Jack Nicholson has occupied the hearts and minds of numerous cinema-goers for a long time. Thanks to the acting legend, the audience has witnessed some of the best performances and impeccable portrayals. Known best for movies like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and The Shining, he was last seen on the silver screen in the movie How Do You Know.
And ever since then, there has hardly been any glimpse of the actor in public. While many believe he might return, the actor himself once gave a pretty brutal response to a fan when asked if he is making any movies.
Jack Nicholson’s Brutal Response To Fan Wondering If He Will Get Back In Action
One thing that attracts the audience to Jack Nicholson is the incredible acting prowess and range he possesses. After decades of entertaining viewers with his magnetic presence and unparalleled portrayals across varied genres, the actor has since retreated from public life, rarely ever seen.
Over the years, there have only been a handful of times he has been spotted in the public. One of his last interactions with fans was back in 2016 when The Shinning star stopped to sign some autographs for his fans.
While signing, a certain fan asked what many have been dying to know, ‘You working on any new movies, Jack?’ Responding to his fan, he straightaway stated ‘No.’, a pretty brutal but interesting answer.
After signing, he quietly went back to his car, and that was his last interaction with fans (via LAD Bible). While fans would love to have him back, the actor seems to want nothing but to enjoy his time after a splendid career, as his friend Lou Adler recently stated.
Jack Nicholson Wants To Sit Under A Tree And Read
While fans since 2010 have been wondering why Jack Nicholson has taken an ‘early’ retirement from a very impressive career, Nicholson seems to be having a well-deserving, quiet resting time. Recently, his long-time friend, Lou Adler, was on the WTF With Marc Maron podcast and revealed some interesting details about Nicholson.
“A friend of mine wanted to put him in a movie. And he had a conversation with him. But Jack says, ‘I don’t want to do it.’ He goes, ‘You know what I did today? I sat under a tree, and I read a book.'”
Adding on, he stated that the Hollywood legend has been enjoying his life ever since his withdrawal from the world of entertainment and glitz.
“Jack’s doing whatever he really wants to do. He wants to be quiet. He wants to eat what he wants, he wants to live the life he wants.”
While his countless loyal fans would love to see him again on the big screen one last time, they understand that the Oscar-winning actor owes his life and his time and deserves to spend it with ease and comfort after giving some of the best performances in the history of cinema to the audience.
