Michael Douglas says Jack Nicholson is healthy and enjoying retirement
Michael Douglas told reporters that Jack Nicholson is in good health, spending time at his home as he approaches his 90th birthday.
Michael Douglas said that his longtime friend Jack Nicholson is doing well and has largely withdrawn from public life. Speaking during a promotional tour for his memoir One Helluva Ride in Swansea, Wales, Douglas explained that Nicholson spends his days walking around his property in slippers and prefers to stay out of the spotlight.
"He’s not working any more. He’s well. He has disappeared. I know that," Douglas said, adding that the actor deserves the rest as he nears his 90th birthday next April.
Douglas, who is married to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, noted that he still sees Nicholson occasionally but respects his desire for privacy. He recalled that Nicholson’s last film role was in How Do You Know (2010) and highlighted their shared history in Hollywood, including Douglas’s production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest in 1975.
The comments came as Douglas promotes his new memoir, which details his personal and professional experiences.
