The three-time Oscar winner’s disheveled appearance comes after multiple reports suggested the star’s pals were concerned he would die alone, in a similar manner to his former next door neighbor and fellow screen legend Marlon Brando.
Nicholson, 85, is arguably La La Land’s most famous bachelor. He was married for four years prior to making it in Hollywood. His most famous romance with Angelica Houston ended nearly 25 years ago.
The Shining star was last seen in October 2021 alongside his doppelganger son, Ray, sitting courtside watching his beloved LA Lakers. Ray, 31, is one of the few people that Nicholson keeps in contact with, according to reports.

Nicholson’s appearance comes months after multiple reports suggested The Shining star has become a recluse Nicholson took turns sitting and standing while enjoying the Los Angeles morning. In video exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, birds could be heard chirping while he tapped on the balcony railings.
At one point, the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest star keenly observed a helicopter flying overhead.
He’s made it clear his home is his castle. But people just wish he’d come out of the house and pop up to tell them how — or at least reassure folks he’s OK,’ an unnamed friend told Radar Online in January.
‘Jack’s in touch with certain relatives — especially Ray, his protégé, who he’s so proud of — but his socializing days are long gone,’ they added. His last on-screen appearance came in 2010’s little known How Do You Know, starring alongside Owen Wilson and Reese Witherspoon.

Shortly after those reports emerged, former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said during an episode of his No Spin News broadcast that reports that Nicholson’s mental health had diminished were ‘bull.’
I visited Jack Nicholson a few months ago. I had a long conversation with him and he follows the No Spin News very closely and had all kinds of intelligent questions for me,’ O’Reilly said.
‘I have been friends with him for decades. He is 85, okay? But he is more intellectually nimble than the president of the United States,’ the former Inside Edition host continued.’ Despite his confirmed bachelor status, Nicholson has fathered six children by five different women.
Nicholson has been criticized for never acknowledging his paternity of his alleged daughter Tessa Gourin, who was born out of his brief affair with waitress Jeanine Gourin.

In February, Tessa, an aspiring actress, published an essay in Newsweek titled ‘I’m Jack Nicholson’s Daughter – I Wish People Could Call Me a Nepo Baby.’
‘Having grown up without my father, I’ve sat on the sidelines and watched in frustration as other celebrity children have seamlessly secured roles or been signed to huge agencies,’ she wrote. ‘More recently, I have grown even more frustrated at what I think is a missed opportunity for these so-called “nepo babies” to own their position and embrace it instead of complaining about it,’ Tessa continued. For nearly four decades, Jack believed that his mom was his sibling, until 1974, when Time magazine uncovered the truth and told him about its findings. While speaking to Patrick McGilligan for his biography, entitled Jack’s Life, the Shining star called it ‘the most f**ked thing he had ever heard.’ He also said the discovery was ‘dramatic’, but added that it ‘wasn’t’ something he’d ‘call traumatizing.’
The actor later told Rolling Stone, when asked about the shock revelation: ‘I was very impressed by their ability to keep the secret, if nothing else. It’s done great things for me.’

In a profoundly inspiring story of love and determination, Joseph Williams defied seemingly insurmountable odds to find not just love, but an enduring and unbreakable connection with Vania. Their journey, marked by initial uncertainties and obstacles, ultimately led to a heartwarming union in 2020.
Williams encountered many challenges and faced repeated rejections.
Born with otofacial syndrome, Williams endured a lifetime of bullying and isolation until he found the love of his life. Despite ongoing criticism, the couple is now happily married and has emerged from these challenges even stronger. Unable to speak or chew due to his disability, Williams communicates through sign language and relies on a feeding tube.
The love he experiences with his wife has reignited his self-esteem following years of feeling worthless. This has motivated him to advocate for embracing life despite differences. He expressed fervently, “I understand that I am different and that some people will think I am ugly and not accept me, but I am still a person who has a heart, feelings, and a brain. I should be treated with respect, just as anyone else should be.”
During difficult times, love persists.
Joseph prefers to receive questions rather than stares regarding his condition. He emphasizes the importance of independence, as he experienced excessive protectiveness during his youth. His adoption stemmed from his birth mother’s surprise at his condition, yet he remains steadfast in not letting it define or limit him.
Despite enduring difficult treatments such as bone and skin grafts along with jaw reconstruction, Joseph faced self-esteem challenges in his youth, fearing a life of isolation. However, in 2019, he met Vania, who would become his wife. Their relationship started as friends and evolved into a deep and meaningful love story.
Curiosity blossomed into a deep love that bound them together.

Despite these challenges, Joseph and Vania forged a deep bond. Their friendship gradually evolved into a romantic relationship, though Vania initially struggled with feelings of embarrassment. Over time, she fully embraced him for who he was. They communicate using a text-to-speech app and sign language. When Vania’s mother, Janice, first met Williams, she was initially surprised but curious about his condition.
Despite initial uncertainties, their love triumphed.
Vania’s mother expressed her admiration, saying, “He’s a remarkable man. He does things that, you know, normal men don’t do. He’s a hard worker, for one, he’s attentive to Vania. He cares about her, he loves her, and she loves him.”
Despite initial doubts, Williams and Vania got married in 2020, supported by her parents and his loved ones.
Their relationship has sparked various opinions from people, with many making assumptions about them. Some have commented, “She can’t kiss him,” or “She must be cheating on him.” However, their unwavering determination and deep love for each other have never stopped them from pursuing their dreams, proving that love conquers all and prevails above all else.
Their story is a testament to the immense power of love to overcome obstacles and defy societal expectations. Through highs and lows, doubts and triumphs, they have forged a remarkable bond that will endure a lifetime.
Countless other stories similarly demonstrate that love is an unstoppable force capable of conquering any adversity.
