Jack Osbourne recalls partying at 16 with Joshua Jackson during “Dawson's Creek” cameo: 'Lived it up!'

The reality star played himself months before getting sober.

Jack Osbourne recalls being very nervous and shy when he appeared on three episodes of Dawson's Creek, but he still managed to have a good time, Osbourne said in Tuesday's episode of The Osbournes Podcast with his famous family — sister Kelly, mom Sharon, and dad Ozzy.

In 2002 and 2003 he made several cameos on Dawson's Creek playing a version of himself, ostensibly the childhood friend of Busy Philipps' character, Audrey.

He remembered it as having been "a fun experience."

Then Kelly teased him by asking if he remembered what their mom had told him before he filmed with the cast. It was "no partying," because those were "the wild days."

Jack, who marked 20 years sober in April 2023, agreed that they really were the wild days. He said he hadn't listened to his mom.

"I remember actually going out drinking one night with [Joshua Jackson]," said Jack, who was then in his late teens and the star of MTV's beloved reality show The Osbournes. "Lived it up."

He spoke highly of meeting everyone on the WB series, which also starred James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, and Michelle Williams.

Osbourne is now the husband of Aree Gearhart and the father of four girls (one with Gearhart and three with ex-wife Lisa Stelly.) And they happen to have spent some time with Van Der Beek, the father of six children of his own.

"We used to hang out when they lived in L.A.," Osbourne said. "Him and his wife moved to Texas. I run into Josh Jackson. Always very polite and nice."
