About this listen

Apple Books Pick

Brandon Novak, an actor known for the films Jackass and Viva La Bam, among others, was a teenage skateboarder, but his lust for heroin led to a junkie’s destiny on the streets of Baltimore.

Arrests, rehabs, and drug-tortured love triangles consumed Novak’s life, until his childhood friend and Jackass alumnus Bam Margera guided him to MTV fame. But Novak’s stardom led him down a self-destructive path that forced him to sculpt his future.

This suspenseful memoir is interspersed with action, humor, and inspiration.

Thanks Brandon for taking the glamour and "coolness" out of drug use/ abuse. Unfortunately his skating talent was never fully realised due to addiction. The amazing thing is through so much loss he has discovered his value in the world. Brandon has inspired others by falling down 1000 times and getting up 1001 times.

Brandon's honestly is admirable. .
