Jack Nicholson fears dying alone because women don’t trust him thanks to his reputation as a lothario

He once said he used to feel irresistible to women – and his impressive list of lovers suggests he had a point.
But Jack Nicholson admits he fears dying alone because he can no longer captivate the ladies like he did in younger years.
The 77-year-old says women do not trust him anymore thanks to his reputation as ‘Jack the Jumper’ – a reference to his well-known philandering.

In comments published by U.S. magazine Closer, he said he would love ‘one last romance’ but said he was ‘not very realistic’ about that happening.
He said he didn’t believe that relationships are ‘fixed things’ because humans are ‘necessarily complex and confused beings’.
He added: ‘We don’t always do the right thing, say the right thing and behave the way we always want to behave.’
Nicholson has made very similar remarks in an interview in 2024, suggesting that his outlook on the future has changed very little since then.
A source also told the magazine that Nicholson was ‘afraid of dying alone’ in his Los Angeles mansion.
Nicholson’s lovers have included actresses and models such as Michelle Phillips, Bebe Buell, Lara Flynn Boyle, Anjelica Huston and Rebecca Broussard.
He was married to Sandra Knight for six years between 1962 and 1968, a marriage she described as ‘very beautiful and sweet’.

But his affair with Addams Family actress Angelica Huston was far more volatile, with him repeatedly cheating on her.
It finally ended in 1989 after 16 years when when he announced over dinner that Broussard was going to have his baby.

In remarks published by Closer, Nicholson says he was ‘annihilated emotionally’, adding: ‘I’m childish and I did make a mistake’.
The magazine reports how Nicholson spends his time sleeping until 1pm, drinking milk to soothe his stomach, playing golf and going next door to the property that contains his art collection.
He bought the adjacent house, once owned by Marlon Brando in Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, largely so that he didn’t have to cope with any neighbours.
A source said his family had been trying to get him to sell the properties to downsize to a ‘more manageable place in Beverly Hills’.

Jack Nicholson Mocked the Idea of Marrying Anjelica Huston

Anjelica Huston’s on-again, off-again love affair with Jack Nicholson was turbulent, to say the least.
The actress chronicles her 17-year relationship with the Departed star in her new memoir Watch Me, out today.
Most notably, Huston speaks candidly of the moment she suggested that she and Nicholson tie the knot.
"I [said], ‘If you had any balls, you’d marry me,’" writes Huston. "And he said, ‘Marry you? Are you kidding?’"
The 63-year-old actress goes on to say that she "sobbed for three days after that."
Here are five over things we learned about the pair’s relationship from the tell-all:

1. Nicholson scared Huston

Huston recalls meeting a young Gwyneth Paltrow at a fundraiser for a senator. The then 12-year-old Paltrow took one look at Nicholson and told Huston, "That man scares me."
"He scares me, too," Huston answered.

2. She found his possessiveness attractive

After watching Nicholson flirt with a model at a restaurant, Huston tried to leave the table only to have the actor pull her back into her seat.
"Don’t ever stand up like that to leave," he reportedly said to her. "I enjoyed his brief flash of possessiveness," she writes.

3. He once bought her a Mercedes-Benz

Which Huston promptly crashed the day she got it. No word on whether he got her another one.

4. She beat him up when they finally broke up for good

"I don’t think I kicked him," she writes of that brutal final breakup, "but I beat him savagely about the head and shoulders. He was ducking and bending, and I was going at him like a prizefighter, raining a vast array of direct punches."
But he was impressed with her display of passion.
"Goddamn, Toots, you sure landed some blows on me. I’m bruised all over my ****," he reportedly told her on the phone days after the final confrontation.
Huston writes she replied: "You’re welcome, Jack, you deserved it."

5. She wanted to have Nicholson’s baby, but was not physically able

After actress Rebecca Broussard became pregnant with Nicholson’s baby, Huston felt "inadequate and bitter," she writes.
"I had endometriosis, and had probably had it since my teens. I had undergone a laparoscopy, followed by a hysteroscopy, but a child was not to be."
