Jack Nicholson retired in 2010 to be with his family

The actor stepped back from Hollywood in 2010 to spend time with his family.

Jack Nicholson hasn't acted since 2010, when he starred in How Do You Know with Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon. Michael Douglas recently revealed that Nicholson, 89, stepped away to spend time with his family.

Douglas said Nicholson is well and spends his days at home. The actor reportedly has six children from five different relationships.

He's made rare public appearances, including a 50th anniversary Saturday Night Live spot, but has largely stayed out of the spotlight for nearly 16 years.

Why it mattersIt shows how major actors sometimes choose their personal lives over fame, and explains why a Hollywood legend went quiet.

AustraliaNo direct Australian impact, but Nicholson's choice reflects a wider shift in how celebrities think about work and family.
