He's got a paunch and he's now 70, but Jack Nicholson is still a lady-killer

It takes a very special sort of fitness regime to keep Jack Nicholson in his current shape.

Exercise One: Take an extra-large baguette stuffed with your favourite filling and raise it to the mouth. Lick lips. Eat.

Exercise Two: Wash it down with a Diet Coke.

Exercise Three: Light up a cigarette. Exercise Four: Do some gentle stretching exercises (not too vigorous, now) watched by bikini-clad lovelies.

Nicholson, 70, has always enjoyed the attentions of the fair sex and he was in his element aboard a speedboat off Saint Jean Cap-Ferrat, in the South of France.

At one point he dived smoothly into the water before struggling to haul himself back on board.

But basically, all play and no work makes Jack a happy boy, and he eventually settled down for a soothing nap.

The three-times-Oscar-winning actor, who revels in his hellraising image, was married once, to actress Sandra Knight, but they divorced after having a daughter, Jennifer.

Among his other numerous lovers are the actresses Anjelica Huston, Rebecca Broussard, with whom he had two more children, and Lara Flynn Boyle, who is more than three decades his junior.

His popularity with younger women might not be entirely unconnected, some cynics suggest, with the fact that he has a fortune estimated at £140million.
