Steve-O Is Going To Make It

'Jackass' star Steve-O is doing "really good", according to his co-star
Chris Pontius.

Steve-O was admitted to a psychiatric ward at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center last week over fears he was suicidal, and Chris believes it
was only a matter of time before his close friend had to seek help for his
mental wellbeing.

He told BANG Showbiz: "I haven't spoken to him but he is doing really good.

He is doing great. I think to be on 'Jackass' everybody has got to be kind
of crazy and we all hang out together and we don't really think about it.

"It didn't come as a shock, no. Everybody's sanity on 'Jackass' is like a
progressive illness. Everybody is getting crazier and crazier."

The daredevil, real name Stephen Glover, was charged with cocaine possession
just a week before being hospitalized, after police were called to his house
to deal with a complaint he was vandalizing his neighbor's property.

Chris, 33, believes Steve-O's drug use is symptomatic of a deep-rooted
psychological problem.



He added: "I think when people are abusing drugs it is probably a symptom of
a bigger problem that they need to address. And that is what Steve-O is
doing at the moment, getting to the root of it."

Chris explained the 'Jackass' crew are planning a big welcome home party
when Steve leaves the facility.

The star - who is currently promoting new DVD 'Jackass 2.5 Uncut' - said:
"Nothing is ever going to be sedate and quiet with us."
