DONNY OSMOND - OSMOND HATED SWEET IMAGE

OSMOND HATED SWEET IMAGE

Seventies pop star DONNY OSMOND detested his cute, charming image during his teen idol days. Osmond used to pout to the cameras in his TV show The Donny And Marie Show and admits he had to be coerced into pursing his lips together by the programme's producers. He says, "They'd say, 'Blow a kiss to the camera', and it always used to drive me crazy. "I didn't want to blow a kiss to the camera - I'm a guy. But I was meant to appeal to that kind of loveable, sweet puppy-love kid - and it worked."
