A pale orange t-shirt, black sweatpants, disheveled hair. A scene from the sequel to his horror classic The Shining?
No. Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson appeared on the balcony of his Beverly Hills home on Thursday, not in front of the camera. What’s so special about it? It’s the first time the world has gotten a glimpse of the actor in 1.5 years! Because: According to US reports, the 85-year-old has not left his property on the famous Mullholland Drive for some time.
Home is a place where Jack Nicholson seems to be comfortable: in the new photos, he’s enjoying the quiet, wiping sleep from his eyes, listening to the birdsong, peering curiously at the helicopter flying over his villa . After a short time he disappears back inside.
The great Nicholson retires. Friends and acquaintances are concerned.

The star from “The Shining” shot his last film 13 years ago. “I’m done with Hollywood, I’m tired of cameras and bright lights,” said Nicholson 2022 in the BILD interview.
As far as he’s concerned, his acquaintances shouldn’t have to worry about him.
“I have everything I need in life here,” he said of his villa last year. Nicholson’s daily routine? “I sleep until 11 a.m., then there are a few pills first.” However, they are harmless and would help against high blood pressure and cholesterol.
What does he not want despite all his love for his place of refuge? “I definitely don’t want to die alone at home,” Nicholson told BILD. A glimmer of hope that he might soon be a little more sociable again…
