Jack Nicholson fans have rushed to his defence after unflattering pictures of the 85-year-old star circulated online.

The actor, best known for his roles films like in Batman and The Shining, hadn't been seen in public for eighteen months before he was recently photographed on the balcony of his Beverly Hills home.

Nicholson's picture, which showed him looking sleepy and wearing an orange t-shirt, appeared in a British tabloid where he was described as looking 'disheveled'.

Fans didn't take kindly to the pictures being published and rushed to their idol's defence.

One tweeted: "When you’re Jack Nicholson, 85, you can look however the f**k you want to look."

Another remarked: "He’s 85. Why not leave Jack Nicholson alone?"

"I looked like this when I woke up this morning… I’m 37," one fan admitted, while a fellow admirer of the A Few Good Men star added: "Jack Nicholson is still alive. He’s 85. I identify with this look. This look is my spirit animal."

One user said: "Jack Nicholson is still COOLER than most of us."

The actor was last seen in October 2021 alongside his son, Ray, sitting courtside at a LA Lakers basketball game.

Although Nicholson has kept a low profile in recent years, he is still held up as one of the best actors of his generation.

He remains the most nominated male actor at the Academy Awards, where he scooped up golden statues for his roles in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Terms of Endearment and As Good As It Gets.

His most recent film appearance was in the 2010 romantic comedy How Do You Know, where he appeared alongside Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd.

Nicholson's long and storied career in Hollywood dates back to the 1950s, and he has remained a big personality in Tinsel Town for decades.

The Shining star is also known for being vocal about his personal beliefs and has previously supported many Democratic candidates for president.

He even attempted to stage a boycott of the 2003 Oscars to protest the US invasion of Iraq which was beginning around the time of the ceremony.

The boycott ultimately didn't amount to much, as Adrien Brody, nominated for his role in The Pianist, was adamant that he was going to attend.

Reflecting on the proposed protest, Brody said: "I don't know about you guys but I'm going.

"My parents are coming. This doesn't come around too often. I know you guys are all winners. You can sit this out. But I can't."
