Jackass star Poopies was joined onstage by an enormous white anaconda after he accepted the MTV Movie and TV Award for best kiss.

The comedian, real name Sean McInerney, was given the accolade for a stunt in which he was made to lock lips with a snake during the comedy prank movie.

In a short acceptance speech he said the win was “a dream come true” and thanked his Jackass production crew and co-stars including Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O.

He also joked that he and the snake from the film had “broken up” now that he was “a big time movie star” before the giant reptile was brought onstage by six crew members.

The prankster gave the snake a kiss, adding: “I am so glad that thing did not bite me.”
