You Don’t Know Jack About Nicholson

13. He Loves the WWE

Everyone knows that Jack Nicholson is a big fan of the LA Lakers, appearing court-side at nearly every home game. What you may not know, though, is that Nicholson is a big fan of professional wrestling. An avid admirer of Ric Flair and John Cena, Nicholson is often seen at pro wrestling events.

14. An Unlikely Trio

Jack Nicholson is good friends with actors Bruce Dern and Harry Dean Stanton, having made friends with the guys in the early 1960s when they were still unknown actors making mostly Westerns. Nicholson is actually such a big fan of Stanton that he’s managed to sneak the initials “HDS” into nearly every film he’s ever made.

15. Another Famous Friend

In 1971, Nicholson starred in Carnal Knowledge, a film directed by Mike Nichols. Nichols had claimed at the time that Nicholson was the only man who could deliver the part. Alongside Nicholson in the cast was singer Art Garfunkel. The two men struck up a lifelong friendship; whenever Garfunkel visited Hollywood, he’d stay in a room specifically held for him.
