Jackass star Steve-O reveals he was wearing a DIAPER when he taped himself to a BILLBOARD in LA

Jackass star Steve-O taped himself to a billboard in Hollywood during his latest stunt on Thursday morning. 

In an interview with Australia’s Kyle and Jackie O Show on KIIS FM radio, the 46-year-old revealed he wore a diaper in case he needed to use the bathroom while stuck on the sign. 

‘I had a pretty crazy day at the office!’ he told the radio hosts, speaking from his home just hours after being removed from the billboard by firefighters.

The hellraiser revealed that it was not too painful being unstuck when he was rescued.   

‘It wasn’t too big a deal,’ he said with a chuckle, before revealing that he’d prepared the stunt at home before leaving. 

‘At my house I lay on the floor and we made a big blanket of tape and we had that ready to fasten up there because time was of the essence,’ he said. 

Steve told the show he was up there, ‘about an hour and 45 minutes’ and thought he might be there a lot longer – and so he had some provisions in place in case he needed to use the bathroom. 

No kidding! 'I had a pretty crazy day at the office!' he told the radio hosts, speaking from his home just hours after being removed from the billboard by firefighters

‘I was wearing a diaper on the off chance that I would be up [for a while],’ he said with a laugh. 

He added he may have needed, ‘Maybe a poo, maybe a pee, maybe a bunch of both’.   

The prankster promoted his new comedy special Gnarly by climbing high above the streets in a parking lot on the 1700 block of Hollywood’s North Cahuenga Boulevard at around 9:15am.

Though he assured fans he was being kept safe by a ‘team of real professionals,’ worried onlookers called police and flagged him to the crime reporting app Citizen. Firefighters arrived on the scene an hour later to take him down.   

Steve-O shared a bird’s eye view of his stunt on Instagram. In the selfies the Wildboyz star – whose real name is Stephen Glover – perched on a tiny ledge while completely covered in black duct tape.

Though most would have been terrified, the MTV alum couldn’t wipe the grin off his face.   

Below you could see a small crowd gathering, many with their phones out to document the wild scene.

‘I’m attached to a billboard right now,’ the star – who is 12 years sober – announced on social media. ‘ [I] want to emphasize that a team of real professionals rigged everything safely.’  

‘There is zero chance of me falling, and it’s important to me that we not waste any valuable city resources on this. 

‘I’m happy to just hang out, and really want the world to know about this project I worked so hard on. It’s called Gnarly and, If you’re over 18, check it out at steveo.com! Thanks!’

Stepping in: He was rescued by firefighters over 90 minutes into the stunt

While he was adamant about not wanting ‘valuable city resources’ to get wasted, police and firefighters had no choice but to stop by the scene.  

When authorities arrived less than an hour later, Steve-o accepted defeat and began ripping off the tape.

As he untaped himself, he revealed he was only wearing disposable underwear and a harness underneath.
