The Shining actor Jack Nicholson is making more and more public appearances - and we are overjoyed!

Although he stayed firmly out of the public eye for 18 months straight, Jack is now introducing himself back into public life, with him seen at another Lakers game.

The 86-year-old actor returned to Crypto.com Arena on Saturday (May 20) to attend yet another Los Angeles Lakers game.

Sitting in a VIP courtside seat with his youngest son Ray Nicholson, the lookalike father-and-son duo appeared upbeat and all-smiles as they beamed for some snaps while enjoying the game.

Jack, who has been a season ticket holder of Lakers games since 1970, could be seen donning a navy blue t-shirt with black jacket and some indigo jeans.

With some sunglasses hooked onto his t-shirt, Jack also had some binoculars around his neck so he could get a closer look at the action on the court.

The actor could be seen sat with his son Ray, 31, who is an actor with film credits in Out of the Blue and Panic.

Sitting beside his legendary dad, with whom he shares the same smile, Ray could be seen donning jeans, a black top and a checkered blazer.

The young chap is one of Jack's two children - including daughter Lorraine, 33 - from his five-year relationship with Rebecca Broussard, before they parted ways in 1994.

Jack is also dad to Jennifer, from his relationship with Sandra Knight; Caleb, who he welcomed with Susan Anspach and Honey, from his relationship with Winnie Hollman.

He also has an estranged daughter, Tessa Gourin, who was raised by her mother Jennine Gourin.

Doting dad Jack has previously said: "Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them. As a father, I'm there all the time. I give unconditional love."

Jack's string of public appearances at various basketball games held at the arena, which was once named the Staples Centre, come after claims that his "socialising days" were "long gone" - with Jack proving everybody wrong in recent weeks.

Back in January, a friend pleaded with Jack to come out of his home to show he is well.

At the time, the unnamed pal told Radar Online: "He's made it clear his home is his castle.

"But people just wish he'd come out of the house and pop up to tell them how — or at least reassure folks he's OK.

"Jack's in touch with certain relatives — especially Ray, his protégé, who he's so proud of — but his socialising days are long gone."
