Johnny Knoxville showed off his skills — and some serious biceps — on the speed bag in a new Instagram video
The Jackass alum, 54, joked “it took me 10 damn takes” before he could “pull off this silly no look bit” when he impressively maintained his rhythm while looking away from the bag to the camera
The actor jokes that his punches are “so light I have to tie strings around my gloves so they don’t float away”
Johnny Knoxville showed off some impressive biceps — and boxing skills — while hitting the speed bag at the gym.
The Jackass alum, 54, posted a video to Instagram on Saturday, Aug. 9, of himself taking steady shots at the bag, all while joking about his prowess in the caption.
“If boxer Nicolino Locche was known as the ‘Hands of Sponge,’ I’m the ‘Hands of Whip Cream.’ My punches are so light I have to tie strings around my gloves so they don’t float away,” Knoxville quipped.
He even called attention to a point in the video where he maintained his rhythm while casting a nonchalant glance at the camera, noting, “Hell it took me 10 damn takes to pull off this silly no look bit.”
The Sweet Dreams star continued: “I can’t even call myself the worst boxer in the gym because I’m obviously not a boxer. I play patty cakes with white mittens on. But I love training and trying to learn new things. Maybe one day I will be able to punch hard enough to pop a zit but I doubt it.”

He ended the video chuckling and waving at the camera, but while Knoxville may have ben blasé about his skills, others certainly weren’t.
“Look at those arms!💪” commented fellow Jackass star Chris Pontius.

“Is butter bean okay?” commented another — a reference to a scene in the first Jackass movie where Knoxville sparred with champion boxer Butterbean. In the 2002 comedy, Butterbean knocked the stunt performer out, prompting a delirious Knoxville to ask “Is Butterbean okay?”
Musician Jason DeVore added his own punny contribution, writing, “More like Johnny ‘Knucks’ville! 🥊 👊🏻 💪🏻 💥,” prompting the actor to reply, “I see what u did.”
