Haley Joel Osment Praised For Wild JD Vance Impression: He 'Should Win An Emmy'

The actor parodied the Ohio Republican's cringeworthy donut shop visit on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" this week.

Haley Joel Osment is getting love on social media this week for his impression of Sen. JD Vance  (R-Ohio) after he parodied the Republican vice presidential nominees cringeworthy visit to a donut shop in August.

The actor, in a mock ad that aired during Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, dismissed critics who labeled him weird, creepy and awkward.

They want you to think that I cant order a simple door nut  donut. Shit, said Osment, who debuted his impression on the show early last month.

Osment proceeded to cut in front of an elderly woman before speaking to a shop employee, using Vances whatever makes sense line when deciding on what donuts to buy.

I can get that for you, said the employee as Osment walked to a display case with donuts inside and proceeded to punch it open, breaking the glass display in the process.

The actor declared that the Democrats claim he doesnt know how to talk to people before awkwardly sat down next to a Black construction worker at the shop.

Hello worker, may I sit? Osment asked.

Sure, replied the worker, who watched as Osment dumped a donut into a cup of coffee and spilled it in front of him.

So, how long you been Black? asked Vance before stopping the worker to locate the smell of a pregnant woman.

You can watch the full clip below.

Osment was praised for the portrayal, including by Jace Serrano, a screenwriter who shared a clip of the Kimmel parody that went viral .

Haley Joel Osment should win an Emmy for his portrayal of JD Vance trying to buy a donut, Serrano wrote.
