Haley Joel Osment turns 21 today. Yes, I’m still a fan. These days, it takes either more effort, or a lot less, depending on how you look at it, but I am.

Not that he’s been doing nothing, mind you. Just that at this rate, you’d never know it. :mad: [One film](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1208711/) completed, [another](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx1jHc8H2EY) waiting for the actors’ strike :smack: to end so it can get started, and [Home of the Giants](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0471005/) has been sneaking its way onto DVD. (Region 2 :rolleyes:) And last fall, he was in a [revival of American Buffalo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ME8BdJ_R3g&feature=related) on Broadway 🙂 with Cedric the Entertainer and John Leguizamo. 🆒 (Unfortunately, it, uh, closed after one week. :()

And beyond that, he’s still a student at NYU (as far as I know). So all in all, doing his own thing in his own way in his own time. Still in one piece, no more [del]blatant[/del] trouble 😉 since that one incident, and looking pretty darn good if I may say. 😛

So happy 21st, Haley, and I hope many more!

I now feel very, very old.

Thanks.

6th Sense Kid is all grown up now, huh? How time goes by.

There’s one thing that, as an ALMOST-but-not-quite native French speaker (from Luxembourg, learned French very early) always sort of intrigued me: This kid who is the star of a creepy movie, has a last name that sounds, and is written, almost like “ossements” - which is French for “skeletal remains”.

He’s only a little over a year younger than me…and he’s already more successful than I’ll ever be.

Goddamnit…

I actually feel fine about this. I thought he was a lot more than 6 years younger than me.
