Rings star: Ozzy 'one of life's nice guys'

Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood says Ozzy Osbourne gets a raw deal on his reality TV show, as the edited footage shows him to be more bumbling than he really is.

The 22-year-old actor is a close friend of the Black Sabbath frontman's son Jack, and spends a lot of time with the family.

Elijah reveals that the first time he met him, he thought 'Help - what is this?'

Now, however, he describes him as "the sweetest man" and "one of life's nice guys."

He added that Ozzy never complains, criticises people or attacks the work of other musicians.

Furthermore, the rocker doesn't take himself too seriously, according to Elijah.
