In the biography Five Easy Decades, author Dennis McDouglas, asserts that Jack Nicholson has an illegitimate child who is handicapped.
According to the book, the Oscar winner is the father of six children, and two of these were illegitimate.
According to the author, "There are two other possibles whom those closest to Jack whisper about, including one young man who lives with handicaps brought on by his actress mother’s drug abuse…"
Nicholson’s lawyer commented on the biography in the New York Post, "The allegations of the handicapped son are false and inaccurate. There is no handicapped son of Mr. Nicholson."
