Michael Douglas offers rare update on Jack Nicholson

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMichael Douglas said Jack Nicholson has disappeared, and that he's up by his house walking around in his slippers.

2. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHe said it at a promotional stop for his memoir, One Helluva Ride, in Swansea, Wales.

3. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWith us from Swansea is Tamsin Gwyther, who owns a bookshop there. Were you at the event?

4. TG

   Tamsin GwytherI was, yes. To be fair, I was in the building, which is a bigger room than people think.

5. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo how close were you to the stage when he said it?

6. TG

   Tamsin GwytherFairly close. To be fair, I was in the queue for signing, and that's near the table.

7. TG

   Tamsin GwytherI sell the books, you see, so I'm always near the books.

8. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNear the books isn't near the quote. Did you hear the Nicholson part live?

9. TG

   Tamsin GwytherNo. To be fair, I heard it from a woman who heard it from a man by the coats. Then I straightened these.

10. TG

    Tamsin GwytherEleven copies, all in stock.

11. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the biggest Nicholson update in years reached us by coat check.

12. TG

    Tamsin GwytherIt reached everyone by coat check. Mr. Douglas is eighty-two and Mr. Nicholson is eighty-nine, and I'd say slippers are a sensible choice.

13. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentDouglas also said retirement happens and Nicholson deserves it. Did that make anyone buy the book?

14. TG

    Tamsin GwytherFour copies went right after. To be fair, three were already on hold, and I'd put my thumb on the scale for the fourth.

15. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNicholson hasn't been on screen since twenty ten, and the last word on him was a signing queue.

16. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTamsin, final question. Where can people get the update?

17. TG

    Tamsin GwytherPage one-oh-something, I'd think, but I haven't read it. It's eleven pounds ninety-nine. Eleven copies.

18. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the best source on Jack Nicholson is a hardback, and you've got eleven of them.
