BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Legendary actor Jack Nicholson was seen almost after 18 months, enjoying a chirpy morning on the balcony of his home in Beverly Hills. The Oscar winner, however, appeared disheveled after several reports pointed out that the star’s buddies were worried for him. Many believed that he may end up dying alone like his former next-door neighbor and superstar Marlon Brando.

The 85-year-old actor is considered the most famous bachelor after his four-year-long marriage ended. The closest he was to being romantically involved with someone was almost 25 years ago with Angelica Houston. “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,” a friend, who didn’t want to be named, 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.”

'His mind is gone'

Rumors are rife that Nicholson is fighting dementia and is unable to remember his lines. One of his friends said, “Nicholson was in good shape physically, 'his mind is gone.'” Interestingly, Bill O’Reilly quashed such reports and called it all ’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. 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,” he said, according to Daily Mail.

'Nicholson is father to six children'

Despite never marrying again after his first failed marriage, Nicholson is a father to six children by five different women. Many slammed the actor for not accepting his alleged daughter Tessa Gourin who was born from his affair with waitress Jeanine Gourin. ‘The Shining’ star was last seen on-screen back in 2010’s ‘How Do You Know,’ which had starring alongside Owen Wilson and Reese Witherspoon in leads.
