Rachel Wolfson joined the cast of the Jackass franchise in 2022 as the only female member of the group and she returned for the final film, Jackass: Best and Last.
The 39-year-old comedian was just 13 years old when the show premiered on MTV and it helped her develop her brand of comedy, which led to a call from Johnny Knoxville himself.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Rachel is opening up about how she got cast.
In 2020, Rachel went viral for a comedy clip she posted in which she joked about being the daughter of the judge who sent O.J. Simpson to prison, which is a true fact. She joked, “My mom was the judge who put O.J. in prison. So basically, O.J. Simpson got sent to prison by the same woman who sent me to my room. But we both got out.”
Rachel soon after received a DM from Johnny. He asked her, “Hey, what’s your number? I want to ask you about something.”
“He calls me, and it’s really him on the phone. I was like, this doesn’t seem real,” Rachel told Rolling Stone. He asked if she was interested in being involved in a 20th anniversary project for Jackass, which turned into the movie Jackass Forever.
“I went in for a meeting soon after, and the meeting was like five minutes — clearly we all have ADHD, because it was just like, ‘Would you want to come play with us?’” Rachel said. “I didn’t know I was auditioning, essentially — this is my first real Hollywood experience. So I came in for, like, a two-day test shoot, and then they kept contacting me to come back.”
Jackass: Best and Last is now in theaters!
