Speaking on digital station XFM’s Rock Show, Ozzy revealed his son Jack Osbourne, who has initiated the project apparently because he feels his father has been mis-represented in the media, set up the interview for the new film. “I said ‘He ain’t got the time to do an interview about me, he’s got thousands of things to do,’ and Jack said ‘I’ve asked him and he agreed and he’s done it’,” Ozzy explained. “I said ‘Whaaaat?!’. Now I’m as excited as everyone else to see it but he won’t let me see the video.”
Later, Ozzy also told of how he asked his son to present a balanced picture of his life in the film which is set to finished shortly, as he believes ‘everyone is a bit of a dick sometimes’. “I said to him ‘Jack it can’t be how wonderful I am all the time because I’m not that way all the time, everybody wakes up in a bad mood, everybody is a bit of a dick sometimes and everybody has a good day’,” he commented.
Ozzy’s tenth solo album ‘Scream‘ was released in June, and peaked at 12 and 4 on the UK and US charts respectively.
