The dude of dudes - Johnny Knoxville!!! I personally think that a picture of Johnny in the dictionary next to the word ‘dude’ is appropriate.
You know it’s a great day when you get to meet the man himself, even if we were restricted to a hotel room in Central London.
When I had the chance to photograph Knoxville, I thought I’d get to use some of my more edgy ideas - however, they were turned down ahead of the shoot. So I livened up to the shoot with a few milder ideas that I hadn’t pitched up ahead. Lastly, I left my iron, that I had brought to iron out a fabric backdrop, lying visible next to the set. When I started shooting Johnny I suggested more things. He said no to some of them, but came back with some crazy Johnny poses. Then he spotted the iron and picked it up - just as I had hoped - Johnny continued by Ironing his bum and crotch - classic Knoxville style!
