A Father A Son For many years, Jack Nicholson was one of the kings of Hollywood, throwing some of the hottest parties, hanging around with the biggest names in town, and romancing some of the most desirable women on the planet. According to The Telegraph , Cher once said that Nicholson "likes women more than any man I've ever known," and Kim Bassinger claimed he was "the most highly sexed individual I have ever met.
But age has taken a bite out of Nicholson's complicated love life. It fundamentally changes his thoughts on acting and just about everything else he does.
I can't hit on women in public any more. I didn't decide this, it just doesn't feel right at my age," he said. A lot of me being an actor was about that, and about me. Yet, as Nicholson has come to terms with the physical drawbacks of aging, he's found himself developing in other areas.
If the legendary Jack Nicholson never acted in another film, the saddest part might be that his final film was the gigantic flop, How Do You Know. You rarely find those kinds of numbers in romantic comedies these days — but this was a James L. Brooks film. He and Nicholson were trying to recatch lightning in a bottle a third time, with two of their films, Terms of Endearment and As Good As It Gets , earning Jack Academy Awards, for best-supporting actor and best actor , respectively.
According to Forbes , despite playing a part in the death of the bloated romcom era, How Do You Know found new life on Netflix. In the summer of , streaming audiences took in this decade-old film and moved it into the top five of the most-watched movies on the platform. While it may not make up for the quality of the film or that it's akin to finding what might be Nicholson's last film in the discount bin at Walmart, Netflix at least gave this unloved film the space to stretch its legs and run free, enjoying the fresh air before it's ultimately forgotten forever.
Rather than retired, Jack Nicholson appears to be uninspired. His selectiveness has taken on a new life lately. If I don't, I won't. To get him back in the saddle, he'll need to read something great. But Nicholson sees an unsettling shift happening in audiences, one that he's not about to embrace any time soon.
And I'll never do that type of movie. If that means he never acts again, Nicholson sounds perfectly capable of sleeping easy at night. Everybody always said, 'There's no way you could not work. In recent years, Jack Nicholson's life has quieted down, but some reports would have you believe he's become a hermit.
In early , the Daily Mail painted him as a recluse, stating that he rarely leaves his house or dresses in anything other than a bathrobe. Long-time friend, the late Harry Dean Stanton, described Nicholson's quiet lifestyle more appealingly. He paints. I saw some of it a few years ago, it's nice. He enjoys it. I would imagine it's relaxing for him. I mean, I'm not driven," he said to The Sun. In fact, there's part of me that never really liked being out there. I learnt how to function within 'out there.
That's just a natural progression. I don't enjoy it, simple as that. Daniel Day-Lewis may employ the most well-known Method acting approach, but Jack Nicholson is no slouch. It's perception versus reality, I suppose. And like Day-Lewis, that process may have taken a toll on Nicholson. In , Day-Lewis announced that he was retiring after he couldn't shake The Phantom Thread after completing it.
Years earlier, he had left both film and stage acting for similar reasons. So you have to wonder how much Nicholson's preparation routines affect him. He incorporated intense amounts of research and commitment for The Witches of Eastwick. Then there was The Shining , which saw him reach extreme manic levels. But did these roles weigh on Nicholson, and is that something that could dissuade him from acting?
It's difficult to say one way or the other. Though, when he was asked to comment on Heath Ledger's death after playing the role of the Joker in The Dark Knight , Nicholson announced , rather cryptically, "well, I warned him. When you reach the level of fame and success of Jack Nicholson, outdoing yourself may be difficult.
This is the man whose "best of" film reel looks like a Hollywood highlights package. He's earned 12 Academy Award nominations and has won three times.
