According to a recent article, Jack Nicholson’s friends are worried about his rising loneliness.
According to a unnamed insider close to the 85-year-old performer, he is sequestered at his luxurious Mulholland Drive home in Los Angeles because “he would rather not face reality any longer”.
The A-lister and his 30-year-old son Ray watched a Los Angeles Lakers game more than a year ago in October 2021.
In the wake of rumors about his ongoing illness, the notorious womanizer made an appearance more than a year after his final Lakers game in January 2020.
The source claimed in an interview with RadarOnline that those close to the actor, who has six children from five different women and has only been married once, are concerned that he will turn into a recluse like his famous friend Marlon Brando.
The insider said of the 30-year-old son of celebrity and actress Rebecca Broussard, “Jack’s in touch with certain relatives – especially Ray, his protégé, who he’s so proud of, but his socializing days are long gone.”.
The actor’s youngest child, Ray, was observed sitting next to his father during the actor’s two previous Lakers games.
The sources compared the former legendary lothario’s seclusion to Brando’s tragic final years as a leading man, when he put on weight after relocating to Tahiti decades before his passing in 2004 at the age of 80.
The source says that Jack’s friends are comparing him to Brando because he died almost alone after such a colorful life.
The insider continued, “His kids will visit, but they’re his only connection to the outside world.”. He seems to have lost the ability to deal with reality, which is awful.
When Brando and Nicholson shared a house on Mulholland Drive with Warren Beatty in the 1970s, they developed a reputation as ferocious womanizers and troublemakers.
Following their widely reported antics, the street was given the moniker “Bad Boy Drive.” The home that Nicholson is said to have bought with money from the drug-fueled, generation-defining movie Easy Rider allegedly was the subject of an open house.
Insiders told Express in 2009 that Nicholson celebrated his new home in an unusual way by “walking around completely naked from dawn until sunset whether he had visitors or not” for three months.
According to insiders’ accounts, Nicholson’s behavior toward guests while residing in the same home could not have changed more radically.
Sources claim that the situation is getting worse due to fears that the actor’s health is declining. Close friends who told Radar that they believed the actor may have dementia said that the actor’s son Ray and older sister Lorraine have been “looking after him.”.
In September 2021, a friend of the three-time Academy Award winner said, “I think his son and daughter are looking after him now.”. I’ve known Jack for a very long time, but he no longer leaves his house.
The acquaintance went on to say that although “physically he is fine,” “his mind is gone,” and “the Mulholland Drive neighborhood is pretty tight-knit, and they are all worried about him,” were all true”.
An insider said, “It’s really sad to see such a super-talented actor go out this way.
The actor has lived in his impressive estate for many years; it is 3,303 square feet in size, has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a pool, and a swimming pool. Since the 1970s, the house has hosted a sizable number of Nicholson’s widely publicized projects.
Nicholson’s favorite celebrities include models and entertainers Rebecca Broussard, Michelle Phillips, Bebe Buell, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Bebe.
Sandra Knight, his six-year wife, described their marriage as “very beautiful and sweet.” They were married between 1962 and 1968. ”.
He frequently cheated on actress Angelica Huston from the Addams Family, with whom he had a much more tumultuous relationship.
Everything came to an end in 1989, after 16 years, when he told Broussard at dinner that he was expecting a child.
Closer obtained Nicholson’s comments, in which he states, “I’m childish, and I did make a mistake,” and that he was “annihilated emotionally. ”.
In addition to sleeping until one in the afternoon, playing golf, soothing his stomach with milk, and visiting the house next door where he keeps his art collection, according to the magazine, Nicholson also practices other activities.
He for the most part bought the adjoining Marlon Brando-time home on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles so he wouldn’t need to manage any neighbors.
A source claims that his family had been pressuring him to sell the properties so he could downsize and relocate to a “more reasonable spot in Beverly Slopes”.
Despite the fact that the father-son duo has frequently attended basketball games together, Jack and Ray have a long history of Lakers fandom. However, over the past year, the actor has been notably absent from his usual courtside role.
Jack has supported the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team for many years, despite their recent losing seasons.
In 2013, following the Los Angeles Lakers’ defeat by the Oklahoma City Thunder, he and Adam Sandler made headlines by leaving the team.
Jack has started painting as a hobby and led a more laid-back lifestyle since his 2010 film How Do You Know.
