Fans think Haley Joel Osment ‘should win an Emmy’ for ‘perfect’ impression of JD Vance

Personally, I think the actor nailed the politician and got him spot-on

People can’t get enough of Haley Joel Osment as he delivers a paraody on a hilariously bizarre and awkward visit JD Vance had recently.

If you haven’t been following the upcoming presidential election campaigns (somehow), things have taken a bit of a weird turn of late.

Donald Trump chose his vice president running mate JD Vance and he has faced ridicule repeatedly for seeming... well a bit odd.

This was brilliantly illustrated when Vance visited a donut shop in Valdosta, Georgia, back in August. It really does look like it's the first time Vance has ordered a donut before and spoken to another human being.

In the footage he continues to ask all the staff he comes across how long they have been working there... and then just says 'ok' as a response. Pretty much conversations that go absolutely nowhere.

After the mockery, Vance admitted his campaign team messed up with the donut visit and the employees likely hadn’t been briefed.

Speaking to NBC he said: “We walked in, and there’s 20 Secret Service agents, and there’s 15 cameras, and she clearly had not been properly warned, and she was terrified, right? I just felt awful for her.”

So the video was prime for mockery and that is where Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense) comes in.

During a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the actor played the role of Vance and made things even weirder in his own trip a donut shop for the skit.

Making awkward small talk, struggling to be clear about what donuts to get and even punching through the glass to grab the donuts himself has seen fans loving it.

Some have even called his depiction of the politician perfect and suggested he should win an Emmy for his portrayal and it is easy to see why.

“Osment smashed that skit like he did the donut display. That was pure gold,” one person commented on YouTube.

“JD Vance: rubs a pregnant strangers belly saying "HELLO ma'am, when do you spawn?" HAD ME DYING. Haley Joel Osment is hilarious as jd vance,” another commented.

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

“OMG! This is too perfect,” another added.

“Haley Joel Osment as JD Vance really made the whole show worth watching. I regret that so many beautiful donuts were harmed in the taping of that episode,” a fifth person added.
