Sharon Osbourne Turned Down An Opportunity For Ozzy To Audition For ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’

During a recent appearance on Billy Corgan’s The Magnificent Others podcast, Sharon Osbourne revealed that she once turned down a film audition for her husband Ozzy Osbourne to appear in Pirates of the Caribbean. Sharon, who is also the heavy metal legend’s manager, called the huge missed opportunity “the biggest mistake I ever made for Ozzy.” Sharon expressed regret for ultimately rejecting Ozzy’s opportunity to audition for a role in the blockbuster film series, and looking back, she acknowledges “wouldn’t he have been perfect?” Corgan agreed, replying, “He would have been perfect! Maybe it’s not too late, but God bless.” Ozzy would have fit right in with other rock stars – including The Rolling Stones‘ Keith Richards and Sir Paul McCartney – who made cameo appearances in the wildly successful Pirates of the Caribbean film series, which went on to gross $4.5 billion in box office revenue around the world.
