Jack was just 15 years old when he began filming The Osbournes in 2001.

The money he earned from the show led him into a downward spiral, as he revealed he became sober at 17 after battling addiction.

He shared with his campmates: “The filming itself didn’t bother me; it was the aftermath that troubled me.

“The attention that followed… I was quite shy.”

Jack went on: “They were only supposed to film us for three weeks for a pilot, but they ended up staying for nearly four years.

“Being constantly observed was really strange.

“There wasn’t much structure. I had too much freedom and abundance.

“When you give a 16-year-old a huge amount of money and no rules, it’s like, ‘Alright, let’s have some fun’.

“I got sober at 17. I was using a lot of alcohol, pills, and marijuana.”

After spending time in a rehabilitation center for young people, Jack achieved sobriety and claims he has never relapsed since.

To the surprise of viewers, Jack celebrated his 40th birthday just ten days ago.

“I love how candid Jack is,” commented one viewer. “How is he 40? Oh my gosh.”

Another remarked: “Admit it! Who just gasped upon learning that Jack Osbourne is in his 40s?”

Someone else added: “It’s unbelievable that Jack is 40. He definitely doesn’t look it.”

Another insisted: “He does NOT look 40.”
