“My mom was really good at making sure we had a normal upbringing.”
The contestants not only have to guess the other contestants' celebrity ties, but compete in themed challenges.
Osmond did not win, but he did come in third place.
Regardless, Osmond is happy with his “Claim to Fame” experience.
“And I was on television.
“Shoutout to the cast and crew for making an amazing season,” he wrote.
Thank you for bringing me along for this wild journey!”
Needless to say, Chris Osmond’s dad knows a thing or two about show business.
So, how does Donny feel about Chris following in his footsteps?
Turns out, he’s on board.
“He said, ‘Well, that’s super cool.
That’s amazing.’
And he’s always been a big support,” Chris shared.
“And I think he was just really excited for me to do it.
And to experience it for myself.”
In a separate chat withEntertainment Weekly, Chris revealed that Donny became a dedicated fan of the show.
As far as Donny and Debbie were concerned, this was the best move for their family.
“I know some people recognize me, but they are extremely polite.”
It’s clear that Chris comes from a tight-knit family.
“We all make an effort to have weekends together as a family as often as we can.”
“I do stay connected with a lot of them.”
Osmond went on to share that he really clicked with Cole Cook, akaAlicia Keys' brother.
This is not the only time Osmond has spoken about the bonds he created during filming.
“I’ve always wanted to [be on TV] all these years,” he told Parade.
And that passion has yet to burn out.
“But yeah, more to come,” he said.
“I’m producing and recording right now and hopefully performing here soon.”
And what does his father think about his music?
Is he his biggest supporter or his toughest critic?
“The artist sounded really familiar to me.
I did a search on Spotify, and I realized why his voice sounded familiar.
It’s my son, Chris.”
“Just letting you know I accomplished a New Year’s resolution on Saturday, which hardly happens!
Ironman 70.3 for the books!”
“Such an incredible experience all together.
It was extremely challenging but so rewarding in the end,” he continued.
“Let’s go do the Hawaii one next?!
Proud of you!”
Alta Osmond wrote on her husband’s photo.
You couldn’t get a better cheering section, right?
Long story short, he has accomplished a great deal and Chris Osmond couldn’t be more proud.
“My dad is my hero.
“He started when he was 5 years old.
He’s been going through [it for] 60 years.”
Chris makes no secret of how much his father has influenced him.
Talk about learning from the best of the best.
As Chris said in Parade, “I’ve had a great role model as a dad.”
Their wedding was a celebration of love, but it was also a fun-filled bash.
“I wanted a PARTY!
And believe me, that’s what I got!”
They celebrated another milestone when they became parents to their daughter, Aussie Rae, in 2020.
Donny shared the birth of his daughter with anInstagrampost.
“Today, I am overcome with so much gratitude and love for my beautiful family.
God has blessed us with an angel,” he wrote.
“There’s a reason why my account is full of pictures of these two.
It’s moments like this that capture complete happiness!”
he wrote in anInstagrampost.
And on Mother’s Day 2023, Donny praised Alta for all she does.
“Happy Mother’s Day baby!
He became a dad again when their son, Dune Tyler, arrived in July 2023.
But as Chris told Parade, he did what we could to throw his costars off the scent.
Am I going to act like I’m related to this person or that person?'”
“I look like Jim Carrey.
I look like John Mayer.
Let’s do this.”
And Chris doesn’t just look like the “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” star.
He used all of this to his advantage.
Chris' strategy paid off for almost the entire season, and yes, he made his dad proud.
“For us, we’re very fortunate to have that name.
And to have an influence in this world for good.
But yeah, we still have to be super creative,” he toldFox13in 2022.
And they built a giant empire,” he toldUSA Today.
“(My dad’s) a huge legend, honestly.
In an interview with People, he echoed these sentiments again.
He is a self-described ‘perfectionist’
Like Donny Osmond, Chris Osmond strives for perfection.
“Even with my dad.
He’s a very strong performer.
While it may have taken Chris time to realize everything he could achieve, he is a unique talent.
In the same post, Donny commended his son for his songwriting abilities.
He also encouraged his fans to listen to “Dreamer,” a single Chris released around that time.
On top of that?
Chris is basically Donny’s doppelganger.
In many ways, “Claim To Fame” was Chris' opportunity to blaze his own path.
And now, “Claim to Fame” is his, well, claim to fame.
I’m like, ‘Am I?
Oh, I am.
Yeah, that’s right.'”
