After staying out of the spotlight for 18 solid months, reclusive Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson returned to Crypto.com Arena on Monday to attend his second Los Angeles Lakers game in 10 days.

Armed with his trusty binoculars, the retired 86-year-old looked great wearing an all-black suit and loafers as he took his VIP courtside seat beside his youngest son Ray Nicholson.

The 31-year-old Something from Tiffany’s actor is one of Jack’s (born John) two children – alongside 33-year-old daughter Lorraine – from his five-year relationship with his Man Trouble co-star Rebecca Broussard, which ended in 1994.

‘Jack’s in touch with certain relatives – especially Ray, his protégé, whom he’s so proud of,’ an insider told Radar Online in January.

The Nicholsons chatted up sportscaster Jim Gray before watching their beloved basketball team triumphantly beat the Golden State Warriors 104 to 101.

Jim made sure to leave the seat before producer Lou Adler – a longtime friend of the New Jersey native’s – arrived with his second wife Patricia ‘Page’ Hannah.

Jack – who became a Lakers season ticket holder back in 1970 – also had an animated conversation with a staffer wearing a headset, who kneeled before him.

At one point, Nicholson – whose longest relationship was with Oscar winner Anjelica Huston from 1973-1990 – was seen rocking his signature sunglasses with frames tinted orange.

On April 28, the former lothario attended the Lakers vs. Memphis Grizzlies game with Ray, as well as his 24-year-old grandson Duke Nicholson.

Curb Your Enthusiasm producer-star Larry David was among the first to welcome Jack back to Crypto.com Arena.

Sadly, Nicholson hasn’t graced the silver screen since portraying corporate CEO Charles Madison in James L. Brooks’ dismally-reviewed 2010 rom-com How Do You Know, which only earned $48.7M back from its $120M budget.

But the avid art collector has acted in some of the greatest films of all time including Five Easy Pieces, Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Shining, Terms of Endearment, Batman, A Few Good Men, As Good as It Gets, and About Schmidt.

Jack – who’s a California Air National Guard veteran – has certainly been decorated for his acting career – having won three Academy Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, and even a Grammy Award.
