Sharon Osbourne regrets stopping husband Ozzy from auditioning for 'Pirates'
What's the story
Sharon Osbourne, the 72-year-old wife and manager of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne (76), recently lamented a missed opportunity in her husband's acting career.
On The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan, the TV star disclosed that she had stopped Ozzy from auditioning for the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise.
"Do you want to know the biggest mistake I ever made with Ozzy?" Osbourne asked Corgan before revealing this.
Regret expressed
'He got offered to go and read for Pirates...'
Osbourne told Corgan, "He got offered to go and read for Pirates of the Caribbean, and I've never said this to anyone, and I said no." She then wondered what could have been, saying: "Now wouldn't he have been perfect?"
Corgan agreed with her sentiment.
Osbourne further mentioned Johnny Depp's successful inclusion of another rockstar, Keith Richards in the franchise as Captain Teague in two films.
