Jack Osbourne Defends His Dad

August 26, 2008

Jack Osbourne is setting the record straight when it comes to the way people perceive his dad Ozzy. And he's even criticizing the MTV show that he and his family participated in!

He says, "I think The Osbournes, to a degree, tarnished the public's perception of my dad as a bit of a senile, funny, bumbling guy. Yeah, my dad can be that guy, but it's not him. "

But Jack isn't stopping there! He's enlisted the help of his buddies and Ozzy's former band mates to shoot a documentary about his father. Jack says his will replace the memoir his father never wrote because of his dyslexia.

His biggest concern is making sure he shows all sides of Ozzy. Jack says, "My dad's not an idiot – he's nothing short of a genius, in my opinion. He does have huge flaws, and we're trying to really paint an honest picture of that."

We love this idea! And can't wait to see it!

Good for you, Jack! One more thing...you look a lot better now than you did when you had that strange hair coloring and painting your fingernails. Guess kids go through those sort of phases. It even happened back in the days of your folks and me, as I can remember when my cousin, David, (who just turned 56 on September 5) had his hair (about the color of your dad's) closely cut but had these bangs, which he used peroxide on to turn them a kind of brassy blond. He looked so silly, and our eighth-grade teacher would call him Blondie when he called on him in class to answer a question. Anyway--except for that crazy style--David has always been really good looking. One time when we were in our late teens or early twenties, he wore his hair to the bottom of his head and parted in the middle. He also wore wire-rimmed glasses and looked so much like John Lennon! And, later in life, he had shorter hair and a moustache and reminded me of Jim Croce. So nothing wrong with David in the looks department--plus he's one great guy on the inside, too. But I guess he had to go through that phase with the blond bangs just like you did with your own style when you were younger. Again, best wishes at making this movie. I'm sure you'll do your dad proud!

I love Ozzie & Sharon & the kids! I saw Ozzie on the last "America's Got Talent", & he looked GREAT!!!!! I admire this family for keeping it "real", & their devotion to each other.
