Jack Osbourne has come a long way since he was catapulted onto our TV screens in 2001 with his family in the Emmy award winning reality TV show The Osbournes. He is no longer a teenager dependent on alcohol and drugs, struggling to cope with the pressures of worldwide fame. He is now a sober, engaging young man with a brand new focus in life.
Reality TV introduced the world to Jack, and now it's giving him one of his most creative outlets. While taking part in TV show Celebrity Detox, Jack overcame his childhood fear of heights and found a new passion for extreme sports, especially mountain and rock climbing. Since then Jack has travelled the globe, mastering some of the world's most challenging sports, while being filmed for hit show Adrenaline Junkie.
Since starting the show Jack has run with bulls in Pamplona, climbed sea cliffs without a harness, fought a Thai martial arts expert and abseiled the Gorges Du Verdon in the South of France. But his biggest goal so far was conquering the mountain El Capitan, which took months of training. Now Jack has learned that when you enjoy life and put your mind to something, there is no stopping you. Jack has never been one to shy away from danger and he has found his perfect match in extreme sports, which pushes him to his limit every time.
While starring in The Osbournes Jack appeared in Dawson’s Creek, That 70s Show and Austin Powers: Goldmember. He also starred in New York Minute. Since then, Jack has also turned his hand to TV presenting, has co-hosted Celebrity Wrestling, CD:UK, Ministry Of Mayhem and the MTV Awards in Rome, proving just how comfortable he now is in front of the camera.
In his autobiography, Twenty One Years Gone, Jack is brutally frank about his life so far and talks openly about the highs, the lows, his descent into addiction, how he got his life back on track and his new-found passion for extreme sports.
Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie 3 sees him travelling the world in pursuit of even more extreme adventures.
