A rare new photo of Jack Nicholson has been posted on social media.
The 87-year-old actor’s daughter, Lorraine, released the image (below) as part of a series of holiday snaps. The image shows Lorraine embracing the three-time Oscar winner in what appears to be a library or office, with some of the actor’s awards lining a bookcase shelf behind him. She captioned the post, “The giving season.”
This reportedly marks the first public image of the three-time Oscar winner in nearly two years.

Nicholson lives in a Mulholland Drive residence in Beverly Hills; a 3,303-square-foot property he purchased from Marlon Brando in 2005. In recent years there have been unverified reports of people who were once close to the actor being concerned that he was becoming a recluse (not entirely unlike Brando in his later years). The new Instagram photo suggests his family is still very much a part of his life, however.
Nicholson’s last film was the 2010 romantic comedy How Do You Know, which also starred Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson. His last hit film was 2006’s The Departed, for which he was nominated for an Oscar.
