Donny had a fair amount of success on the Broadway circuit, having appeared in a grand total of three plays. His biggest play, by far, was “Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” in which he played the titular character. We couldn’t imagine him as anything but the lead.
He also played the lead in “Little Johnny Jones.” He also took on the surprising role of the evil Gaston, in “Beauty and the Beast.” We know what you’re thinking. Donny? A villain? Impossible! And yet, from the photos, it looks like Donny reveled in the challenge of playing the bad guy for just a little while.
Material Girl
As is often the case with people who become rich and famous early in life, Marie enjoyed the lap of luxury from a young age. All that fame and fortune really make lots of materialistic pleasures possible, and it's a temptation that is hard not to succumb to.
It appeared as if Marie Osmond had a soft spot for elite designers, namely a Louis Vuitton obsession as she never was seen without one a Vuitton bag on her person. In regards to her personal style, in between shows, Marie was seen sporting curlers in her hair, apple in hand, and not a single care otherwise.
Donny’s Family Life
While Donny lived through some dark times in his life, he has made it his mission to recover and not let the same things happen again. When it comes to his own family, he doesn't want to make any mistakes. For someone who is so proud to be a family man, there is simply too much to lose.
When he was 20 years old and uber-famous, Donny married Debra Glenn at Salt Lake Temple. The pair has five sons: Donald Clark Jr., Jeremy James, Brandon Michael, Christopher Glenn, and Joshua Davis. The family is often seen together having the best of times, on vacation, or on the way to church.
A Secret Crush
Donny appeared on the British TV show, "The Kumars at No. 42" as a guest. He had no idea that he was in for a surprise a secret admirer just waiting to meet him. Sanjeev Bhaskar, the star of the show (you might also recognize him from the Netflix hit "The Sandman"), said that his wife, comedian Meera Syal, had always wanted to marry Donny Osmond.
When she was young she was even willing to convert to Mormonism! What crush! With Donny on the show, Sanjeev joked that she could run off with him if she wanted, as her excitement erupted.
Getting Animated
Many super fans have no idea, but Donny has starred in plenty of animated TV shows and movies over the years. His silky smooth voice is as good animated as it is on stage! One role nearly everyone has heard of is Captain Li Shang in the Disney classic, Mulan.
If, for some reason, you still need some help refreshing your memory, well, in the film he sings the iconic “I’ll Make a Man Out of You.” And if that song isn't in the top five of your favorite Disney songs then we're sorry but you can't sit with us.
