Ozzy Osbourne is not holding back his opinions on rock stars turned actors, or vice versa.
The 75-year-old Black Sabbath rocker had some strong words for performers who can't make up their minds on an episode of his SiriusXM podcast Ozzy Speaks.
"There was a time when rock stars wanted to be movie stars and movie stars wanted to be rock stars," he said. "Make your f***ing mind up what you want to do! Why do you want to be a rock star when you want to be in movies?"
He also noted that "there ain't many that can do it all and pull it off. Johnny Depp is pretty good at doing both." Depp has played guitar throughout his career, featuring on songs by Iggy Pop, Vanessa Paradis, Aerosmith, and more.
In 2015, he formed the supergroup Hollywood Vampires with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry. Depp tours with Hollywood Vampires, but has also performed with his late friend Jeff Beck, and joined Aerosmith onstage.
Osbourne also praised Bros drummer Luke Goss, saying, "What about them twins in that band? I saw one of them in a bank robbery film. It was a fantastic film." He was referring to the movie Death Race 2. Goss has also appeared in films Blade II, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Override, and A Christmas Wish.
The "Prince of Darkness" suggests that musicians be given "two movies" with which to prove their acting prowess. Otherwise, they should quit. "Have a stab and if you're s**t, acknowledge it, and stop," he said.
He previously caught flack for complaining about Britney Spears and her Instagram dancing on the July 16 episode of his family's podcast, The Osbournes Podcast. "I'm fed up with seeing poor Britney Spears on YouTube every f***ing day," Ozzy said.
Kelly Osbourne agreed, adding, "You know it's sad, very, very sad," while her mother said, "It's heartbreaking." Spears responded in a lengthy post on Instagram that also defended Kate Beckinsale and praised her movie Serendipity.
"Tell the Osbourne family, who is the most boring family known to mankind, to kindly f**k off," Spears posted.
