 Jack Nicholson: 70, still looking for love
Jack Nicholson is 70 now, but still like to fall in love again. The legendary 70-year-old Oscar winner confesses to AARP The Magazine he is still holding out hope for “that one big romance.”
Jack Nicholson added, "I never minded being a fool for love, It's nice to have a place to be foolish. Ask any old friend of mine, they'll say, Jack's pretty smart, but in this area the man is beyond the pale. Don't ask him anything about love. Or if you ask him, don't listen to him."
Jack says getting older has changed the way he woos women.
"I can't hit on a girl in public like I used to," Jack Nicholson says. "I never thought words like undignified' would come into my own reflections on myself, but I can't do it anymore."
Jack Nicholson, whose past flames include Anjelica Huston and Lara Flynn Boyle, explains: "I feel uncomfortable. I don't think anybody cares what I do in these areas, but it feels a little bit off to me." He says he'd date a woman close to his age - or younger.
"In fact, every year I like to cover a very broad spectrum," he says. "But you know? I've been single for quite a long time. I've been invested in my teenage children" with ex-girlfriend Rebecca Broussard.
Nicholson says nearly all his contemporaries tell him they want "that one last big romance."
"I don't do a lot of original screenwriting anymore, but if I were, I'd find a way to make this the dramatic narrative of a movie, because it's one of those silent yearnings of my own age group," he says.
Jack Nicholson co-stars with Morgan Freeman in "The Bucket List," about two terminally ill patients on a final fling.
Jack Nicholson has received 12 Oscar nominations, winning for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Terms of Endearment" and "As Good as it Gets." |
