What an illustrious career the man has had. He deserves a long break, if you ask me.
He is one of the most famous and much loved actors of this century with a career spanning over five decades.
But it has now been reported that Jack Nicholson has retired from acting at the age of 76.
Radaronline.com claims that the Oscar Award winning star has quietly stepped away from the movie business without any official announcement.
A Hollywood insider told the website: 'Jack has — without fanfare — retired'.
The source also claims that the incredibly talented star is suffering from memory loss.
'There is a simple reason behind his decision — it’s memory loss,' they say.
'Quite frankly, at 76, Jack has memory issues and can no longer remember the lines being asked of him.
'His memory isn’t what it used to be.'
Jack reportedly recently turned down the role of an aging alcoholic father in the upcoming film, Nebraska.
He had apparently told the producers on the film that he 'was not interested' in taking on the role and it went to actor Bruce Dern, 77, instead.
The As Good As It Gets star has not starred in movie since 2010, when he joined the cast of How Do You Know in 2010, alongside Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson.
