Jack Nicholson Is Like 'Elderly Leo D' at 85 & Close to Lookalike Kids after Their Mom 'Abandoned' Him

• Jack Nicholson was spotted after a hiatus of 18 months.
• The actor had a long successful career, but there's one thing he regrets
• He's also been a devoted father to his children, Lorraine and Ray

Jack Nicholson is a legendary actor and filmmaker who could even be considered one of the greatest actors of all time. He also has known as a notorious womanizer.

Nicholson had slowly disappeared from the acting scene until he made it official and announced his retirement from movies, shocking many of his fans.

However, the 85-year-old was happy with the success that he had built and did not feel the need to work until death. But the actor felt he lost his cool around the ladies as he got older.

He admitted that much of his life as an actor was attracting as many women as possible; at some point, he even felt irresistible to women. But with age, he has become less of a magnet.

When it comes to his career strides, Nicholson could not be more proud. He said, "I've had everything a man could ask for, but I don't know if anyone could say I'm successful with affairs of the heart."

Although his one regret is not having a lasting romantic relationship, the three-time Oscar winner admitted that he was unrealistic about finding a partner.

He believes he tried his best, but his reputation cost him because many women did not trust him nor his promises.

When asked how getting older has changed his life, Nicholson said he could not hit on women anymore. He even referred to himself as "undignified," a word he never thought would be connected to his name.

Nicholson has been out of the limelight for 18 months but was recently photographed on his balcony at his Beverly Hills home.

"The Shining" star wore a pale orange t-shirt with baggy sweatpants as he enjoyed the morning breeze. These photos came after many worried that the actor would die alone, but his fans thought he looked like a person enjoying retirement.

Fans were excited to see the legendary actor and thought he looked suitable for his age. One fan even said he looked like he was in his 60s and not 85. "Looking good for his age! Wonderful actor!" added another user.

The concern about him dying alone did not worry his fans; one person said, "Jack is fine. Just chill, enjoying his retirement." Nicholson's fans thought he looked like an elderly Leonardo DiCaprio. "Kinda looks like an elderly Leo D. Well done!" wrote the fan.

Nicholson has served his time in Hollywood, and his fans are happy to see him grow old, and reap the benefits of his work. "Living his best life, good luck to him. I've seen people in a lot worse shape than him at 85 years old," remarked a fan.

How Did the Mom of His Kids "Abandon" Him?

When Nicholson was 56, his 31-year-old girlfriend, Rebecca Broussard, the mother of his youngest two children, left him. It was rumored that Broussard had left the "Batman" star for a younger man, but he did not see the breakup coming, which hit hard.

When Nicholson heard, he had just wrapped up several projects he was working on, such as "The Two Jakes," "Man Trouble," and "A Few Good Men."

The actor said he did not know who the new man was, but he admitted that the whole thing made him feel alone. "You're left. You're abandoned. And you'll not be over it for another year," he candidly expressed.

On the contrary, Broussard did not want to say much about her split from Nicholson. She admitted that there was another special person in her life, but he was not the reason behind her break up with "The Departed" star.

However, the change she experienced after becoming a mother might have played a role, though Broussard did not get into detail. The former couple shares Lorraine and Ray, and because of them, they built a healthy co-parenting relationship.

The breakup came at a time of transition for the actor. He has always been fortunate to have multiple jobs and remembers going seven years without a break. But he was dumped the minute he took time off, which served as a reality check and a hit on his ego.

How Did Jack Become a Devoted Dad to His Loraine and Ray?

Outside of the ups and downs of his relationship and a successful career, Nicholson is a devoted father. He spoke about the kind of father he is to Lorraine and Ray.

Having a good relationship with their mother has influenced his children, but he said he wants to inspire them without putting too much pressure.

One of the fatherly responsibilities he enjoyed was reading to his kids before bed, which he did from a young age. But he did admit that he has included them in less exciting activities like the opera and ballet, luckily they enjoy watching basketball games with him.

Nicholson also said his children were comfortable with showbusiness and loved being on set, "they are good set rats," he said. The actor's children are older now; Ray is 31, and Lorraine is 32.

He remembered taking Lorraine on a college tour and longing to spend more time with her. He would ask how her day at school was, but most questions were unanswered.

Eventually, he realized that teenagers did not like to hang out with their parents, and he had to let go of those aspects of parenting to let his children do their thing.

As for his boy Ray, Nicholson revealed that he gave up a summer holiday to France to get in shape for the varsity football team.

Fortunately, Ray made it and became the youngest on the team. Even after breaking his collarbone, he still woke up at 06:00 a.m. to train daily.

Even though Nicholson does not always know what goes through Ray's mind, he knows he will put the necessary work into whatever interests him.

The father and son also like to enjoy basketball games together. Nicholson and his son were spotted at the Lakers Game, and they were all smiles. He’s also enjoyed games with his daughter Lorraine.

After his split with Broussard, he did not miss out on spending time with his children because they lived ten minutes away from him. He bought his ex-girlfriend a house after they welcomed Lorraine.
