HALEY JOEL OSMENT AND THE CHILD STAR CURSE

When Haley Joel Osment’s name comes up, we always think of him as the sensitive kid in “The Sixth Sense.” Of course, he’s 26 and grown up now and currently filming Kevin Smith’s Yoga Hosers” with Johnny Depp. Paparazzi caught him on the set in what appears to be a Nazi uniform. Can you imagine a Nazi with that little face and only 5’4” tall? He suffers from the child star curse of being very short.

  1. I think child stars are hired short so that they look younger than their age, but have the mental and physical abilities of an older child.

  2. Terrible name for a movie. And, there must not be much of a budget for the costume department. Osment could pull the shirt down over his hand, and have six inches of extra sleeve.

  3. Well, unlike most child stars, he is still working! Blessings to that! 🙂

  4. The short, younger looking ones can work much longer as a kid in film and tv. Just look at Gary Coleman, Emmanuel Lewis, Dana Plato, and David Faustino. They are all 5’2 or under and played kids long after they were adults. Sad exploitation of them.
