Shocking news came out recently that actor Haily Joel Osment, famous for films such as The Sixth Sense and A.I. as well as his vocal work in the Kingdom Hearts series, has been trapped in a simulation of his own dreams since the release of Kingdom Hearts III.
“It was so strange, It was like I was back on the set of A.I. except also my dad was there, but he wasn’t my dad he was Genie from Aladdin…” Osment said on a recent unlistenable podcast. “I don’t really know how long it’s been. I just woke up a week ago, the last thing I remember is Tetsuya Nomura telling me to drink this special tea that was going to help my voice stay warm for a long VO session.”
Osment had started working on the highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts IV before this strange affliction. Director Tetsuya Nomura claims he had nothing to do with what happened to the beloved actor but says it was a blessing in disguise Osment had the chance to connect deep with his inner soul and let his heart be his guiding key.
“We’re investigating Mr. Nomura, we believe he may be culpable in some way,” Stated Detective Jeffrey Katzeneisner, in a recent press conference. “Mr. Osment described several elaborate ‘disneyfied’ versions of his childhood memories we believe may have been induced by some sort of hallucinogenic tea given to him by Nomura. While Mr. Nomura has denied requests for further questioning; he did send us a box of sea salt ice cream with a note that just read “Chillax bro”.
Osment has stated that although he feels 100% better he still can’t stop hearing Hikaru Utada singing “Simple and Clean” in his head everyday.
