JACK Nicholson says he’s a “hostage” to his children and admits the secret to his successful parenting is down to luck!
The legendary Hollywood star says at 73 he has finally come to realize there is no surefire trick to raising kids.
“There’s an old saying,” says Jack who plays a bad dad in new movie How Do You Know. “You’re a prisoner to your children the rest of your life.’ You’re held hostage. I try to give them their head.
“I’m lucky I got great kids. They’re doing great and — other than the son — it had very little to do with me, actually. But they’re great.
“That’s what you do — you hope. You’re in the lap of the gods when you’re a parent. Don’t fool yourself. You do your best.”
