Jack Nicholson, 87, Makes First Public Appearance in Years, but One Detail Sparks Heated Controversy

Jack Nicholson, 87, made a rare public appearance at the highly anticipated Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special. The iconic The Shining star took the stage to introduce Adam Sandler’s performance. Having largely stepped away from the public eye since his last film, How Do You Know, Nicholson is typically only seen courtside at basketball games, making his attendance at the event all the more remarkable.

Fans were thrilled to see Jack Nicholson back in the public eye, but one detail quickly stole the spotlight — his companion at the event. Social media buzzed with curiosity and humor, with some asking, "Is that his girlfriend next to him?" while others remarked, "I really hope that is his granddaughter." As speculation spread, the mystery of his companion became just as much of a topic as his rare appearance.

However, the question was soon answered — Nicholson was accompanied by his daughter, Lorraine Nicholson, adding an even more special touch to the moment.

Beyond that, some fans were struck by how much Nicholson now resembles Leonardo DiCaprio, with one person quipping, "I thought it was Leonardo DiCaprio."

Others were more focused on the star power in the room, pointing out, "What a great capture and he looks as cool as ever! And.... the great DeNiro in the background." Whether it was his uncanny resemblance to a younger Hollywood star or simply the nostalgia of seeing him at such an iconic event, Nicholson’s return to the spotlight left a lasting impression.

Meanwhile, Lizzo sparked a buzz by looking slimmer than ever in her latest photos, but one detail has ignited a heated debate among fans.
