Jack Nicholson looked back to his old self as he made a very rare public appearance for the first time in over a year.
The Shining actor, 85, headed out to see a basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors at the Crypto.com Arena in LA.
Jack looked dapper in a black blazer and matching button-up with white cuffs, opting for a dark pair of slacks to finish off his outfit.

The veteran actor slung a pair of binoculars around his neck in order to catch all of the action and could be seen chatting to his son Ray as he sat court-side.

Jack sported grey stubble and looked cheery as he concentrated on the game, at times gesturing with his hands as he reacted to the nail-biting playoff.
It’s his first public appearance in more than 18 months – and Jack was last seen out on the balcony of his apartment, with friends and neighbours worried he was becoming a “recluse”.

In April 2023, the actor was spotted at his home in Beverly Hills wearing a loose orange t-shirt and sweatpants, looking dishevelled as he clutched his head and watched a helicopter pass overhead.
He stepped out of his $10million luxury compound in his socked feet and could be seen with his silver hair standing on end.
Sources claimed a number of friends feared the actor would die alone – as his former next door neighbour Marlon Brando did.

One anonymous friend told Radar Online in January 2023: “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.
“Jack’s in touch with certain relatives — especially [son] Ray, his protégé, who he’s so proud of — but his socialising days are long gone.”
