Knoxville: 'I'm trying to be a good dad'

Johnny Knoxville has revealed his intention to curb his daredevil antics after becoming a father once again.

The Jackass prankster, whose wife Naomi Nelson gave birth to son Rocko in December, told WENN that he is taking steps to avoid a repeat of an incident involving his other child, 13-year-old daughter Maddison.

"I hope I'm a good father. Sometimes I get excited and things happen and I'm trying to do good," he explained.

"I was babysitting my daughter and her friends, they were all at the house one day and I set up the backyard as a shooting gallery with helium balloons and whatnot, and we were having fun shooting the helium balloons when the cops burst in and ordered me down to the ground with guns.

"[Cops] came in my house! Apparently someone said there were shots fired in the neighbourhood."
