Knoxville: I'm not so tough

Johnny Knoxville has laughed off his hardman image, insisting in reality he is a big softie who hates fighting.

The Hollywood actor rose to fame for performing crazy stunts on MTV show Jackass - but refuses to get rough when the cameras are off.

Knoxville told Spin magazine: "People think by challenging me they're going to show they're tough. But I'm not tough.

"Decent drinker. Not such a bad kisser. But not a great fighter."
