t hasn't been easy ? or pleasant. But Jack Osbourne has shed nearly 70 pounds since the spring and has cleaned up his act.
At a press event last week to promote his new British TV series, Jack Osbourne Adrenaline Junkie, Osbourne told reporters that even his parents, Ozzy and Sharon, barely recognized him after his spring/summer weight loss.
And with the pounds melting away, Osbourne, 19, traded his specs for contacts and cut his frizzy locks. Even paparazzi on the red carpet do not recognize him, he says.
One of the best things about being unrecognizable: "I've been able to live a normal life for the first time in years," Osbourne told The Mirror in London.
Osbourne's new lifestyle includes jogging, rock climbing and bedtime at 11 p.m. Drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and junk food are out, he says.
His rigorous trek to fitness is the focus of his TV adventure show, which follows Osbourne as he pursues the world's most extreme fitness regimens. His goal is to get in shape for his ultimate challenge: climbing the 3,000-foot rock face of El Capitan in California's Yosemite National Park.
To start his program, Osbourne spent a week in a kickboxing camp in Thailand for a detox program, which included a high-fiber liquid diet and coffee enemas.
"That was one of the most miserable weeks of my life," he told The Mirror.
At his heaviest last year, Osbourne, who is 5-foot-8, says, he tipped the scales at 231 pounds. He's now down to 161.
His goal is 147, he tells The Mirror.
