Here’s Johnny!

Jack Nicholson spent the holiday season with his nearest and dearest.

The three-time Academy Award winner, 87, appeared in a rare social media photo with his daughter, Lorraine Nicholson, who shared a series of snaps from the festive period at home.

In the image, which was Thursday, the Hollywood icon and Lorraine, 34, wrap their arms around each other.

The father-daughter duo posed in the study of their home, adorned with books, trophies, family photos and art. Lorraine captioned the post, “The giving season 🎁.”

Lorraine was also captured alongside her brother Ray Nicholson. Their mother is Jack’s ex-girlfriend Rebecca Broussard.

The former couple welcomed Lorraine in April 1990, before welcoming Ray in February 1992.

In another snap, Lorraine can be seen smiling alongside her brother as well as Duke Nicholson — their 25-year-old nephew and Jack’s grandson. Duke’s girlfriend, influencer Devon Lee Carlson, also appears in the pic.

Jack’s progeny have followed in his footsteps: Lorraine, Ray and Duke have successful silver-screen careers of their own.

Lorraine is best known for playing Alana Blanchard in the 2011 biographical film “Soul Surfer,” while Ray is best known for starring in last year’s “Smile 2,” 2006’s “The Benchwarmers” and the 2021 film “Licorice Pizza.”

While Lorraine tends to avoid bringing up her famous father, she previously reflected on her unusual childhood with Vanity Fair.

In the February 2024 interview, the actress said she often visited Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion as a child.

“I knew the mansion was not intended for children, but I asked no questions,” she told the outlet.

“I never went to summer camp. I never had an after-school activity. From the year I was born, 1990, until I was about 11, I went to the Playboy Mansion, because that’s where my friends were.”

In addition to Lorraine and Ray, Jack is also father to Jennifer Nicholson, born in 1963 to Jack and then-wife Sandra Knight.

He then welcomed son Caleb Goddard with his “Five Easy Pieces” co-star Susan Anspach in 1970.

After Caleb’s arrival, Jack and model Winnie Hollman welcomed daughter Honey Hollman in 1981.

He next welcomed daughter Tessa Gourin in 1994 with actress Jennine Gourin.

The “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” actor has rarely been seen out and about in recent years.

In January 2023, the actor’s friends shared concerns about his solitary lifestyle, saying they’re worried about the end game.

At that time, the Oscar winner hadn’t been seen in public in three years, with his pals claiming he was “living like a recluse.”

Multiple sources told  that month that the actor “doesn’t leave his house anymore” and that his “mind is gone,” listing concerns of possible dementia.

His last public appearance was at the Crypto.com Arena in May 2023, where he sat courtside to watch the Lakers in a playoff game. That same year, he was spotted out and about in his California neighborhood.

Nicholson spends most — if not all — of his time in his plush Beverly Hills mansion, according to the report. The lavish property belonged to his friend Marlon Brando, and Nicholson bought it for $5 million in 2005, a year after Brando’s death. The 3,303-square-foot pad boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a pool.

Two years ago, sources close to Nicholson expressed concern over his reclusive nature, saying he was becoming more and more like Brando.

As for his professional life, the actor’s last project was the 2011 rom-com “How Do You Know,” in which he starred alongside Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson.
