Nicholson's next film role saw him reunite with [[James L. Brooks]], director of ''[[Terms of Endearment]]'', ''[[Broadcast News (film)|Broadcast News]]'' and ''[[As Good as It Gets]]'', for a supporting role for the 2010 film ''[[How Do You Know]]'' starring [[Paul Rudd]], [[Reese Witherspoon]], and [[Owen Wilson]]. The film was a financial and critical failure. In a September 2013 ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]'' article, Nicholson said that he did not consider himself retired, but that he was now less driven to "be out there anymore".<ref name="NotRetiring">{{cite magazine|first=Julie|last=Miller|title=Jack Nicholson–Retirement Clarification: The Actor Is Retiring from Hitting on Women, Not Acting|url=http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2013/09/jack-nicholson-retirement-report|magazine=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]|date=September 16, 2013|access-date=December 6, 2016}}</ref> As of 2023, ''How Do You Know'' remains Nicholson's last film role, and brings his filmography to 80 films.<ref name=TheWrap/> In 2013, Nicholson co-presented the [[Academy Award for Best Picture]] with First Lady [[Michelle Obama]].<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.businessinsider.com/jack-nicholson-michelle-obama-oscars-2013-2|title= The Funniest Moment From Michelle Obama's Surprise Oscar Appearance|website= [[Business Insider]]|accessdate= February 3, 2024}}</ref> This ceremony marked the eighth time he has presented the Academy Award for Best Picture (1972, 1977, 1978, 1990, 1993, 2006, 2007, and 2013).
