Johnny Knoxville nearly lost his testicles when a 'Jackass' stunt went
wrong.

The 36-year-old actor - who regularly completes dangerous stunts on the MTV
show - was rushed to hospital after his attempt to back flip on a motorcycle
went wrong.

He wrote on his official blog: "I've just got back from Oklahoma where I was
shooting 'Mat Hoffman's tribute to Evel Knievel.' I had a ball, too, even
though I almost lost my own balls in the process!

"I don't want to give too much away because it doesn't air until February
23, but let's just say before I did a back-flip on a motorcycle I should
have learned how to ride one first.

"I have to go now. I have to empty the p**s bag on my leg that I have to
wear for the next two weeks until my torn urethra heals."

Accompanying Johnny's blog was a picture of two pairs of his trousers which
were covered in blood around the groin area.

This is not the first time father-of-one Johnny has been taken to hospital following a botched stunt.

While filming 'Jackass: The Movie' in 2002, he was knocked out by one of his
cast mates and had to be treated for concussion.
