Reclusive Jack Nicholson’s Kids ‘Really Stepped Up’ For Him: ‘Seems to Be in a Much Better Place’


Jack Nicholson doesn't go out much anymore, but is lucky to have his six children doing on him as he battles health woes, a source exclusively tells Closer.

Jack Nicholson warmed the hearts of fans with a rare return to the spotlight as he cuddled up to daughter Lorraine in an Instagram post from January 2 – as an insider exclusively tells Closer how she and other family members are helping the Hollywood icon to live the best life he possibly can at age 87. Sitting under a tree dreaming of being a butterfly may be Jack’s ideal retirement, but in lieu of the stress of being a leading man and appearing in over 80 films, the aging actor is facing a new battle – his rumored struggle with memory loss and possible dementia. Quite frankly, at 76, Jack has memory issues and can no longer remember the lines being asked of him.” Almost 12 years on, his symptoms have yet to improve, according to the first source, who says that even though he’s still laboring under health woes, “he does seem to be in a much better place and it’s thanks to his kids.”
