Jack Nicholson has refused to be a hypocrite by criticising the behaviour of his two youngest children.

The teenagers, 16 year old Lorraine and her 14 year old brother, Raymond, know about their father’s wild past and Jack knows that’ll put him in a difficult position.

He said recently: “I know I’m not going to become the first parent to outsmart a teenager. God knows I’m not a moraliser.”

“All I do is tell them, ‘Everything they say is bad for you is bad for you.’ And I speak from experience.”
