Danny DeVito Gives Rare Update on His Longtime Friend Jack Nicholson: "He Is Doing 'Great"
Yara Sameh Danny DeVito has given a rare update on his longtime friend Jack Nicholson, with whom he first worked 50 years ago and still retains a close bond with. 'I just saw Jack a couple weeks ago — it was his birthday a month ago, and he's great,' DeVito told PEOPLE while reflecting on his experience making his breakthrough film, " One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ", ahead of Fathom Entertainment's 50th anniversary re-release of the pic on July 13 and 16. Public sightings of Nicholson, 88, have grown increasingly rare — though he's been largely absent from his once-fabled court side seat at Los Angeles Lakers games — the Academy Award winner did make a notable on-camera appearance during the live broadcast of "SNL50: The Anniversary Special" in February to celebrate five decades of Saturday Night Live. But behind the scenes, DeVito, 80, says he's stayed in regular contact with his friend after bonding on the set of "Cuckoo's Nest" over their shared New Jersey roots. Indeed, DeVito's next film before the sitcom Taxi vaulted him to TV stardom was in the Nicholson-directed 1978 comedy "Goin' South". The two would also appear onscreen together in James L. Brooks' seriocomic, 1983 Best Picture winner "Terms of Endearment", the 1992 biopic "Hoffa" directed by DeVit,o and the 1996 Tim Burton comedy "Mars Attacks!". DeVito recalled how he and the other young actors in the "Cuckoo's Nest" cast — including Christopher Lloyd and Brad Dourif — were quietly 'in awe' of Nicholson when they convened at a working state sanitarium in Portland, Oregon, to shoot the film. Nicholson was emerging as a respected actor, a major movie star and a cultural icon all at once, and his performance in "Cuckoo's Nest" would cement his reputation, ultimately earning him his first Oscar for Best Actor — out of 12 career nominations, he scored additional wins for Best Supporting Actor in "Terms of Endearment" and again for Best Actor in 1998's "As Good as It Gets". 'We're in the presence of this guy who's really at his moment, where he was breaking out into the big time,' DeVito recalled of the initial encounter with Nicholson, who was hot off a string of knockout turns including "Easy Rider," "Carnal Knowledge," "The Last Detail," and "Chinatown". Despite Nicholson's increasing profile, DeVito noted the actor remained deeply grounded, having launched his career in low-budget fare like the films of Roger Corman. "There was no need for an icebreaker," he recalled. "He was immediately just so embracing…He started out exactly the way everybody else did, where he couldn't get a job. It was like he came to Hollywood and he was going to just write and direct, and then Easy Rider comes along after the Corman stuff… So he was in our milieu, and he was always just as open and genuine, and we all felt it immediately." 'Of course, he was doing it because he's that way,' DeVito added, 'and he was also doing it because that had to be, because we had to be all joined at the hip in that movie, and we had such great performances.' DeVito had been an admirer of Nicholson's since the actor's earliest work, and while he planned to keep it to himself during initial production, 'he and I have a little history, because we were born in the same hospital in New Jersey.' He recalls how his sisters worked in the same local hair salon circuit as Nicholson's older sister. "When I was a kid, I always heard about this really handsome guy from Neptune who went out to California and became a movie star," he said. DeVito's cover 'I didn't want to ruffle the waters; I didn't want to add anything to the experience at that time' was blown early on when his longtime friend and former roommate Michael Douglas, who was making his first foray into producing on the film, spilled the beans to an enthusiastic Nicholson. 'Jack came running around the corner: 'Ahhhh! You're from Asbury Park?' DeVito laughed. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" would go on to become only the second film in history, after 1934's "It Happened One Night", to claim all five major Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actor (Nicholson), Best Actress (Louise Fletcher), Best Director (Milos Forman), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Lawrence Hauben and Bo Goldman). The film is today universally considered a masterpiece. A new 4K restoration of the film from the Academy Film Archive and Teatro Della Pace Films will be released in 1,000 theaters nationwide by Fathom Entertainment on July 13 and 16. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Danny Devito gives rare update on close friend Jack Nicholson's welfare
Danny DeVito has shared details of his friend Jack Nicholson's recent welfare as the 88-year-old has rarely been seen in public over the last decade. Once known for his frequent appearances courtside at Laker's games, Nicholson is now rarely seen out and about, with the recent exception of his cameo during the live broadcast of SNL50: The Anniversary Special in February. DeVito, 80, has been close friends with Nicholson since the pair first worked together on One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest 50 years ago. 'I just saw Jack a couple weeks ago — it was his birthday a month ago, and he's great,' DeVito told People Magazine in a recent interview. Nicholson and the Always Sunny in Philadelphia star bonded on the set of the iconic film, with DeVito going on to star in the Nicholson-directed 1978 comedy Goin' South three years later. They also both appeared in James L. Brooks' seriocomic, 1983 Best Picture winner Terms of Endearment, the 1992 biopic Hoffa directed by DeVito, and the 1996 Tim Burton comedy Mars Attacks!. 'We were in the presence of this guy who's really at his moment,' DeVito says, reflecting on meeting Nicholson during production of the now-classic 1975 drama. By then, Nicholson had already built a formidable résumé with Easy Rider, Carnal Knowledge, The Last Detail, and Chinatown. Cuckoo's Nest would cement his status, earning him his first Academy Award for Best Actor and launching a career that would tally 12 nominations and three wins. Despite that, DeVito says Nicholson remained deeply grounded. 'He started out exactly the way everybody else did, where he couldn't get a job,' DeVito recalls. 'It was like he came to Hollywood and he was going to just write and direct, and then Easy Rider comes along after the Corman stuff… So he was in our milieu, and he was always just as open and genuine, and we all felt it immediately.' Nicholson was last seen on Saturday Night Live's 50th birthday special, with the show pulling stars that included Steve Martin and Sir Paul McCartney as well as Nicholson. The 87-year-old has rarely been seen in public in the 15 years since his last film, How Do You Know, released in 2010. Got a story?
