Full Jack Osbourne Biography
Jack Joseph Osbourne (born November 8, 1985 in London) is the son of musician Ozzy Osbourne and music manager Sharon Osbourne, which also makes him the grandson of Don Arden. He has two older sisters, Aimee Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne, and also two elder half-siblings; Jessica Osbourne and Louis John Osbourne, both of whom are from Ozzy's previous marriage to Thelma Riley. Jack also has an adopted brother Robert Mercato, a long-time friend of the Osbourne family who was adopted after his mother died of colon cancer in 2002. The Osbournes have many pets, and Jack owns a female bulldog named Lola.
The only aspect of his life that constant moving did affect was his school life, and Jack soon despised going to school, which was not helped by the fact that when he was eight he was diagnosed with a form of dyslexia where he can read a word but it takes a long time to comprehend the meaning of that word, and when he was ten he was diagnosed with ADHD. At the time, Jack was studying at a Christian school in L.A., but their attitude was “pray hard and you’ll get better” and Jack returned to England again for a year, before returning to L.A. This time Jack did not return to the Christian school, but was enrolled into a special needs school, and was prescribed Ritalin to combat his ADHD. Jack had been on the road with Ozzy throughout much of his childhood, and when he was fourteen he was offered an internship at Virgin Records whilst Sharon was managing The Smashing Pumpkins on this label.
After Sharon stopped managing The Smashing Pumpkins, Jack soon started A&R scouting for Epic Records as Ozzy had been on Epic for many years. Jack also helped Sharon in managing his father's annual touring festival, Ozzfest, through advising her about up-and-coming bands.
Jack shot to fame in 2002 after appearing in his family's reality television show The Osbournes, which was aired on MTV and won an Emmy Award in 2002 When inititally approached about the idea of the show, Jack said to Sharon "I don't want to be famous." In the show Jack was mostly shown as a rebellious teenager who liked to party and fight with Kelly. In a song advertising The Osbournes Jack Black sings the line "and he's got a big 'fro on his head", describing Jack's curly hair that grew longer until he eventually shaved it off in the third series of the show.
Post-rehab, Osbourne went on in 2003 to star in his own show on Channel 4 entitled Union Jack. In 2004 he hit the big screen for a second time to play a small role in New York Minute, a film starring the Olsen twins in which he plays a music promoter named Justin. In 2005 Jack started to show more of an interest in fitness through co-hosting the ITV2 show, Celebrity Wrestling:Bring It On!. In February 2005 Jack appeared in Extreme Celebrity Detox in which he took part in T'ai Chi and climbing exercises, which possibly inspired him to appear in his own programme Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie, which was produced by the same production company (Ginger Productions) as Extreme Celebrity Detox'.
He once claimed to be considering a career in law enforcement and was on reality television show Armed and Famous. The show was pulled from CBS in January 2007, and Jack is being sued by a woman from Muncie, Indiana whose house was accidentally raided during the filming on the show.
Jack's recently filmed a programme for the BBC's Saving Planet Earth series. In the programme Jack travelled to Namibia to highlight the tensions between elephants and the local people, and what can be done so that both groups can live peacefully beside one another. Whilst filming, Jack had a near-miss when an elephant was threatening to charge at him, but luckily the elephant walked off and Jack was unharmed.
Jack continued with his drug use until he realised "I never want to feel this way ever again" and admitted himself into an adolescent psych ward, as that was the only place that could legally detox adolescents. After spending 10 days detoxing, he was then moved to an adolescent rehabilitation centre in Malibu, where he enrolled in the Twelve Step Program. Jack has been clean since he left rehab, apart from when he accidentally had a shot of vodka jelly, mistaking it for normal jelly.
In February 2005, Jack had a "high value amount" of jewellery stolen from his suitcase at LAX, and offered a £100,000 reward for any information that could lead to prosecution.
Osbourne has been connected to many women, and claims that he is a "she-bitch man whore". Although regarding romantic relationships, Osbourne is reported to have said that "having a girlfriend is like communism; on paper (it) sounds awesome; in reality (it) never really works out." In the past, Osbourne has confirmed relationships with Kimberly Stewart (whose old breast implants remain nailed to his wall) as well as model Kate Moss following a kiss L.A. nightclub Teddies, but when the media claimed that they were an item Jack replied "not the worst rumor, but a little off the mark" Other love interests have included Brianne O'Conner, half-sister of Kurt Cobain, dancer Lydia Worth and Paris Hilton, who Sharon Osbourne recently exposed as having a sexual relationship with Jack, although Osbourne has recently denied this.. |
