Johnny Depp’s embarrassing foray into the world of Hollywood, music and glamor continues as Ozzy Osbourne becomes the next to snub the once-legendary actor in a subtle remark. While the heavy metal singer hasn’t said anything exclusively that could clearly delineate which side of the debate he belongs to, the Black Sabbath singer has insinuated his reluctance to have the fantastic beasts the actor portrays him on the big screen.

As the Osbourne family prepares for the biopic set in motion, the singer joins the ranks of Elton John and Elvis with his openness to portray the tumultuous years of his life and career.
Ozzy Osbourne slams Johnny Depp in subtle remark
John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne, born in 1948 in Birmingham, UK, rose to prominence in the 70s as the lead singer of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath. Soon after, as metal and grunge became increasingly dominant in the sphere of popular culture and among younger demographics, the singer-songwriter adopted the title “Prince of Darkness” and is currently designated as such.
While talking about his developing biopic, the singer remarks on who he prefers (or rather doesn’t) to play him in the film.
“I don’t want someone like Johnny Depp to play me. I’d rather have someone who is relatively unknown.
While the remark comes across as a sneaky stunt during Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s infamous libel trial, it could also be because Depp is well over the age limit for Osbourne’s biopic according to the script.

When asked if this should be a problem for the singer, the Prince of Darkness replied:
“I don’t care. I mean, if it’s a hit, great. As long as it’s not too slurpy and bullsh*ty, you know?”

Sharon Osbourne, wife and longtime manager of the heavy metal singer has also expressed her wish to have a story as close to the truth as possible depicted on screen, without the unnecessary burden of embellishments that stand as a marker. of one “Lighthouse movie”.
“Our film will be much more real. We don’t want it to be squeaky and shiny and all that. We don’t do it for children. It’s an adult film for adults.
The script for the untitled biopic will be adopted by Academy Award-nominated playwright and screenwriter Lee Hall with input from Aimée Osbourne. No release date has yet been set for the film’s premiere.
