Jack Osbourne is currently starring in the U.K. edition of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, and during a chat with his costars, he dropped a story that still blows his mind decades later. According to Osbourne, 40, Brad Pitt and then-wife Jennifer Aniston were huge fans of his MTV hit The Osbournes.
Osbourne reminded his cast mates that the reality show centered around himself, his sister Kelly Osbourne, and his parents Sharon and the late OzzyOsbourne was at its peak when he attended the Emmys in the early 2000s. While hanging out in the green room, he said Pitt, 61, walked straight up to him and delivered a compliment he’s never forgotten.
“I absolutely love your show,” Pitt told him.
Osbourne said Pitt went even further, revealing that he and Aniston, 56, hunted down early cuts of the series so they could binge episodes before they aired.

“Jennifer and I got our agents to get us copies of it. We watch it every night in bed,” Pitt said, according to Jack.
Osbourne remembered replying, “Awesome. Thank you, Brad Pitt,” and admitted to his costars that the run-in was his “most holy s**t moment.”
It wasn’t the first time he’s shared the surreal encounter. Back in 2003, he told The Guardian that Pitt coming up to him calling himself a “huge fan” felt unbelievable.
Pitt and Aniston married in 2000 before splitting in 2005. Both later remarried — and divorced — and have since moved on with new relationships.
