A recent article claims that Jack Nicholson’s friends are concerned about the actor’s growing isolation.

An anonymous insider near the 85-year-old entertainer claims he is sequestered at his rich Mulholland Drive property in Los Angeles in light of the fact that “he would rather not face reality any longer.”

More than a year ago, in October 2021, the A-lister attended a Los Angeles Lakers game with his 30-year-old son Ray.

After the notorious womanizer’s last Lakers game in January 2020 in the midst of bits of gossip about his chronic infirmity, he showed up over a year after the fact.

In an interview with RadarOnline, the source said that people who are close to the actor, who has six children from five different women and has only been married once, worry that he will become a recluse like his friend Marlon Brando, who was famous.

“Jack’s in touch with certain relatives – especially Ray, his protégé, who he’s so proud of – but his socializing days are long gone,” the insider said, referring to the 30-year-old son of the star and actress Rebecca Broussard.

During the actor’s two previous Lakers games, the actor’s youngest child, Ray, was seen sitting next to his father.

The sources compared the once-legendary lothario’s isolation to Brando’s tragic final years as a leading man, when he gained weight after settling in Tahiti decades before his death in 2004 at the age of 80.

The source says that Jack’s friends are comparing him to Brando because he died almost alone after such a colorful life.

“His kids will visit, but they’re his only connection to the outside world,” the insider continued. It seems he no longer needs to face reality, which is simply horrendous.

In the 1970s, when they were living together on Mulholland Drive with Warren Beatty, Brando and Nicholson earned a reputation for being ferocious womanizers and troublemakers.

The street was dubbed “Bad Boy Drive” following their highly publicized antics; The property that Nicholson is alleged to have purchased with the funds from the drug-fueled, generation-defining film Easy Rider was reportedly the subject of an open house.

In 2009, insiders revealed to Express that Nicholson took a novel approach to the housewarming by “walking around completely naked from dawn until sunset whether he had visitors or not” for three months.

The testimonies of insiders indicate that Nicholson’s behavior toward visitors while residing in the same residence could not have been more drastically altered.

Suspicions that the actor’s health is deteriorating are said to be making matters worse, according to sources. The actor’s son Ray and older sister Lorraine have been “looking after him,” according to close friends who told Radar that they thought the actor might have dementia.

“I think his son and daughter are looking after him now,” a friend of the three-time Academy Award winner said in September 2021. “Jack and I have been friends for a long time, but he no longer leaves his house…”

The acquaintance went on to say that, “physically he is fine – but his mind is gone,” and that “the Mulholland Drive neighborhood is pretty tight-knit, and they are all worried about him.”

“It’s really sad to see such a super-talented actor go out this way,” an insider said.

The actor continues to live in his impressive estate, which is 3,303 square feet, has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a pool, and a swimming pool, and has been his home for many years. The house has been the area of a considerable lot of Nicholson’s widely discussed undertakings since the 1970s.

Entertainers and models like Michelle Phillips, Bebe Buell, Lara Flynn Boyle, Anjelica Huston, and Rebecca Broussard have been Nicholson’s darlings.

He was married to Sandra Knight for six years, from 1962 to 1968; She described their relationship as “very beautiful and sweet.”

However, he had a much more turbulent relationship with actress Angelica Huston from Addams Family, and he frequently cheated on her.

Everything came to an end in 1989, after 16 years, when he told Broussard at dinner that he was expecting a child.

Closer obtained Nicholson’s comments, in which he states, “I’m childish, and I did make a mistake,” and that he was “annihilated emotionally.”

The magazine claims that Nicholson sleeps until one in the afternoon, plays golf, drinks milk to calm his stomach, and visits the house next door where he keeps his art collection.

He for the most part bought the adjoining Marlon Brando-time home on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles so he wouldn’t need to manage any neighbors.

As per a source, his family had been forcing him to sell the homes so he could scale back and move to a “more reasonable spot in Beverly Slopes.”

Jack and Ray have a long history of watching the Los Angeles Lakers, despite the fact that the father-son duo has attended numerous basketball games together. However, over the past year, the actor has been notably absent from his usual courtside role.

Despite their recent losing seasons, Jack has supported the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team for many years.

He and Adam Sandler famously left the Los Angeles Lakers in 2013 when they lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Since his 2010 film How Do You Know, Jack has taken up painting as a hobby and led a more relaxed lifestyle.
