Jack Osbourne

Jack Joseph Osbourne was born on November 8, 1985, in London, England. The youngest child of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, he spent his early years moving between the UK and Los Angeles. Diagnosed with dyslexia at age 8 and ADHD at 10, Osbourne sought an internship at Virgin Records at 14, where his mother was managing The Smashing Pumpkins. He later became an A&R scout for Epic Records and assisted his mother in managing his father’s Ozzfest festival.

Osbourne gained public recognition in 2002 through the MTV reality series “The Osbournes,” which documented his family’s life and earned an Emmy Award in 2002. Following the show, he appeared in films such as “Austin Powers: Goldmember” (2002) and “New York Minute” (2004), and made cameos in TV series like “That ’70s Show” and “Dawson’s Creek.” In 2003, he hosted his own show, “Union Jack,” on Channel 4. Demonstrating a focus on fitness, Osbourne hosted the ITV2 show “Celebrity Wrestling: Bring It On!” and subsequently, “Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie” (2005-2009), where he engaged in physically demanding activities such as climbing El Capitan and participating in a Muay Thai martial arts camp.

His career further expanded into production and paranormal investigation. Osbourne produced a documentary about his father, “God Bless Ozzy Osbourne,” which premiered in 2011. He also directed his father’s music video for “Life Won’t Wait” in 2010. From 2016 to 2018, he co-starred with his father in the History Channel series “Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour.” More recently, Osbourne has hosted several paranormal television shows on the Travel Channel, including “Jack Osbourne’s Night of Terror,” “Portals To Hell” (2019–2022, 34 episodes as executive producer), and “The Osbournes Want To Believe” (2020–2021).
