Pontius was born on July 16, 1974, in Pasadena, California,[2] and raised in San Luis Obispo.[3] As a teenager, he met his future Jackass collaborators when he was interviewed in skateboarding magazine Big Brother.[4] Pontius went on to write for Big Brother, and was part of the Jackass cast starting with the first episode in 2000.[5]
Pontius mostly performs stunts involving nudity, such as him dancing out in public while wearing nothing but a thong. He also mostly performs stunts involving his penis, most notably getting it bitten by a snake, and flying an RC helicopter with his penis by tying thread around it to the RC helicopter.[6] He also performs stunts and pranks which involve playing different characters, such as dressing up as the devil while walking through the streets and holding up a sign that reads "Keep God out of California".
In 2004, Pontius married Claire Nolan. The couple split in 2009. In 2011, Nolan filed for divorce and finalized in 2013.[7][8][9] Pontius is currently married to Mae Quijada. They have one son born in 2019.[10][11]
