Jack Osbourne recently shared his fond memories of working on the set of “Dawson’s Creek,” despite his mother Sharon Osbourne’s initial warnings. The 37-year-old son of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and former “X Factor” judge Sharon Osbourne, reminisced about his time on the popular teen drama series during a joint interview with his mother and sister Kelly Osbourne.
Sharon, who has always been vocal about her concerns regarding the entertainment industry, had initially warned Jack about the potential pitfalls of working on a television set. She expressed her apprehensions about the influence of technology and social media on young people, calling it “insane” that children have access to such platforms. “The worst thing that can happen to a child is an iPad and an iPhone,” she told People. Jack, however, disagreed with his mother’s stance, stating that his experience on the “Dawson’s Creek” set was nothing short of enjoyable.
Despite Sharon’s concerns, Jack found the environment on the “Dawson’s Creek” set to be welcoming and fun. He recalled how the cast and crew made him feel at home, and how the experience helped him grow both personally and professionally. Jack’s time on the show allowed him to explore his passion for acting and gave him a taste of the entertainment industry, which he later pursued through various other projects.
Sharon, while still wary of the impact of technology and social media on young minds, admitted that she is not entirely opposed to the idea of a family-wide TV show featuring her grandchildren. The former reality TV star, who is a grandmother to Kelly’s 16-month-old son Sidney and Jack’s daughters Pearl, 10, Andy Rose, seven, Minnie Theodora, five, and 21-month-old Maple Artemis, said, “You should never say never, but I don’t really think about it. It’s not something I go, ‘Oh God, I’ve got to get back into the world of reality, and I want to do this and I want to do that.’”
In September, Sharon shared a heartwarming image on Instagram, posing with all five of her grandchildren. The photo showed her holding grandson Sidney and granddaughter Maple, surrounded by her other granddaughters Minnie, Andy, and Pearl. She captioned the image, “My Cup Runneth Over,” accompanied by a red heart emoji.
Jack’s positive experience on the “Dawson’s Creek” set stands in contrast to some of the more tumultuous moments in Sharon’s career. Sharon has had her fair share of celebrity feuds, including a recent spat with Amanda Holden. After Holden criticized Sharon and Louis Walsh’s behavior on “Celebrity Big Brother,” Sharon fired back, warning Holden that she had “picked on the wrong ugly stepsister.” This feud is just one of many that Sharon has been involved in over the years, including conflicts with Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue, and Bruce Dickinson.
Despite these controversies, Sharon has always been a strong advocate for her family. She has supported Jack through his various endeavors, including his ghost hunting show “Night of Terror.” During one episode, Sharon experienced a medical emergency that many feared was due to being “possessed” by a ghost. The incident, which took place at the haunted Glen Tavern Inn in Santa Paula, California, saw Sharon rushed to the hospital after collapsing and becoming unresponsive. Tests later revealed no medical issues, leaving the cause of her collapse a mystery.
Jack’s ghost hunting adventures have taken him to various haunted locations around the world, including the Queen Mary ocean liner turned hotel in California and Utah’s Uinta Basin, known for its UFO encounters. Despite the eerie experiences, Jack continues to pursue his passion for the paranormal, much like he pursued his acting career on the set of “Dawson’s Creek.”
Sharon’s concerns about technology and social media remain, but she continues to support her children and grandchildren in their pursuits. Whether it’s Jack’s ghost hunting expeditions or potential future family TV shows, the Osbourne family remains a close-knit unit, navigating the challenges and opportunities of the entertainment industry together.
