Posting on Instagram to update fans on his latest antics, the Jackass star shared a series of photos of himself jumping on top of one of London’s iconic double decker buses while waving the UK’s national flag.
"I asked for a professional photographer in London to shoot me illegally climbing onto the roof of a big, red double decker bus, and @mikechudley absolutely killed it," he captioned the images. "The bus driver was really cool about the surprise, too - I promised him we would obscure anything identifiable about him or his individual bus!"
