It’s no secret that Dimitry has a problem with sweat. He can be sitting in an air conditioned office and his nose will still be beaded with perspiration. It’s just part of who he is, and I’d actually be more worried for his personal well being if his internal cooling system wasn’t running at full steam all hours of the day. What’s lesser known about Dimitry, though, is that he’s always dreamed of appearing in a large orchestrated dance number. So on the day we set out to film the closing wild west chapter on jackass number two, he busted his ass learning all the shit kickin’ steps and lip syncs. But through the combined effects of his concentration, rare physical exertion, and the incredible amount of heat generated by the set lighting, Dimitry’s pores opened up real, real wide and let loose the briny flood within, thereby busting through his snappy western outfit (luckily there were some industrial grade fans on hand to take the sheen off). Despite some initial missteps, Dimitry did in fact nail the number and can be seen for a split second in the final movie on the very far left of the screen just before the camera moves in on Bam Margera, Johnny Knoxville, and Ryan Dunn.
