This recent sighting happened nearly a year after Jack Nicholson was seen at the celebration for SNL’s 50th anniversary in February – one of his rare public appearances lately. He was also spotted in Beverly Hills in 2024, again needing a cane for support. Back in 2021, he delighted fans when he unexpectedly showed up at a Los Angeles Lakers game with his son, Ray.

Jack Nicholson hasn’t acted in a film for over a decade. His last role was in the 2010 movie How Do You Know, with Reese Witherspoon and Owen Wilson, and since then, he’s largely stayed out of the public eye, preferring a quiet, private life.

I’ve been so curious about how he’s been doing, and thankfully, people who are close to him tell me he’s doing well! I was really happy to hear that Danny DeVito recently shared an update with People magazine – it was a relief to know he’s okay.

Danny DeVito recently shared that he’s seen Jack Nicholson and wanted to let fans know Nicholson is doing well. “I just saw Jack a couple of weeks ago. He recently had a birthday, and he’s great,” DeVito said.

The actors have been friends for decades, ever since they worked together on the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. DeVito also shared that Nicholson remained down-to-earth despite his fame. “He was instantly warm and welcoming,” DeVito said, explaining that Nicholson always stayed genuine and approachable, even as his career soared.

Fans were thrilled to see the rarely-seen Nicholson, and his brief public appearance reminded everyone how much they’ve missed him. The sighting sparked both excitement and worry about his well-being.
