JACK NICHOLSON HAS BEEN SEEN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2 YEARS AFTER FRIENDS VOICED FEARS

The three-time Oscar winner’s disheveled appearance comes after multiple reports suggested the star’s pals were concerned he would die alone, in a similar manner to his former next door neighbor and fellow screen legend Marlon Brando.

Nicholson, 85, is arguably La La Land’s most famous bachelor. He was married for four years prior to making it in Hollywood. His most famous romance with Angelica Houston ended nearly 25 years ago.

The Shining star was last seen in October 2021 alongside his doppelganger son, Ray, sitting courtside watching his beloved LA Lakers. Ray, 31, is one of the few people that Nicholson keeps in contact with, according to reports.

On Thursday, Nicholson was pictured enjoying the fresh air overlooking Franklin Canyon Reservoir. He wore a loose-fitting pale orange shirt and baggy sweatpants as he leaned up against a balcony railing on the crisp morning outing.

Nicholson’s appearance comes months after multiple reports suggested The Shining star has become a recluse Nicholson took turns sitting and standing while enjoying the Los Angeles morning. In video exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, birds could be heard chirping while he tapped on the balcony railings.

He’s made it clear his home is his castle. But 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,’ an unnamed friend told Radar Online in January.

‘Jack’s in touch with certain relatives — especially Ray, his protégé, who he’s so proud of — but his socializing days are long gone,’ they added. His last on-screen appearance came in 2010’s little known How Do You Know, starring alongside Owen Wilson and Reese Witherspoon.

The New Jersey-native has dodged rumors for years that he’s retired from acting as he is battling dementia and is unable to remember his lines.

In January, his unnamed friend told Radar that while Nicholson was in good shape physically, ‘his mind is gone.’

Shortly after those reports emerged, former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said during an episode of his No Spin News broadcast that reports that Nicholson’s mental health had diminished were ‘bull.’

I visited Jack Nicholson a few months ago. I had a long conversation with him and he follows the No Spin News very closely and had all kinds of intelligent questions for me,’ O’Reilly said.

‘I have been friends with him for decades. He is 85, okay? But he is more intellectually nimble than the president of the United States,’ the former Inside Edition host continued.’ Despite his confirmed bachelor status, Nicholson has fathered six children by five different women.

Nicholson has been criticized for never acknowledging his paternity of his alleged daughter Tessa Gourin, who was born out of his brief affair with waitress Jeanine Gourin.

In February, Tessa, an aspiring actress, published an essay in Newsweek titled ‘I’m Jack Nicholson’s Daughter – I Wish People Could Call Me a Nepo Baby.’

‘Having grown up without my father, I’ve sat on the sidelines and watched in frustration as other celebrity children have seamlessly secured roles or been signed to huge agencies,’ she wrote. ‘More recently, I have grown even more frustrated at what I think is a missed opportunity for these so-called “nepo babies” to own their position and embrace it instead of complaining about it,’ Tessa continued. For nearly four decades, Jack believed that his mom was his sibling, until 1974, when Time magazine uncovered the truth and told him about its findings. While speaking to Patrick McGilligan for his biography, entitled Jack’s Life, the Shining star called it ‘the most f**ked thing he had ever heard.’ He also said the discovery was ‘dramatic’, but added that it ‘wasn’t’ something he’d ‘call traumatizing.’

The actor later told Rolling Stone, when asked about the shock revelation: ‘I was very impressed by their ability to keep the secret, if nothing else. It’s done great things for me.’

“Hi, I’m Robin.”

I felt an instant spark, like electricity coursing through my veins. “Selena. Nice to meet you.”

I found myself leaning in as we chatted, captivated by his stories and wit. He spoke of his work as a software engineer, his love for rock climbing, and his dreams of traveling the world.

With each word, I felt myself falling deeper under his spell.

When the bell rang again, Robin stood up, hesitation brimming in his eyes as he gripped the back of the chair.

“Listen, I know this is unconventional, but would you like to grab a coffee after this? I’d love to continue our conversation.”

My cheeks flushed, and my heart raced. “I’d really like that. Tomorrow? I said, feeling the heat creep into my cheeks as he kissed the back of my hand.

“Sure! Will be waiting for you in the café downtown!”

As we left the restaurant later that night, I couldn’t shake the feeling that my life was about to change forever.

The next afternoon, I couldn’t stop smiling as I recounted my evening to my mom, Daisy.

“He sounds wonderful, honey,” she said, her eyes crinkling with happiness. “I haven’t seen you this excited about someone in years.”

“I know, Mom. There’s just something about Robin. It’s like… like I’ve known him my whole life.”

“Well, don’t get ahead of yourself. But I am happy for you. Do you have a picture?”

“Oh! Yeah, we took a selfie.” I pulled out my phone, swiping to find the photo. My heart fluttered as I looked at Robin’s smiling face. “Here he is!”

The moment I turned the screen towards her, Mom’s face turned pale.

“Mom? What’s wrong?” I freaked out.

Her eyes were wide with panic, fixed on the phone screen. “Selena, oh my God… it’s HIM. The man who robbed my friend Janet! CALL THE POLICE RIGHT NOW!”

“What? No, that can’t be right.” I shook my head, confusion and disbelief warring inside me.

“I’m telling you, it’s him! He conned Janet out of her life savings. Promised to marry her, took every penny she had, and then vanished! We need to call the police right now, honey!”

My stomach dropped, a cold dread seeping into my bones. “Are you sure?” I asked, desperately hoping she was mistaken.

“Positive. Janet showed me his picture a hundred times when we were trying to track him down. I’d never forget that face.”

I stared at Robin’s smiling face on my phone, feeling sick. The warm brown eyes that had seemed so kind now looked calculating. The charming smile now seemed sinister. How could I have been so blind?

Mom reached for her phone, her fingers shaking as she started to dial 911. Without thinking, I grabbed her wrist, stopping her. “Mom, wait!”

“What do you mean, wait? We need to turn him in!”

“If we call now, he might get spooked and disappear again,” I said slowly, a plan forming in my mind. “But, what if we set a trap?”

Mom’s eyebrows shot up. “What are you thinking?”

“I have a date with him tomorrow night. What if I go, act normal, and you call the police to meet us there?”

She hesitated, worry etching lines across her forehead. “I don’t like the idea of you being alone with him. He’s dangerous, Selena.”

“It’ll be in a public place, Mom,” I assured her, even as my heart raced at the thought. “And think about it. This might be our only chance to catch him. To get justice for Janet and who knows how many others.”

After a long moment, she nodded, fear still lingering in her eyes.

As we began to plot our plan, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was balancing on a knife’s edge. One wrong move and everything could come crashing down.

The next evening, I sat across from Robin at a cozy café, my nerves on edge. He looked as handsome as ever in a blue shirt that brought out his eyes.

But now, his charming smile made my skin crawl. Every compliment and every gentle touch of his hand on mine felt like a lie.

“You look beautiful!” Robin said, reaching for my hand across the table.

I forced myself not to flinch away, plastering on a smile that felt more like a grimace. “Thank you. You look nice too.”

As he launched into a story about his day, I discreetly texted Mom under the table, “Now!”

“So, tell me more about your family,” I said, desperate to keep the conversation going.

A shadow seemed to pass over Robin’s face so quickly that I almost missed it. “It’s complicated,” he said after a moment.

Before I could probe further, I saw two uniformed officers enter the café.

They approached our table, and Robin’s easy smile faltered. “Is there a problem, officers?” he asked, his eyes darting between them and me.

One of them stepped forward, his hand resting on his belt. “Sir, we need you to come with us for questioning.”

“Selena, what’s going on?”

“I’m sorry, Robin. But we know what you did to Janet. And probably to countless other women.”

I thought this was it. But what happened next left me reeling.

After a tense conversation with the officers, during which Robin vehemently denied knowing any Janet, they released him. And he walked back to our table.

“Selena, I don’t understand. Who’s Janet? What’s this all about?”

I blinked, utterly lost. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. He was supposed to be led away in handcuffs, not standing here looking at me like I’d betrayed him.

“The woman you conned. My mom’s friend. You… you took everything from her.”

Robin shook his head, running a hand through his hair. “I’ve never met anyone named Janet in my life. But, wait a minute, I think I know what happened here.”

He pulled out his phone, his fingers flying across the screen. After a moment, he turned it towards me. I gasped, my hand flying to my mouth.

The photo showed two identical men — Robin, and another who could have been his clone. Same eyes, smile, and same everything.

But while Robin looked relaxed and happy in the photo, his double had an edge to him, a hardness in his eyes that sent a chill down my spine.

“That’s my twin brother, Adrian,” Robin revealed. “We haven’t spoken in over six months. He’s had some trouble with the law. I’ve been trying to help him, but he disappeared. I think he might be the one you’re looking for.”

I felt the blood drain from my face, shame and horror cloaking me in equal measure. “Oh my God. Robin, I’m so sorry. I thought—”

He held up a hand, cutting me off. “It’s okay. I understand. Anyone would have done the same thing in your shoes.”

But I could see the hurt in his eyes. I’d accused him of being a criminal and had the police come after him. Would he ever forgive me?

As if on cue, Mom burst into the café, her eyes wild as she scanned the room. When she spotted us, she rushed over, stopping short when she saw Robin still sitting there.

“What’s going on? Why isn’t he in custody?”

I stood up, placing a hand on her arm. “Mom, we made a mistake. A big one.”

Robin stood as well, offering his hand to my mother. “Mrs…?”

“Daisy,” Mom said, frowning.

“Mrs. Daisy, I understand there’s been a misunderstanding. I’m not the man who hurt your friend. But I think I might know who did.”

He showed her the photo, and I watched as the same shock I’d felt played across Mom’s face.

“I can’t believe it,” she murmured, looking between Robin and his brother’s picture. “They’re identical.”

“Adrian and I… we’ve always been close. Or we were. But lately, he’s been making some bad choices. I’ve been trying to help him, but he disappeared a few months ago. I’ve been worried sick.”

I reached out, touching his arm before I could stop myself. “I’m so sorry for putting you through this, Robin. I feel terrible.”

He gave me a small smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Don’t. You were trying to do the right thing. To protect others from being hurt.”

Mom shook her head, sinking into a chair. “I can’t imagine how hard this must be for you, dealing with your brother’s actions.”

Robin’s smile faded completely. “It’s been challenging. But I’m not giving up on him. I can’t.”

An awkward silence fell over the table. I fidgeted with my napkin, trying to find the right words to fix this mess I’d created.

How do you apologize for accusing someone of being a criminal? For bringing the police down on an innocent man?

Finally, I took a deep breath, steeling myself. “Robin, I know this isn’t how either of us imagined this evening going. And I completely understand if you never want to see me again. But, if you’re willing, I’d love to start over. Maybe we could try another date? One without any police involvement or mistaken identities?!”

He looked at me for a long moment. My heart raced as I waited for his response. Finally, he broke into a genuine grin, the warmth returning to his eyes.

“I’d like that, Selena. I’d like that a lot!”

As we left the café, walking into the cool night air, I couldn’t help but feel that despite all the chaos and misunderstandings, this might just be the beginning of something wonderful.

And terrifying. Because now, somewhere out there, was a man who looked exactly like the one beside me. A man who was everything I’d feared Robin to be.
