At 85, award-winning actor Jack Nicholson no longer seems able to take on new roles. One of his relatives gives his news.
Batman, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Shining… Since the beginning of his career, Jack Nicholson has chained the outstanding roles and participated in the most prestigious films. But since the movie How to know by James L. Brooks, released in 2010, the actor is absent from film sets. Since then, some rumors have swirled about his potential participation in projects, but for which he finally refused the roles offered to him, such as for the films 42, The judge or the remake of Toni Erdman. If it now seems clear that the actor has put an end to his career, no one really knew what the reasons were.
It’s been over a year since Jack Nicholson made any public appearances and there might be an explanation. One of his close friends confided in the site RadarOnline and revealed he feared the actor would suffers from dementia. “Physically he is fine, but his spirit is gone, he described. It’s really sad to see an actor as talented as Jack go like this.” Already in 2018, some of his friends had revealed to the same site that he suffered from memory loss and that it is for this reason that he had moved away from the cinema, not being able to retain his lines of dialogue.

Jack Nicholson, sick and lonely?
“Jack and I have been friends for years and he doesn’t leave his house anymore, he assured. I think his son and daughter are taking care of him now.” Father of five children, he is especially close to his last two, Lorraine and Raymond, whom he had with actress Rebecca Broussard. Residing since the 1970s in a house in Los Angeles, on the side of Mulholland Drive, the Oscar-winning actor seems more than ever isolated from the rest of the world. “The Mulholland Drive community is pretty tight-knit and they’re all worried about him”, revealed this source. This relative is especially worried about the way in which he could end his life and compares the situation to his former neighbor and friend Marlon Brando. “Brando died a recluse after leading such a colorful life”he recalls, hoping not to see Jack Nicholson meet the same end.
