This is just too bizarre...read below:
Jackass star Johnny Knoxville is being sued by for £5.3million by an actor who had his penis clamped in a mousetrap for a stunt.
Perry Caravello says he was severely injured when the trap crushed his manhood as he appeared on a radio talkshow with Knoxville.
He claims Knoxville promised to pay him £5million for agreeing to the prank.
Mr Caravello has filed legal documents in a US court alleging fraud and negligence. He says he was further humiliated when footage of the stunt was videotaped and posted on the Internet without his permission.
In addition, he is seeking payment for a low-budget TV movie, Windy City Heat, which cast him as the victim of an elaborate practical joke.
It showed the fame-hungry 34-year-old being tricked into believing he had won the starring role in an action film.
Mr Caravello alleges that Knoxville promised £5million for promoting the film's DVD release on DJ Adam Corolla's radio show – on the condition that he performed the mousetrap stunt.
The legal papers filed at Los Angeles Superior Court state that the actor 'agreed to do so and, much to his emotional tranquillity and to his physical harm, was severely injured when the trap literally went on his manhood'.
The document adds: 'The plaintiff was promised by Johnny Knoxville that he would be paid £5million if he placed his penis in a mousetrap.
'As a direct result, the plaintiff had to seek medical assistance for said injuries, pain and humiliation.
