Jack Nicholson, who routinely cheering up cancer victims after 'Bucket List' film, is now afraid of leaving the hospital, worries of knowing who'll still be alive on his next visit.
Jack Nicholson has been comforting and consoling cancer victims at a Los Angeles hospital. The Hollywood legend has been visiting the dying patients at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, and cheering them up with card games and stories of his film career.
A hospital source said: "He jokes, plays cards and treats patients like long-lost friends. He tries to see as many beds as possible and he brings in DVDs of his movies and talks hem through what happened behind the scenes."
The Oscar-winning actor first went to the hospital to research his role in new movie "
The Bucket List", in which he plays a dying man.
However, Jack became so touched and moved by the patients he has carried on his visits despite finishing filming. Hospital workers say his visits raise the patients' spirits immensely and they look forward to seeing him. But Jack, 69, finds it hard to leave the hospital because he worries who will still be alive when he next visits. The source added: "He feels terrible leaving, knowing he's maybe seen some of them for the last time."
