Steve-O has done it again and was detained after pulling off another precarious stunt .

The Jackass star announced Friday that hed leapt from London s Tower Bridge the day before. He landed in the River Thames, only to be met by police. Steve-O said they were totally cool, however, and that they understood he was merely promoting his latest special.

When I jumped off the bridge, I expected I might get in trouble, but I knew they couldnt deport me because Im British, the daredevil, who was born Stephen Glover in Londons Wimbledon district, told Entertainment Weekly on Friday .

Steve-O was previously arrested for scaling a 100-foot crane in Los Angeles to protest SeaWorld and its alleged animal abuses . He says he wasnt nervous to jump off the Tower Bridge, however, as hed pulled that one off before.

I knew I could do it because I did the exact same thing almost 20 years ago, Steve-O told Entertainment Weekly. It got a little bit of press 20 years ago, they said I might be charged, but this time, the cops were swarming me by the time I got out of the water.

It was maybe more of a police response than was necessary, but bless their hearts because they were so nice, he continued.

Steve-O became famous by agreeing to arguably the crudest stunts of anyone on the outrageous MTV reality show. A former drug user, he became sober after his Jackass peers staged an intervention in 2008 , and he eventually embarked on a successful stand-up career .
