Horror fans have spotted something very unexpected in Smile 2.
On the film’s poster, one of the actors can be seen flashing the signature sinister Smile grin and staring through his eyebrows with a menacing look. Funnily enough, this is a seriously similar pose to the iconic stare this actor’s father used while filming one of the best rated horror films of all time.
Ray Nicholson is the son of Jack Nicholson, who played the terrifying Jack Torrance in 1980’s The Shining, and horror fans are losing their minds over the “genius” casting decision for the upcoming sequel movie Smile 2.

Social media has been ablaze with conversation regarding his role, with one person writing: “I’m not gonna lie. I saw that and immediately thought: ‘That guy looks like Jack Nicholson.’ Now I know why and mind blown.”

“Oh, he definitely looks like his dad did [in] The Shining. Amazing,” wrote one amazed film fan. Another comment read: “That’s actually great casting.”
“Clever marketing by the people making Smile 2. Using Jack Nicholson’s son on the movie poster, making a face eerily similar to his father’s trademark sinister smirk? That’s given me enough intrigue to watch it now, even though I hated the first movie,” reported one eager horror fan.

Others demanded a raise for “whoever came up with this brilliant casting stunt”. The 32-year-old actor has also starred in Promising Young Woman and Out Of The Blue, and is the youngest son of Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson.
Smile 2 is reportedly “so gory and disgusting” that one actor actually vomited on set. Lukas Gage, also known for his role in Euphoria, admitted: “If you love the first movie, you’re gonna love this one. It’s so terrifying.”

“It was the first time I’ve ever been one a set where I was genuinely afraid and I actually got sick to my stomach in one take. I didn’t think I would, I just – it was so gory and disgusting!”
