One of the most obvious reasons why you don’t see Nick Nolte as much as you used to these days is the fact that he no longer gives the tabloids anything to write about. Indeed, after decades of causing chaos wherever he goes, the Oscar nominee now appears to have settled down into a life of tranquility.
In a 2022 interview with Senior Planet, Nolte discussed his average day now that he’s an octogenarian. And there wasn’t an illegal substance or public feud to be found. He said, “I wake up before light and then I take Sophie to school. Afterwards, I stop by my son Brawley’s house and watch the news with him. After, I get back home, I might work in the garden because we grow a lot of our own food. Then I usually turn to some reading or a script I’m working on. I watch a little football now and then, and go to bed early around 8 pm.”

Not only does Nolte retire for the night at the un-rock and roll hour of 8 pm, he also doesn’t taste a drop of alcohol. The “Who’ll Stop the Rain” star added, “I stopped drinking rather abruptly, and I didn’t even have to fight it. Drinking and smoking just all went away about three or four years ago.”
