Last I saw w/ Beatty was Bulworth and that was what, 30 years ago? Nicholson did The Departed, but that was almost 20 years ago as well.

He wasn't looking or sounding good. Seems like he was sundowning.

During an appearance in the November 2, 2023, episode of Marc Maron's podcast, WTF with Marc Maron, record producer Lou Adler, a longtime friend of Nicholson's, related an anecdote pertaining to the unofficial retirement of the actor, who had not done a film in the 13 years since How Do You Know, saying, "A friend of mine wanted to put him in a movie. And he had a conversation with him. But Jack says, 'I don't want to do it.' He goes, 'You know what I did today? I sat under a tree and I read a book.' That sounds like Jack." Adler stated that Nicholson was "doing whatever he really wants to do," adding, "He wants to be quiet. He wants to eat what he wants. He wants to live the life he wants."

So it sounds like Jack is no longer ridin' on the merry-go-rounds, and just had to let it go. At 86, I can't say I blame him. He's earned the retirement.
