JACK OSBOURNE: “We Keep Having Dreams About OZZY, And In The Dreams He’s Laughing”

Jack Osbourne has shared deeply personal reflections on his father, Ozzy Osbourne, while also offering a major update on the long-anticipated Ozzy Osbourne biopic during a special holiday episode of SiriusXM‘s Influenced with Billy Morrison.

Appearing on the show, which airs monthly on Ozzy’s Boneyard, Jack revealed that he and his family have been repeatedly dreaming about the Black Sabbath icon — and that those dreams have carried a surprising sense of comfort. “It’s happened to me, it’s happened to my wife and my daughters,” Jack said. “We all keep having dreams about him… and in the dreams, he’s laughing.”

According to Jack, the dreams share a common message. “He’s saying, ‘Just stop fucking crying,'” he recalled, prompting Morrison to reassure him: “He’s good, Jack. He’s not in pain.” Jack agreed, noting that every family member describes Ozzy the same way — laughing.

Morrison added that he, too, has dreamed of Ozzy, reinforcing the emotional weight of the moment for longtime fans of the metal legend.

Beyond reflection, Jack also confirmed that the long-discussed Ozzy Osbourne biopic is finally gathering momentum. “We are in full steam into the next phase of development with his movie,” he said, revealing the project is an acted biographical film that has been in development with Sony Studios for nearly six years.

While Ozzy famously joked about wanting Denzel Washington to portray him, Jack confirmed that casting has gone in a different direction. “Sadly, it’s not Denzel,” he laughed. Still, he teased that the chosen actor is “phenomenal,” with a director already attached and a script rewrite currently underway.

Jack also shared Ozzy‘s characteristically blunt reaction to updates on the project while he was alive. “He’d just go, ‘I don’t give a shit. Just tell me when it’s out so I can go see it.'”
