"A "phenomenal, phenomenal actor" has been cast as Ozzy Osbourne in his upcoming biopic, a project that had been in development for years prior to his death in 2025. Ozzy's son, Jack Osbourne, relayed the casting news to SiriusXM in a new interview but refused to share any names. "We have a director attached, and we're doing a rewrite right now," Jack said, adding that his father approved of the biopic but showed little interest in following its progress."
""He just would go, 'I don't give a shit. Just tell me when it's out so I can go see it.'" Jack previously said the film would take place during the 20-year period from 1979 to 1999 - Osbourne's solo debut, Blizzard of Ozz, was released in 1980 - and would focus heavily on the relationship between Ozzy and his wife, Sharon Osbourne."
