Jack Nicholson is kicking off 2025 with those who matter most.

Last year, Jack's son, Ray, opened up about his relationship with his famous dad.
"My mom says, 'Ray, you were such a beautiful boy, and then you started to look like your father,’" the actor, who starred in "Smile 2," joked on "CBS Mornings."
He also told the outlet that he and his Oscar-winning father "don’t talk that much about acting."
"I think probably I’d hang onto his word too much. I think it's important for me to find my way," Ray said.

At the premiere for "Smile 2," Ray told Deadline he and his dad are "very different people."
"I was born in 1992, he was born in 1937. The things that affect me don’t necessarily affect him. Obviously, I love him. He’s my inspiration. I ate dinner with him every night. I studied it, that’s how I learned to be a human being. So, of course we’re gonna be kind of similar," the 32-year-old said.

Nicholson also reportedly has four other children: Jennifer Nicholson, 59, whom he shares with his first and only wife, Sandra Knight, Caleb Goddard with Susan Anspach, Honey Hollman, 42, with model Winnie Hollman (though he’s never formally acknowledged paternity), and Tessa Gourin, who claims she is the actor’s illegitimate daughter with Jennie Gourin, though he’s never publicly addressed the claim.
