JACK OSBOURNE On OZZY: 'I've Never Seen Him More Focused, Honest And Straight-Up'

September 15, 2008

Ozzy Osbourne's son Jack has commented further on the upcoming documentary film which he is executive-producing on Ozzy along with Jack's mother, Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's longtime manager.

The film, which is being directed by Mike Piscitelli, and written and produced by Jordan Tappis, will be the first release from Jacko Productions, according to Variety.com.

"[MTV's 'The Osbournes' reality TV show] couldn't show the darkness and so they used all the goofy things, but that's not really who he was at the time," Jack Osbourne said. "Dad has been sober for three years, and I've never seen him more focused, honest and straight-up. He refuses to do a book, because he's terribly dyslexic, can't write and doesn't want a ghostwriter, so I thought, why not make this his talking book?"

Jack added, "I want people to see John Osbourne as the guy I grew up with, the tormented, complex musician whose personal demons manifest themselves in so many crazy, unique ways. He’s agreed to it but is putting up his guard, massively afraid of putting his true self out there on display for people to see."
