The entertainer buried several keepsakes inside the concrete. Those items included his handprints and signature. He also added a one-pound anvil and his medallion marking 18 years of sobriety.
However, TMZ reports that Steve-O wanted one more item representing Jackass. Johnny Knoxville had previously made butt plugs for the cast. Each one featured director Jeff Termaine’s head.
