Movie buffs are talking all over social media about the legendary three-time Oscar-winning actor, Jack Nicholson. After a two-year absence from the public eye, Nicholson was spotted lounging on the balcony of his Beverly Hills pad. Now at 85, his disheveled appearance has fans and friends talking.

Since another public outing in October 2021, when he was seen cheering on the Lakers with his son Ray, Jack has kept a low profile. His recent sighting, however, has raised a few eyebrows, and concerns are mounting.

Some fear that Jack could end up like his former neighbor, screen legend Marlon Brando, who died alone. Although Jack has had his share of high-profile romances, including one with Angelica Houston that ended about 25 years ago, it appears his social butterfly days are behind him.

The “Shining” star was seen taking in the view of Franklin Canyon Reservoir, sporting a casual pale orange shirt and baggy sweatpants. A close friend told Radar Online earlier this year that Jack’s home is his refuge, but they wish he’d venture out more often to show everyone he’s alright.

Jack’s last on-screen appearance was in the 2010 film “How Do You Know,” and rumors have been circulating that he may have retired from acting due to memory issues related to dementia. While a friend suggested his mental health has declined, former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly debunked these claims on his “No Spin News” broadcast.

True fans have come to Jack’s defense, with one commenting that he looks exactly as they’d imagine an 85-year-old Jack Nicholson would. Others took aim at the paparazzi for intruding on his privacy.
