Jack Nicholson is ready to return to the movies 15 years after his last film

updated
Actor Jack Nicholson, who is already, mind you, 87 years old, has decided that it's time to stop sitting at home and is planning to return to the cinema. And this is 15 years after the release of his last film - "How Do You Know...", where he played the father of the main character.

According to Dailymail, he was last seen in public in 2023 when he attended a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game, after which the legendary "Jack Torrance" disappeared from view. He stayed home, didn't have guests over. But, reportedly, he still has plenty of energy, and his loved ones helped him lose weight and take care of his health.

Rumors allegedly reached Jack, according to Radar Online, that he had already been buried and was seriously ill, but he just laughs at this. We at the editorial office also believe that it's too early for the star to end his acting career. Look at Clint Eastwood: he's now 94, and he not only continues to make films but also acts in them.

Nicholson looks quite lively. You can see for yourself: recently, his daughter Lorraine posted a selfie with him on Instagram: he's smiling, full of energy, and his gaze is still sharp and full of superiority.

And now he's decided to return to Hollywood. Insiders say he wants to show everyone that he's not a sick recluse, as everyone thinks. He wants to be back in the spotlight and do what he does best - act in movies.

Of course, it's not clear yet if he has enough energy, but everyone is happy that he's confident again and more like his old self. He's lost weight, feels good, gets up early, and reads news about various films. It's clear he's testing the waters.

We're personally glad Nicholson is coming back. He's undoubtedly one of the most talented actors of all time, and millions of viewers, we're sure, will be delighted to see Jack in new films.

In the meantime, there's a reason to revisit his best films. We won't recommend "The Shining," as it's already widely discussed. Instead, check out "Five Easy Pieces" (a road movie about a pianist, included in the National Film Registry) or our editorial favorite "The Passenger," where Nicholson assumes the identity of a deceased person.

But enough about Jack. It's not all about Nicholson. For instance, retired Daniel Day-Lewis is also planning a big return. We wrote that he will star in his son's debut film: Lewis even worked on the script. In short, the veterans are in the game, and that's something to be happy about.
