Jack Nicholson

　Born in the United States in 1937, Jack Nicholson is now 82 years old. His most famous works include One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Batman, and The Shining. He made his film debut in 1958 and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 69. Since then, he has become a renowned actor, a regular at the Academy Awards. In his private life, he is also known as an avid fan of the NBA basketball team, the Los Angeles Lakers (he was even seen playing basketball in 75's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, for which he won his first Best Actor Oscar). This photo shows him watching a Lakers game with a serious look on his face in 2011. Let's take a look at his hands.

　With Arabic numerals on a white dial, you can see a simple yet highly distinctive design that is recognizable from the brand. This is the Timex EasyReader (Ref. T20471). Released in 2001, this model was available in Japan until around 13. It is made of stainless steel with a 35mm diameter and comes with an elastic bracelet. At the time, it was sold for 8500 yen.

　Jack Nicholson's appearances include One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1975, Terms of Endearment in 83, and As Good as It Gets in 97. He has played a wide range of roles, from love stories showcasing urbane masculinity to human dramas brimming with humanity. On the other hand, it may be his roles filled with madness that are more strongly etched in people's memories. Many people will recognize the cover photo of him peeking out from a crack in a broken door in The Shining, a 1980 film based on a Stephen King novel and directed by Stanley Kubrick, even if they have never seen the film. In 89,Michael keatonHe starred in Tim Burton's Batman, playing the role of the second Joker, a hedonistic prankster. Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix, grossed over 41 billion yen at the domestic box office in the 32 days since its release. The 2007 film The Bucket List, in which he co-starred with Morgan Freeman, has been remade by two great actresses, Yoshinaga Sayuri and Amami Yuki, and is currently in theaters. Looking back on it, it's clear just how beloved his films have become in Japan.

　Although there were rumors of a comeback at one point, unfortunately he hasn't been seen on screen for a long time since his appearance in "The Beginning of Happiness" in 2010. He still appears at Los Angeles Lakers games, so it would be great to see him act on screen again.
