However, her elation quickly turned to sadness after an agent allegedly gave her a “whole speech” about how if she didn’t lose weight she wouldn’t be a star.

“When I was a kid, I got pulled into the head of the agency’s office, and he was putting golf balls into a cup and gave me a whole speech about how I was too fat for TV and I needed to lose weight, and that if I lost weight, I would look better,” Kelly recalled on The Osbournes Podcast.

“I just booked a movie with Lindsay Lohan, Freaky Friday. I was gonna play her best friend, and then it was right before mum got diagnosed with cancer, so I quit,” Osbourne continued. “And he was just saying, ‘you’re not a movie star, but you could be one if you lost weight’.”

Her brother, Jack, replied: “That’s the most L.A. s**t ever.”

“I know,” Osbourne responded before saying: “As he’s putting golf balls into a cup in his office. And I was just, like, this is the most insulting f**ingg [thing].”

The role Osbourne quit to spend time with her mother ended up going to actress Christina Vidal in the end.
