David Joseph England [3] (born December 30, 1969) [1] is an American stunt performer, television personality, and former professional snowboarder. He is best known as one of the stars of the reality stunt show Jackass .
England was once a professional snowboarder and is featured in several of Kingpin Productions' snowboarding videos, including "Bulletproof" and "Back in Black". He was founder of the snowboarding magazine Skintight Magazine. He once worked as the field editor for Snowboarder Magazine and was the editor of Blunt magazine, the sister snowboarding magazine to skateboarding's Big Brother . [4] England also appears in the 2008 film Shred , co-starring Tom Green. The film, about a snowboarding school run by England's character, was filmed at Big White, a ski resort in Canada. [5]
England gets involved in stunts and pranks much like the rest of the cast, but he is the first one to participate in something when fecal matter is involved. England proclaimed on the Jackass Number Two DVD commentary that he is the "world's first professional shitter" because he gets paid to defecate on camera.
In Jackass 2.5 , England jokingly claims that he is the only proven person in the world that is capable of defecating and even vomiting on command, although he finds urinating on command to be difficult.
In one stunt on Jackass, England eats a number of uncooked ingredients that he thinks would be suitable for making an omelette. He then forces himself to become sick by eating raw eggs and proceeds to vomit into a bowl, which he then fries in a pan. Finally, he and Steve-O, very enthusiastically, eat the omelette he has just "made." One of England's skits ("Poo Diaper") almost did not make it to TV. This skit involves England reaching into a garbage can and eating out of a baby's diaper containing chocolate pudding. Johnny Knoxville told MTV to keep the skit, and after many debates MTV let Jackass keep "Poo Diaper".
England is married to Shawna England, with whom he has two sons, named Van and Clyde. He also has two children from a previous relationship. As mentioned in Jackass 3.5 (2011), England has a reputation for turning into 'Darf', his drunken ill-tempered persona, when he drinks alcohol to excess. He has spent brief periods in jail in the United States, New Zealand, and Japan. [6]
During the Bathroom Break Podcast with former Jackass and CKY crew member Chris Raab, England stated he lost one of his testicles after suffering a double hernia during a snowboard accident in New Zealand in 1997. [7] This was later mentioned again in Jackass 4.5 (2022).
