“Did not know that I had gnarly COVID and my body was shutting down.
I went into four seizures, each one lasting 10 to 20 minutes.
And on the fourth one I bit my tongue so hard it was nearly fallen off.
It got so swollen and puffy it wouldn’t fit in my mouth.
And I was drinking the infected blood, which gave me pneumonia as well.”
“I couldn’t breathe without a tube down my throat.
“I spent eight days in there.
Dude, when they took that tube out I felt like I sucked on Darth Vader’s dick.”
Though perhaps best known for his association with theJackassfranchise, Margera was largely absent from 2021’sJackass Forever.
