Bam Margera shared a glimpse of his everyday life today, posting a picture together with his toddler son Phoenix during their trip to Los Angeles. The kid humorously ‘slimed’ his famous father. The image serves as a hallmark of an exceptionally close bond between a ‘best dad’ and his kid for the ex-‘Jackass’ artist who has been candidly switching between personal crises throughout the years. It is safe to say that the public reacted positively to this small father-son interaction, thus signifying that Margera is indeed on the right path which leads to being stable and family-centered.

The picture shows Bam Margera with a huge smile and his son Phoenix Wolf Margera, who already looks like he is going to cover his dad with the children’s green slime—the stuff that was a hit on TV for kids in those days. Margera captioned it as, ‘Slimed by Phoenix the Wolf! LA, CA ❤️😎’—a very concise yet deep expression of this parenting moment. The fact that it occurred in Los Angeles implies that Margera is still playing a large role in the West Coast while at the same time sharing the parenting duties.
This very moment is of such great importance that it is a burden for those already aware of Bam Margera’s great career change. The pro skateboarder and host of an MTV show came to the world through the ‘CKY’ video series and over the top ‘Jackass’ which turned into a phenomenon all over the world, thus letting the world know that he is among the most innovative entertainers. His personal issues have become public knowledge over the past couple of years and the display of the domestic normalcy thus has become a reason to be particularly to the long-time observers of his career.
The emotional reaction to Margera’s post was so powerful that it brought to light some of the deep emotional ties between him and his fans. One fan called the event very significant for him/her personally and wrote: ‘It’s hard to express how much peace I get from seeing this kind of stuff. You were my hero as a child, CKY was a way of life. I wish you all the best Bam, she is smiling, like heaven down on earth!!’ This indicates that Margera’s current stability has an impact on those who loved and admired his older works.
A number of comments associated Margera’s lost happiness with his recovery journey. ‘Cleansing brings only great things … Happiness. I am so proud of you my brother,’ expressed one supporter thereby particularly linking the cheerful moment to Margera’s well-known rehabilitation efforts. Another person said, ‘This is what it’s all about at the end,’ thus stressing the prime importance of family bonds over career success or public image.
The fatherhood motif was quite dominant in the comments. ‘This little boy has his dad back! ❤️❤️👏👏👏’ was the reaction of one of the commentators while another said, ‘So nice to see you with him Bam! I am sure you needed him.’ Such comments suggest that the audience perceives the father-son bond as a win-win situation, with Margera getting a purpose and stability as a father while his son gets an all-in father.
Some of the replies were humorous, which brought back the days when the humor of Margera’s fans was like these. One person wrote, ‘You better start hiding the plungers 🪠 lol Bam Bam Jr is coming lol,’ making a reference to the plumbing-related pranks that were a part of Margera’s earlier entertainment works. Another person jokingly opined, ‘You know he’s going to kick your ass just like you did to your dad lol,’ thus connecting Margera’s relationship with his son to his famous one with father Phil Margera.
The generational aspect of Margera’s parenting style came through in numerous comments. ‘Keep on the right road man 🙌🤚🏻🤚🏻 time to give him the father you had growin up you definitely got this 🔥❤️’ was a person’s encouragement that directly referred to the great paternal example set by Phil Margera. Hence, the onlookers seem to desire for Bam to replicate the supportive father-son relationship he himself experienced.
However, not all responses were purely celebratory; one of them was a comment offering support but with a restraint that read: ‘I cannot say that I am a “fan” of you. But this picture fills me with joy. Always wish this for you, bud.’ This more cautious endorsement at the same time recognizes the positive side of the moment and expresses hope for continued stability in Margera’s personal life.
Nonetheless, the overall atmosphere was one of enthusiastic support. ‘Awesome to see. Your fans love you Bam! Keep doing good! Everyone is rooting for you!’ was the usual response that reflected the group’s cheering from those who are following Margera’s journey. Someone else just noted, ‘Love it bro!! Smiles looking good on you,’ highlighting the happiness that is so evident in the photo.

For Bam Margera this public moment is more than just another post on social media—it marks a milestone in his never-ending personal metamorphosis. To tell the truth, the warm and welcoming feedback speaks to the fact that the journey always carries the footprints of the celebrity watching, but upon the touching of the universal themes of redemption, paternal bonds, and personal transformation behind it. One commenter summed up so aptly when he wrote, ‘Keep on smiling bam hope you’re having a great day ☺️’—a simple wish, that characterizes the hopeful outlook surrounding Margera’s current chapter. The image of the father and son having fun together is strong evidence of Margera’s determination to build a stable and happy family life that he can then share with the public. This reminds many of Joaquin Phoenix‘s earlier statements. Recently, Bam Margera enjoyed a surprise night out with Steel Panther. He also made headlines when he delivered a classic Rocky wake-up call at a convention. Additionally, Margera announced his final day at NYC Comic Con with a 5 pm bounce. He also documented Tom Schaar’s historic skateboarding feat at FDR.
