Why has Jack Nicholson disappeared?


Does he have dementia? Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins are the same age he is and they're still working.

reply

Bc he got a % of Batman's gross. doubt Pacino or Hopkins ever got paydays like that

reply

He does not have to...

reply

I've read that he has memory issues, so he just decided it was time to retire.

reply

He actually stated publicly a number of years ago that he needs to retire because he could no longer remember his lines. Very sad!

The man is 85 years old. If he wants to chill and take it easy in his own home then he should be entitled to that.

He's likely not fit enough to be attending events and to be out meeting people.

my friend is family friends with nicholson, and also an indie filmmaker. he once said that jack promised to "come out of retirement" to act in one of his projects. he also admitted that would never happen, because jack has hardcore memory issues brought on by alcoholism.

reply

That's sad to hear but he's well into his 80s so it's well assumed he was already retired.

reply

He's retired. Whatever the reason, he hasn't disappeared. He still attends Laker games.
