In addition to Viva La Bam, Phil appeared on the second season of VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club, a reality series focused on helping celebrities lose weight and adopt healthier lifestyles. At the beginning of the show, Phil weighed approximately 353 pounds (160 kg). By the end of the season, he had successfully lost more than 27 pounds (12 kg), reaching around 326 pounds (148 kg). While he did not set any records on the show, his participation was notable for the emotional motivation behind his weight loss. Phil explained that he sought to live a longer and healthier life in order to spend more time with his granddaughter.
Phil Margera is the father of two well-known entertainment figures—Jess and Bam Margera. Jess Margera is a drummer and musician, best known for his work with bands such as CKY, Gnarkill, Fuckface Unstoppable, Viking Skull, and The Company Band. He is also a songwriter and vocalist.
Bam Margera, Phil's younger son, is a professional skateboarder and television personality. He gained international fame through the MTV series Jackass, where he appeared as a central cast member. Bam not only starred in the Jackass movies, but also co-wrote and directed several associated projects, including Haggard and Minghags. He has been affiliated with Team Element, a demonstration team for Element Skateboards. Their family home, featured often in Viva La Bam, sits on a sizable property that includes a skate park, emphasizing Bam’s deep ties to skateboarding culture.
Phil Margera is married to April Margera, a hairstylist, cook, and reality TV personality in her own right. The couple has maintained a strong family presence in media, with multiple members—including Phil’s now-deceased brother Vincent Margera—frequently appearing together on television. Vincent, also known as Don Vito, was a notable figure on Viva La Bam for his eccentric personality prior to his passing in 2015.
Phil has Italian ancestry and, like his wife, has a background in cooking. He is known for his deep affection for his granddaughter, often speaking fondly of the time he spends with her. In addition to television, Phil also made a digital appearance in the popular video game Tony Hawk’s Underground 2.
