Ehren McGhehey has been a part of the "Jackass" team since the beginning and has rarely backed down from a challenge. He has broken bones, lost teeth, and found himself in some pretty uncomfortable situations over the years, but he always bounced back, ready for more. However, when it came to one specific stunt for "Jackass Forever" that saw him strapped to a chair, doused with honey and salmon, and locked in a room with a bear, McGhehey wasn't so sure he'd make it out of there to tell the tale.

"I was in there for like half an hour, and for like the last serious 5 minutes, I was like, 'Okay, it's officially going to happen, it's going to eat my head now,'" McGhehey told the JoBlo Celebrity Interviews YouTube channel, explaining that throughout the entire bit he genuinely thought he was going to die. Thankfully, once it looked like the bear had plans to bite his hand off, the "Jackass" crew rushed in and put an end to the stunt, allowing McGhehey the chance to live on and suffer through more extreme pranks in the future.

"Jackass Forever" is currently in theaters.
