At the time of posting, Jack Nicholson is still alive, despite the Google search “is Jack Nicholson dead?” bringing up over 12 million results. Rumors surged again after RadarOnline (again) reported Nicholson’s friends “fear the legendary lothario” will become one of the celebs who went into hiding before their death “like his late buddy Marlon Brando.”
“People just wish he’d come out of the house and pop up to tell them how — or at least reassure folks he’s OK,” a supposed insider told Radar. They said Nicholson’s in touch with relatives, and his kids visit regularly, but “It’s like he doesn’t want to face reality anymore — and that’s just sad.” Apparently, Nicholson’s “inner circle” worries that he has dementia. “Physically, he is fine — but his mind is gone,” a purported pal claimed. “It’s really sad to see such a super-talented actor like Jack go out this way.”

Nicholson and Brando were such close buddies that they lived in adjacent homes with a shared driveway. During their heyday, it was a hotbed of sex and drugs. However, Brando died in 2004, and Nicholson is just weeks shy of turning 86, per Britannica, so it’s hardly surprising it’s no longer party central. “I’m still wild at heart, but I’ve hit bio-gravity,” Nicholson told The Sun. “I can’t hit on women in public anymore. I didn’t decide this. It just doesn’t feel right at my age.”
