According to reports, the close friends and family of the iconic American actor Jack Nicholson are concerned about his health. It has been said that the actor, who is 85 years old and has become reclusive, is suffering from dementia.
Although he retired from acting after the release of the romantic comedy “How Do You Know” in 2010, he has continued to frequently appear in public. He was last seen in public in October 2021, when he attended a sporting event with his son Ray Nicholson. This was the last time anyone saw him.
According to a statement made by a source to RadarOnline, “He has made it very apparent that his residence is his fortress. But everyone really wishes he’d just pop out of the home and explain what happened, or at the very least give them the assurance that he’s fine. Jack maintains contact with some of his relatives, particularly with Ray, his student and protégé, of whom he is extremely proud, but his days of going out and socializing are long behind him.”
The source went on to say, “After living such an eventful life, Marlon Brando passed away as a virtual recluse, and Jack’s friends are drawing comparisons between the two. His children will pay him a visit, but otherwise, they are his only link to the outside world. It seems as though he no longer wishes to confront the truth, which is a very unfortunate attitude to have.”
Nicholson is widely recognized as one of the most talented actors in the history of the acting profession. He had a reputation for being able to thoroughly submerge himself in his roles, and he was particularly good at playing individuals who had mental issues. He is one of just three actors who have won three Oscars or more in their careers (Katharine Hepburn died with four Oscars, and Meryl Streep has three trophies).
In recognition of his work in films such as “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” “Terms of Endearment,” and “As Good as It Gets,” the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented Nicholson with several awards. In addition, he is famous for his roles as the Joker in “Batman,” Jack Torrance in “The Shining,” Col. Nathan Jessup in “A Few Good Men,” and many other characters in a variety of films.
