What's This?

You can't really be mad at an 86-year old grandpa, no matter what he does, right? Well, Johnny Knoxville will test that theory in an upcoming flick titled "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa".

In the movie, which is essentially a spin-off from a series of sketches from the "Jackass" movies, Knoxville is disguised into 86-year old Irving Zisman, who's taking his grandson Billy on a journey across the U.S.

The problem with Zisman is that he's the worst grandpa ever, constantly boozed-up and obsessed with having "fun" — a concept which includes disguising his grandson into a girl and signing him up for the "Carolina Cutie Pie" pageant with a very special dance act.

While the movie definitely takes a cue from the "Borat" movies, Knoxville and the Jackass crew have always been good at taking the hidden camera concept to a new, obnoxiously delightful level.

The movie, directed by Jeff Tremaine of Jackass fame, is slated to hit theaters Oct. 25.
