| by conner I just stumbled across this page ... I guess you could call me a fan but I don't make it a big deal to see all his movies or anything. He is a great actor ... don't get me wrong, I just grew up with very different actors ... not really my age group I suppose. Anyway, I'm rambling ... the point was to say that I think it is a shame to view an actors work and his life in the same way. Who are you or I to judge another person (in the spotlight or not)? We all mistakes, some greater than others. Be thankful he is okay ... I don't want to say a DUI is not a big deal ... but it happens ... he'll get on and learn from it. But to say that your opinion of him is changed is stupid ... he is still the actor he always was. Stop being so closed minded ... a DUI doesn't make you a bad actor and a DUI does not make you a bad person. It is a mistake. I wish you the best Haley -- and good luck in court. Comment on this... |

| by Jessie I guess what I'm ranting on about, is the major influences of cause and effect. Karma at its finest. Haley and I are the same age and have had much different lives. Some would say he was an extremely privilaged child. I would now say that no matter how much fame or fortune you receive, if you lack tools in your life that may save it in the future, you're less privilaged than the children who have those tools. In a way I think it's unfortunate that Haley doesn't seem to have ever had realistic lifeskills training. He's a brilliant actor, something I am just inept with, but I have lifeskills. I have training for life under my belt. I'm eighteen years old, I have been living on my own since I was seventeen by getting a job at a shifty hotel as a housekeeper and moving back to the city I came from. I lived with a friend for about a month. I had a mattress shoved behind her brick chimney in the attic suite she lived in. The space I had could fit my twin-size mattress and that was what I lived in. I got up every morning and walked to work, because I didn't have money to bus and I didn't (and don't) have a car. I realize now how much I enjoyed that walk. Walking across the ocean on a bridge, I would always see a man I called "the Da Vinci man". He created a floating device that looks like something out of Da Vinci's notebooks. I later saw downtown posted on a local homelessness charity's window, "Our Place Talent" and it had a picture of the man with his device. It's experiences like that that I value. I was 17, cleaning up crack pipes and bloody sheets - the aftermath from when I reported being able to hear men beating their girlfriends in the hotel rooms. But walking to and from work made it all worth it. I had freedom. I had all the choices in the world. I could do anything with my life. There were no set paths for me, and no one in my life wanted me to do anything in particular. I enrolled in college and was accepted right away. I used my savings from working at the hotel to fund my education, and I moved out of my friend's place to a house with five roommates and now I pay my own rent and shop and pay for my own groceries, etc. I couldn't imagine the confusion that would surface if your whole life you've been a child star. Now what are you? You know? I may have had it a bit tougher than other kids, but you know what? I did it without confusion, and a good sense of myself. That's the difference, and that's why it's such a shame that he had to get himself into such danger. I'm only talking about Haley because it really shocked me. You expect Britney Spears to do stupid things like that, but when you see someone like Haley, you (or at least, I) can't help but delve deeper to see what the hell happened. It wasn't long before I decided we've probably led much different lives and that's why celebrities and 'non-celebrities' make much different choices. I think that's the end of my two cents.

| by Jessie Well, I'm not too much into the media, so I just found out Haley was charged with DUI last night. I couldn't believe it. As a kid, I remember first finding out who that kid on 'The Sixth Sense' was. I couldn't believe what an amazing actor he was, and a friend knocked on my door (I lived in a very tight community) and immediatly said, "Hey that's Haley Joel Osment." It was a long name, so she had to repeat it for me a couple of times. I just ... found him to be unique. I found him to be unique in that he treated acting as an art. It was truly an art. The way he could mimic facial expressions and match them to the situation, and the way he was obviously not shy about doing things outside of the box (I remember one movie - maybe AI? - where he burst out in a robotic laugh). I thought it was very well done. I think Haley and I are the same age (born in 88?). I wanted to be in commercial and things like that when I was a child, and I used to recite commercials after seeing them once. I definitely had the look (I had that cute face people love seeing on Welch's commercials). When I think back now, though. I've gone through elementary school, high school, and now I'm in college. I haven't had a career my entire life like he has, I've been working up to mine. Mine will pay a considerable amount less, as well. The point is, I couldn't imagine being raised in the world as a child star, and then committing the most deadly sin around - growing up. I saw him in Secondhand Lions and I kept thinking in disappointment, "Awww his voice is lower now." It was still a cute movie, but I feel his actions with DUI maybe reflected his disappointment in himself. Maybe I'm incorrect, but I would never, ever, ever get into a car under any 'influence', and I wouldn't get into a car with someone else under the 'influence' so long as he or she was the driver. Maybe it's because I moved from a city to a small country town. In the city, the people charged with DUI are on the news, in a short snippet, because 'everyone knows not to drink and drive'. In the small town I moved to, it was a major problem. Well-known hypnotist Marc Savard made almost annual visits to the town in different assemblies and work shops to try and hypnotise us into thinking we were in a car accident. It very real and all the emotions are there until you wake up. Babies die, lovers die, best friends die. It's terrifying. The reason he did this was because on his way to performing a show (I believe he's from Las Vegas, I know he does many shows for celebrities), he was hit by a driver under the influence. He showed us pictures of his injuries and it was just gruesome. It's just not something I'd wish on anyone, that's for sure. Comment on this... |
