Last week, child star Haley Joel Osment was arrested at a ski resort - and it's not been his first run-in with the law.
While he may have kept largely out of the private eye in recent years, back in the 90s and 2000s, Osment starred in a whole bunch of major cinema smashes, many of which have since become cult classics amongst die-hard cinephiles.
But who actually is he and why did he get arrested at a ski resort of all places?
So, without further ado, let's get into it...

Who is Haley Joel Osment?
Osment, 37, is the older brother of 33-year-old Hannah Montana star Emily Osment.
However, he's best known for his roles in Forrest Gump with Hollywood A-lister Tom Hanks, Pay It Forward alongside Kevin Spacey, and A.I Artificial Intelligence with Jude Law.

As a youngster, he also landed a starring role in psychological-thriller The Sixth Sense alongside Bruce Willis and Toni Colette.
Aged just 10 at the time, the gig saw him nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a Screen Actors Guild - though he only walked away with a Saturn Award when the accolades rolled around.
As an adult, the movie star has appeared in gory horror Tusk, comedy flick Sex Ed, and the 2019 biographical Ted Bundy crime-drama Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.

And, recently, Osment was one of the many celebrities who lost their homes in the LA wildfires.

TMZ was the first to report that he had been arrested for both public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance with Page Six confirming the claims with local police earlier this week on Wednesday (16 April).
The publication claims that a Mammoth Lakes Police Department media bulletin revealed that ski patrol was with the 'unruly skier' when officers arrived, who was later identified as Osment.
After being charged, he was sent to a lab for testing before being released.
The Mono County district attorney’s office have yet to decide whether to prosecute the case.

Tyla has previously contacted Osment's representatives for a comment.

Last week's run-in with police isn't the first time that the Hollywood veteran had been arrested.
In 2006, he was picked up by officers after being found to have driven into a brick pillar while under the influence of alcohol.
As well as being taken in, Osment sustained both shoulder and rib injuries.
He pleaded no contest for one count of DUI, and one count of marijuana possession at the time.
As a result, Osment was sentenced to three years of probation and a $1,500 fine - as well as 60 hours of alcohol rehabilitation and six months of meeting with Alcoholics Anonymous.
In an interview with the Guardian in 2020, Osment said the DUI incident was the 'terrible mistake' of an arrogant teenager, adding: "It could not have had less to do with Hollywood."
He added that the stereotype of child stars having a 'spectacular blowup' as they grew older was not as prevalent as many believed, saying: "I think the percentage of people having a positive experience working as children is much higher than most people imagine."
