Nicholson is famous as being a bit eccentric. This has helped him in his numerous roles, especially his multitude of villain roles. He is a well-known L.A. Lakers fan, rarely missing a game and has repeatedly been threatened to be kicked out of the stadium for yelling at referees during games. He also allegedly had a sort of prank war with author-journalist Hunter S. Thompson while Thompson was alive. Their bizarre game once had Thompson leaving an elk heart on Nicholson’s doorstep, leading the police to believe there was a plot against Nicholson’s life.
