Haley Joel Osment rose to fame as a child star in Forrest Gump, The Sixth Sense, and A.I. Artificial Intelligence. He became the first millennial to receive an Oscar nomination but lost to Michael Caine.

Despite his success, Osment stepped away from the spotlight. He studied experimental theatre at NYU and transitioned to mature roles, including Broadway performances and TV series like Silicon Valley.

In 2006, he faced legal troubles after a DUI incident. Over the years, his appearance changed significantly—gaining weight and growing a beard, making him unrecognizable to some fans. However, Osment embraces his transformation, continuing his career in film and television while maintaining a private life.
