Jack Nicholson has dementia, friends fear

Jack Nicholson has not been seen publicly in over a yr—and shut friends fear the mythical Hollywood actor is suffering from Dementia.

I believed it was once well known that he retired because of cognitive problems. Is 3300 sqft considered a sprawling mansion? I believed mansions had been around 10,000 sqft.

So what you’re saying is he will be giving out the Best Picture Oscar this yr.

He’s sharing diapers with Barbara Walters.

Now here's a guy that knows the best way to pack a snack handbag!

^^And the kid is having a look longingly at it, as well. ^^

He's 84...now not 40. People get old and die.

The proper shape is:

SAD LAST DAYS: Jack Nicholson has dementia, friends fear

There were rumours of Jack Nicholson have dementia for years now.

That article mentions that he “hasn’t labored since 2010,” as if he can’t be retired at 72/73.

Anyway, sigh. This is horrible if true. I simply posted the eating place scene from Terms of Endearment. The approach he delivers “ass” along with his breath sends me.

I’ve heard a health care provider speak on dementia not too long ago and he mentioned that the disease returns its victims to the core of who they had been/are as an individual. So, in the event that they were a just right individual of their existence, with dementia they’re pleasantly at a loss for words. If they have been a horrible particular person, you’d see that mirrored of their dementia. Etc.

Based on my stories, I will maybe see this as true, regardless that it’s not as black/white. I’ve been round patients who have swung each extremes of their demented state. I had one patient lately who mostly laughed and said silly things, however she may be non-compliant and paranoid (who knows if there used to be any justification for that paranoia). I had some other affected person who all the time wanted to grasp what the “plan” was once and thought everybody used to be conspiring towards him. He could be reasonably imply, as well. But I think like he would possibly had been a gradual soul (but, I’m undecided). Most of the sufferers have a disposition that was once standard for them.

Regardless, dementia is nasty. Godspeed to his family and any DLer coping with it in theirs.

*couldn’t be retired at 72/73.

(Obviously)

Someone should take a look at what he is been been typing on his typewriter.

R12 Why would you consider he has a typewriter?

Because he's turn out to be a Remington salesman, Rose.

R15, R16, sorry, no longer a Nicholson fan, but just googled him and typewriter and now get the reference from The Shining, which I've by no means watched.

All paintings and no play makes r14 a dull boy.

We can handiest hope he is spared a Nurse Ratched.

What a pig and most effective adequate actor. Do no longer gaf.

Is Lara in a tutu taking care of him?

Fuck off R20. Nicholson has the awards to prove how excellent he's, so just fuck off, asshole.

As long he is not throwing little dogs into rubbish chute.

Didn't he spend decades doing numerous cocaine?

Unfortunately that is one of the vital attainable consequences, That is that if he has any dementia at all, as far as we realize it's all rumour, in all probability he is simply being sensible being in his mid eighties and no longer going out in instances of Covid.

He was once pictured at a Bernie rally closing wintry weather and he regarded nice. Fat as fuck but high-quality.

When somebody retires there are all the time going to be health rumors. Maybe he just realized he was once too outdated to break out with “playing Jack Nkcholson” anymore so he sought after to spare himself the humiliation. Who knows may well be a large number of reasons.

It’s now not like he’s DeNiro with a money draining ex he has to improve.

R22 he was always “Jack” and I was never impressed. Go fuck yourself for calling me an asshole!

You're right Xennial. But I think he would possibly have had one more performance in him. He signed onto a Toni Erdmann remake 4 years in the past with Kristen Wiig attached ahead of chucking up the sponge. Not that we wish to see a remake of that positive film, but the position itself would have been a good and poignant one for him focusing only on his persona's courting to his daughter more so than About Schmidt. An ideal ultimate car if Lisa Cholodenko would had been able to spin it with a contemporary feel.

I might have liked to look that, but I suppose it wasn't intended to be. I do not see any point to the project now unless they may be able to get someone like Warren Beatty or even Robert Redford or Duvall.

R27

Beaty - too difficult

Redford - Retired, despite the fact that he later retracted that so of

Duvall - He looked so feeble in Widows I believed he is probably not longer with us anymore however I notice he has completed every other movie and is filming some other

Hackman can be a really perfect selection and though he has no longer officially retired it does appear to be he has.

I'm hoping the Toni Erdmann re-make by no means is going ahead. Lisa Cholodenko is more miss than hit and Wiig is a one hit marvel (Bridesmaid) - want she would retire.

I like his work, I don’t like HIM. But dementia is a bitch, for many who love the person. Does anyone love him?

During the lockeded-down Xmas shopping season when retail outlets had capacity limits I used to be 4th in line outdoor one among L.A.'s major literary bookstores. And behind me a person and the lady in the back of him in line began chit-chatting. He told her his brother had telephone get right of entry to to Jack Nicholson, because his brother did some more or less repair or tradeswork at Nicholson's space and Nichsolson took a liking to him. He then stated Nicholson known as his brother at all hours of the evening to ramble on and one. He mentioned "drunk and dementia."

[quote]So what you’re announcing is he will be giving out the Best Picture Oscar this year.

Great - simply what we need: a tie for Gladiator & La La Land

From Radar Online, 2013: Jack Nicholson Retires Due to Memory Loss Problems

He’ll still take a seat courtroom aspect at Los Angeles Lakers’ video games, but Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson has quietly retired from the film industry, RadarOnline.com has solely learned.

The 76-year-old icon has no plans to appear in movies once more after a profession spanning five decades.

“Jack has — without fanfare — retired,” a well-placed Hollywood movie insider showed to Radar.

“There is an easy reason why at the back of his decision — it’s reminiscence loss. Quite frankly, at 76, Jack has reminiscence issues and will not remember the strains being requested of him.

“His memory isn’t what it was.”

I thought Robert Duvall used to be useless

I’m studying Sam Was don’s The Big Goodbye, about the making of Chinatown. It’s simply OK - roughly overwritten, and turns out to gloss over the character flaws of Polanski and others in that crowd. But there’s some fun gossip about Jack, together with that he would keep a large bowl filled with cocaine on his espresso table all the time, foe somebody to only assist themselves. He additionally gave away vials of cocaine as Christmas gifts.

r1, yeah, that was my first thought too

Between the coke and the cigarettes, it is a miracle he's lived as long as he has.

[quote] There have been rumours of Jack Nicholson have dementia for years now.

Thank you, Mongo.

Mongo no like Jack Nicholson have dementia?

^^ Apparently Jack Nicholson have more than one personalities

r2 all I have to mention to you is. . .

Adele Dazeem

Poor Kristen Wiig. She used to be supposed to do a big film with him.

OMG Everybody's getting outdated and demise

R44 I believe the Toni Ehrdmann remake was once canceled years ago

It seems other folks get previous and die a lot now, more so than earlier than.

That complete technology is nearly long gone.

I by no means preferred him, however in The Pledge I thought it used to be touching the way in which he performed the detective with dementia. I used to be puzzled when a psychologist asked the nature if he were given flushed--is that a symptom of dementia? Anyway, I'm sorry for anyone in this situation.

R26 - “ he was always “Jack” and I used to be by no means inspired. Go fuck your self for calling me an asshole! —Awards don’t mean Jack”

You suppose you’re clever R26, by means of attempting, and failing miserably to spin “Jack” like look at me I’m funny?

You’re now not humorous, and you’re a bigger asshole than I thought you had been when I read your first remark at R20.

Hit the link, then read and weep Mary. Awards DO topic, and also you sound like a bitter, so-so actor, who unfortunately, by no means made it. Or, a undeniable previous miserable asshole.

We have failed as a society if we fear other folks getting outdated. It occurs.

The ever-aphoristic (and off-base) R53.

R22 I AM a undeniable outdated miserable asshole…who isn't inspired with Jack’s awards, having never been inspired with Jack’s acting and is most unimpressed with Jack’s remedy of ladies.

Thanks, R34, I'm with you. I was so taking a look ahead to Sam Wasson's guide about CHINATOWN since I love Wasson (he wrote the great Fosse bio) and I like the film, but I literally may just now not get via it. I might not be sophisticated enough to get it!

Jack is a smart actor, one of the most all-time greats. For many within the film neighborhood, he is the greatest. His AFI speech moves me like no different. The actual deal.
