. The couple did several projects together, such as “Viva La Bam.” Unfortunately, things didn’t work out for the couple, and their relationship came to an end in 2005.

According to Margera, his former spouse did not take the break up well, and he even had to file for “protection from abuse” after Rivell broke into his house twice and inflicted physical abuse on him.

In 2006, Margera got engaged to Missy Rothstein, and they went to Dubai for their honeymoon. Soon, things got rough between the two and they began living in different cities. They would meet occasionally, and Rothstein even knew about Bam’s girlfriends. His second relationship also came to an end mainly because of his binge drinking. 

Margera then married Nicole Boyd in 2013. The couple had their first child in 2017 and named him Phoenix Wolf.
