Brooks film. He and Nicholson were trying to recatch lightning in a bottle a third time, with two of their films, Terms of Endearment and As Good As It Gets , earning Jack Academy Awards, for best-supporting actor and best actor , respectively.
According to Forbes , despite playing a part in the death of the bloated romcom era, How Do You Know found new life on Netflix. In the summer of , streaming audiences took in this decade-old film and moved it into the top five of the most-watched movies on the platform.
While it may not make up for the quality of the film or that it's akin to finding what might be Nicholson's last film in the discount bin at Walmart, Netflix at least gave this unloved film the space to stretch its legs and run free, enjoying the fresh air before it's ultimately forgotten forever. Rather than retired, Jack Nicholson appears to be uninspired. His selectiveness has taken on a new life lately. If I don't, I won't. To get him back in the saddle, he'll need to read something great.
But Nicholson sees an unsettling shift happening in audiences, one that he's not about to embrace any time soon. And I'll never do that type of movie. If that means he never acts again, Nicholson sounds perfectly capable of sleeping easy at night.
Everybody always said, 'There's no way you could not work. In recent years, Jack Nicholson's life has quieted down, but some reports would have you believe he's become a hermit. In early , the Daily Mail painted him as a recluse, stating that he rarely leaves his house or dresses in anything other than a bathrobe.
Long-time friend, the late Harry Dean Stanton, described Nicholson's quiet lifestyle more appealingly. He paints. I saw some of it a few years ago, it's nice. He enjoys it. I would imagine it's relaxing for him. I mean, I'm not driven," he said to The Sun. In fact, there's part of me that never really liked being out there. I learnt how to function within 'out there.
That's just a natural progression. Now years-old, Nicholson is no longer the man about town he once was, but that's to be expected. He's certainly led a very interesting and successful life all things considered. Nicholson is an actor who tends to steal any movie he appears in, whether that be playing the lead or a small supporting role. All the various phases of his career proved interesting to watch, and there's definitely millions of movie fans who would love to see him headline a project again.
At this point though, that seems highly unlikely. To be clear, Jack Nicholson has never officially announced his retirement from acting. That said, it's been 11 years since he last appeared in a film, so retirement is certainly the logical conclusion. Similarly, Nicholson has never spelled out exact reasons for his disappearance from the big screen. One obvious likely factor though is the abject failure of romantic comedy How Do You Know , which is currently his last film.
A source said at the time, "There is a simple reason behind his decision — it's memory loss. Jack has memory issues and can no longer remember the lines being asked of him. He just doesn't want a tribute. He's happy to tacitly join the retirees club like Sean Connery. Time, though, has changed things. Nicholson added that taking on new roles is often a source of stress for him.
He went on to discuss his thoughts on the changing movie landscape. They may want just to see more bombs, more explosions, because that is what they have grown up with. And I'll never do that type of movie.
At the height of his career, Jack Nicholson had a reputation for being a playboy. In , he told The Sun that his priorities had changed.
I didn't decide this, it just doesn't feel right at my age If men are honest, everything they do and everywhere they went was for a chance to see women.
A lot of me being an actor was about that, and about me. Today, Nicholson is a homebody, spending most of his time at his house on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles.
The food is better at my house.
