Trouble Converting Friends To Dates

[Blind Gossip] This actor became very famous as a child film star. He’s a man now, and he doesn’t always get recognized.

Although he has never stopped working, people are sometimes a little shocked when they meet him because he looks so different.

There was a rumor that he has a serious girlfriend. True?

No, and it bothers him that he has trouble converting friends to dates. Look, he is aware that he’s not as cute as he was when he was a kid, but he really is the nicest guy. He’d like to date more. He’s asked his sister to help him find someone.

Awww. That’s sweet. By the way, his sister is an actor, too.

    All y’all are geniuses. I would never have gotten this one.

    Haley, if you or any of your friends see this: You are a very handsome man at any weight, but far more importantly, you’re kind and decent. Beautiful is as beautiful does. If you want to make changes for yourself (vs to please Hollywood etc), go for it. You can absolutely do it and I’m right there with you in the same boat. God has a plan for you. You will find the right woman, sooner than you think, who loves you for you.

    Omg, I just saw him, Osment, on TV the other day and I thought that he was legit cute and talented. If he’s into 20-something, artsy black/jewish girls, I’m here!

    Haley Joel Osment.
    It is refreshing to hear about an actor in Hollywood not assaulting women. I think trimming down and getting rid of the facial hair and cutting his hair would make a world of difference. It is horrible to say but people are first attracted by looks. He needs a makeover and needs to buff up. If what is being said is true that he is a really nice guy, I am sure he can find a good woman to share his life. Good luck, Haley Joel!

    Haley Joel Osment.

    If he got rid of the terrible beard, got a haircut and put some effort into his choice of clothing he might get more dates.

  6. SouthJerseyGirl says

    I see that he’s only 5’4″ tall. Maybe it’s because he’s so short, as opposed to his looks. He’s totally adorable. If I were a short young woman, I’d be interested.

    Haley Joel Osment.
    He’s gained quite a few unflattering pounds AND he’s only 5’4″. That’s short for a guy. That and the weight works against him. I have to admit the ugly truth about human beings and that is that we’re drawn to the best looking among our species for biological reasons. Mating and all that. We’re still animals. If Osment lost the weight he might be able to attract a nice girl. Sorry to put it that way. ?

    Haley Joel Osment

    I think he could be cute…if he has shaved that awful beard and maybe lost a few pounds.

  20. ElleLondon says

    I think this is Haley Joel Osment. The picture looks like him now and his sister was in Hannah Montana.

    Haley Joel Osment and his sister Emily Osment
    No, I don’t think he’s still cute at all.

    Actor: Haley Joel Osment

    [Optional] Do you think he’s still cute? He’s not my type but there somebody for everyone.

  28. toasted_owl says

    definitely Haley Joel Osment, his sister Emily was an actress on Hannah Montana.

    he does look very different, but seems really nice and relaxed. if he lost just a little weight and cut his hair, I think he’d be fine.

  32. delray74 says

    Haley Joel Osment. He’s not really the athletic type. He needs to date inside his own league, not judging or anything but it’s clear to me his hips don’t exactly have full range of motion. He needs to be realistic about who would find him attractive. We are sexual creatures, no use pretending it’s not true.

  38. MrFahrenheit says

    Haley Joel Osment?
    After seeing him on Silicon Valley last season, he sort of resembles the man in the photo. And his sister is an actress. This makes me sad. He seems like a good guy!

  40. pflower says

    Haley joel osment. His head grew but his face remained sort of small in comparison. However glad to hear he is still having a career and has grown into a good man despite the toxic hollywood environment.

  41. NYCBunny says

    Haley Joel Osment is still cute as a button. It’s a shame he’s so short; that’s the biggest drawback I see to him finding dates in this looks-obsessed world.

  42. WorkHardBeNice says

    Awww, is this Haley Joel Osment? He kind of fell off the radar.

    I don’t know if he’s necessarily “cute” any more, but if he’s turned out to be a nice guy, I wish him well in his search.

  55. dippity-do says

    Haley Joel Osment and Emily Osment? Jason Bateman has a sister Justine who is/was an actress, but he doesn’t look that much different from his younger days.

      Changing my answer to Haley Joel Osment. The poor guy lost his cuteness when he hit adulthood

  58. CountessLurkula says

    Haley Joel Osment

    Saw him on CPW in NYC last year and he was dressed like a chunky middleaged preppy guy from Rhode Island. He’s cute and just wants to be adored (don’t we all!?!) poor guy, his sister Emily is a stunner.

  62. giggles says

    Haley Joel Osment went from cute kid to corpulent adult and if I’m going by the picture as a clue, that’s my pick. His actress sister is Emily Osment.

  69. Ellis Bell says

    Haley Joel Osment?

    Optional: Whenever I see photos of him he’s always smiling and seems like he’s enjoying life. That should be attractive to women.

  71. bathoryelizabeth81 says

    H.J: Osment? He was so cute as child and so good actor. He is not your typical Hollywood hottie but I wish he would work more in better roles. I bit worried after the last Spacey scandal, I hope he never was his victim. They filmed Pay It Forward together.

  74. lovefifteen says

    Haley Joel Osment. His sister is actress Emily Osment.

    I’m kind of shocked how homely he became as an adult.

  75. Sarah Connor says

    Haley Joel Osment
    (sister Emily Osment)
    He’s no greek god but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve to be happy or loved. Look at Patton Oswalt, Danny DeVito, Mark Anthony, Prince… Haha
    He looks cute as in nice and kind, bearded teddy bear guy. He should look for a normal loving girl outside the industry, definitely NOT the Hollywood type.

  78. ConfusedHarpy says

    Joel Osment. Sister is Emily Osment. He’s merely a rounder and beard-ier version of his young self.

  82. Elmerblues says

    Haley Joel Osment – his sister is an actress (famous for the Pepsi commerical when she was a kid). He looks like the dude in the pic. Balding with a gut…

    • Sharper_Teeth says

      I think you’re thinking of Jessie Eisenberg’s little sister, the one with the dark curly hair and giant dimples?

  83. aaadlove says

    Haley Joel Osment… met him randomly once in New York. Great guy, very gracious when people figured out who he was. I’m sure there is someone out there for him.

  84. Starwatcher says

    Hayley Joel Osment
    He doesn’t look THAT different and he seems to be picking interesting projects, he just needs to find some girl who isn’t completely shocked that a human being aged.

  85. melrose71 says

    Haley Joel Osment. He definitely looks different than when he was a kid, but he’s not bad. It seems hard to believe he’s not having much luck, though. Maybe he’s too nice and/or only interested in women who aren’t interested in him. It might help if he broadens his horizon so to speak.

  92. Gossimer says

    Actor: Hayley Joel Osment

    The sister mentioned is likely his actor sis Emily Osment. I’ve heard him on podcasts and he seems like a genuinely nice dude. I wish him the best in the dating pool.

  97. Ricky Spanish says

    Haley Joel Osment? His sister is Emily Osment from Hannah Montana (and probably more recent things).

  98. Gregory Pecker says

    Haley Joel Osment.

    And yes, he’s a totally lovely guy. I crewed on something he was in. An absolute darling.

  105. shan1122 says

    Haley Joel Osmont.

    Looks cant always be helped, but he grew up to be quite unfortunate looking. :\

    • Sharper_Teeth says

      It’s like his facial features stayed the same size while everything around them grew. He seems nice, though.
