After a break of 18 months from public appearances, Hollywood icon Jack Nicholson returned to the limelight, attending his second Los Angeles Lakers game within 10 days at the Crypto.com Arena on Monday.
The 86-year-old retired actor, legendary for his roles in films like "Chinatown" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", arrived in style, dressed in an all-black suit and loafers. With his trusty binoculars in tow, Nicholson was seated in his VIP courtside seat alongside his youngest son, Ray Nicholson.
Ray, 31, known for his role in 'Something from Tiffany's', is one of Jack's two children, the other being his 33-year-old daughter Lorraine.
The siblings are the product of Nicholson's five-year relationship with Rebecca Broussard, his co-star from 'Man Trouble'.
