9. Jack Osbourne
Jack Osbourne grew up in front of cameras after he was featured on the reality television series The Osbournes as a teenager. He struggled with the instant overnight fame and told MTV news about the bad press he was taking on board. He said, “I’d read things, like people criticising me. ‘You’re the least favorite Osbourne. Can we vote you out of the house?’ And I would be like, ‘F**k that,’ you know? But no one likes to read stuff about that, and I know you should probably never read s**t like that”.
He tried to take his life when he called his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend answered the phone. Aged just 16-years-old, he overdosed on a cocktail of drugs and cut open his own hands. He checked into an adolescent rehab which helped him change his life around. He is now happily married with two young daughters, Pearl and Andy.
