Heeeeeeeere’s Jack Nicholson . The 87-year-old—who has not been seen in public in almost two years—made a rare and heartwarming cameo with his daughter Lorraine Nicholson in a recent holiday photo roundup. In a picture from her Jan.
2 Instagram post, the 34-year-old sat next to the three-time Oscar winner, wrapping her arms around her dad’s shoulders while he clasped her arm and leaned into her with a small grin. Jack sported a multicolored, striped button-down shirt while Lorraine donned a long-sleeved black top. The pair shared a warm embrace while seated in what appeared to be his study, as they were in front of a bookshelf that housed Jack’s multiple Academy Awards, Golden Globes and countless other accolades from throughout his career.
For Lorraine, her close bond with her dad played a role in her decision to pursue acting. “He’s my mentor,” she told Us Weekly in 2011. “I’m going into the family business because we’re so close and he’s such an inspiration.
I admire him so much.” Other photos from the roundup—simply captioned, “the giving season”—included one group selfie that featured Lorraine’s 32-year-old brother Ray Nicholson , who has also followed in his dad’s footsteps to become an actor, recently appearing in the movie Smile 2 . Lorraine and Ray—whose parents are Jack and his ex Rebecca Broussard —are two of Jack’s six kids.
The Shining star is also dad to Jennifer Nicholson , 61, Caleb Goddard , 54 Honey Hollman , 42 an.
