He has seen dead people before, now he’s seen his waistline expand.
Actor Haley Joel Osment, known for his role in The Sixth Sense, was spotted Tuesday in Los Angeles filming for director Kevin Smith’s upcoming movie, starring alongside Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp. The actor was seen sporting a heavier look along with slicked back hair and a thin mustache, appearing unrecognizable from the boyish features he is known for.
According to Mirror, the 26-year-old will be playing a Nazi in the film entitled Yoga Hosers. Developed and written by Smith, the film is set to star Depp and Smith’s daughters Lily-Rose and Harley Quinn, both 15, as two yoga enthusiasts who go up against a villain threatening to spoil their big party plans.
“People always ask me, 'Are you ever going to make a comic book movie?'” Smith said to Hollywood Reporter. “This is it — but instead of yet another dude saving the day, our antiheroes are the most feared and formidable creatures man has ever encountered: two 15-year-old girls.”
Osment is known for his roles in director Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence and the movie Pay It Forward, starring alongside actor Kevin Spacey. He made his movie debut playing actor Tom Hank’s son in the 1994 film Forrest Gump. Since 2002, he has also provided the English voice for the main character in the Disney and video game developer Square Enix produced video game Kingdom Hearts.
According to Hollywood Reporter, the film, which is set to release in 2015, is a follow up to Smith’s film Tusk, the first installment of Smith’s True North trilogy of movies that are steeped in Canadian myths and culture. Returning for Yoga Hosers from Tusk’s cast along with Osment are Michael Parks, Justin Long, Genesis Rodriguez, Ralph Garman and Harley Morenstein.
