Actor Jack Nicholson has finally decided to shed his bad boy reputation at the age of 70.

The actor said that old age played a key role in his decision to get rid of his hell raising reputation and put a stop to his wild ways.

Nicholson is very well known for his party-loving lifestyle and weakness for beautiful women, but the veteran actor admitted that his ageing body is letting him down.

“You’re never too old. But I’m not as wild as I used to be. I found out those days had gone when I made The Shining. I thought: ‘I’m going to burn London to the ground every night!’ A few weeks into filming I jumped over a wall and I was out, hurt my back and I was laid up for eight weeks, Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

“That started me thinking, ‘Hey maybe I should pay attention to my job and not think about how wild I can be.’ I’m a quieter, more introspective man than I was 20 years ago,” he added. (ANI)
