Jack Nicholson, sad last days?

He looked disheveled 40 years ago

Op It is sad, FINAL days and the other thread is still active, you stupid fat whore.

Isn't mid-80s when a lot of people die? I think if you make it past that hump, you will probably live into your 90s- and perhaps beyond.

He actually looks pretty damn good for 85.

Jack is at the Lakers game tonight with his son, Ray. (his first game in a couple years) He looks pretty good, put-together. He's had a shave & hair cut. Strangely, he isn't wearing his trademark shades.

He actually looks good for 85. He doesn't look well, sure, but he looks like he could still help you carry a couch out of your apartment.

Saw him at the game. Looks great for 85. Looks to be relatively healthy for 85.

He seemed like a hot shit when he was younger. Now I have no thoughts about him other than he was excellent in Cuckoo's Nest.

Quite big tits.

What happened between The Shining (1980) and Terms of Endearment (1983) that caused Jack to balloon up as he did? Did he quit coke after Belushi died in '82? That scared a lot of stars straight (at least temporarily).

Most people as big as he is don't make it to 85.

n 1982, he starred as an immigration enforcement agent in The Border, directed by Tony Richardson. It co-starred Warren Oates, who played a corrupt border official. Richardson wanted Nicholson to play his role less expressively than he had in his earlier roles. "Less is more", he told him, and wanted him to wear reflecting sunglasses to portray what patrolmen wore. Richardson recalled that Nicholson worked hard on the set:

He's what the Thirties and Forties stars were like. He can come on the set and deliver, without any fuss, without taking a long time walking around getting into it. "What do you want? Okay." And he just does it straight off. And then if you want him to do it another way on the next take, he can adapt to that too.

R11, less is more is a motto Jack Nicholson followed as much as Norma Shearer or Susan Hayward. He got from the scenery.

Fat from^

Has he been partying with Jack Sparrow?

My gut is telling me the suspect is a young guy who is muscular.

Nicholson was very subdued in REDS.

If it weren't for his hand on his face, I'd say he looks coffin-ready.

I think he looks tremendous!

Fat and happy Jack is cool. He is a lot more tenaciously rebellious than either James Dean or Brando. Perhaps Pete the cutie was a factor. Jack is such a character

Jack was courtside at the Lakers game (again) last night.

Looks great for 86.

I love all the caveats for him looking "great". As if a multimillionaire doesn't have the ability to look better than an obese drunken slob at this age.

Such anger^.

R23 if you mistake truth for anger, then yes.

Very angry.

Jack is back at the Lakers game again. 😎

I'd like to think this is a good omen. Lakers are 2-0 when Jack attends.

Cool!!

Gene Hackman, 93, still doing chores by himself

[quote]Nicholson was very subdued in REDS.

Yes. One of his best performances. Coming off The Shining and The Postman Always Rings Twice, both of which had a lot of patented Nicholson scenery-chewing, it showed another side of him.

That's one thing you can usually count on when an actor decides to direct for the first time. They tend to get good performances from the cast.

A while back, I watched a documentary about the making of Reds that was done for one of its anniversaries. When Beatty called Nicholson about playing Eugene O'Neill, Nicholson wasn't sure he was right for it. He said, "Warren, I can act anything, but I can't act 'thin'." Nicholson was trim by his own standards in Reds, but O'Neill in a lot of photographs is borderline gaunt. Beatty told him, "After the film comes out, people will think Eugene O'Neill looked like you."

Why doesn't Anjelica Huston move in with him?

I love that guy. He can dress up, dress down, not dress, overdress, I don’t care. I just want to hear him talk.

Then you’re love this R31.

*you’ll

R26 he looks totally fine , btw. Fat and happy. He must have genes of Teflon.

Maybe he was staying in because of COVID - it’s not a joke when you’re an old fat fuck - who’s also a lifelong smoker.

R34: Someone on Twitter commented that after seeing opening night, 2021, he skipped the entire Russell Westbrook Experience 😆

Oh, R32, I DID love it. As a child I **always** wanted the long suffering to be vengeful and they never were. The inssssatiably curious elephant’s child got his own back on his terrible family and my heart isssss glad.

And Jack was perfect.

THANK YOU.

I’m glad you enjoyed, R36!

I saw him and his handsome young son out like two weeks ago. He looks fine. He doesn't look 85 or however old he is. We were at the same restaurant. He was polite but seemed annoyed people were trying to interact with him. Yes, he's kind of fat but seemed like he could step onto set of a film tomorrow and be fine.

Ray is cute.

Please don't tell me he's living with some young starlet.

Jack should coffee klatch with DL fave Bridget 'Girth' Fonda.

3-0

I wouldn’t have recognized Gene. He always had a round face and big thighs. He’s just a little old man now, and still driving!

Gene looks awful.

Gene looks like the cryptkeeper. Jack looks a lot better in comparison.

[quote] Jack looks a lot better in comparison.

For that, we will have to wait till 2031 if Jack lives to 93.

R46 well, Gene looked the same as he does now at 90, so let’s say 4 years.

R29, thank you for sharing that story! I had never heard that one. Beatty was right! Nicholson and Diane Keaton were both superb in that movie.

Nicholson was also Woody Allen's first choice for the part in HANNAH AND HER SISTERS that eventually went to Michael Caine, and Nicholson would have been SO good in that.
