Michael Keaton dishes on wild ‘partying’ with Batman costar Jack Nicholson at the Playboy mansion and Paris nightclubs in the ’90s

by

As an ardent admirer of Hollywood legends, I find myself utterly captivated by the tales of Michael Keaton‘s past escapades with the iconic Jack Nicholson. The 1990s, it seems, were a time when these two titans of the silver screen shared more than just the limelight – they shared some wild nights and intellectual exchanges that only they could truly appreciate!

Michael Keaton used to party hard with Jack Nicholson in the 1990s.

In 1989, the 72-year-old celebrity crossed paths with the legendary 87-year-old Hollywood star during their time working together on the film “Batman.” Michael took on the role of Batman, while Jack portrayed The Joker in this production

Originally from Pennsylvania, this individual currently stars in the sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”. In their past, they experienced quite a few exciting moments with a three-time Academy Award recipient

They hung out at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills, California with Playboy bunnies.

And Jack took Michael to Paris on a private jet where they started partying after 10pm at night.

Instead, Keaton has expressed to folks that the party environment was not appealing to him; instead, he found the intellectually stimulating conversations between the two more enjoyable

Rather than spending his time partying at exclusive clubs and sipping champagne from the Louis Roederer House, Michael preferred having a conversation with the actor from The Shining instead

‘I just really liked him,’ said Keaton.

‘He’s really, really intelligent. Really. A real reader. Just has an innate intelligence, and then a self-taught intelligence… Because he devours books.’

Jack was skillful in conversations, always having interesting topics to discuss and expressing strong opinions when engaged in a dialogue

Often, Nicholson, previously involved with Anjelica Huston and Lara Flynn Boyle, yearned for an extravagant lifestyle

‘He took me to Paris in a jet,’ shared Keaton.

In a similar manner, I was as prepared as a Boy Scout for an outing. Just like any ordinary person would, I was all set to step out. However, it wasn’t until 10 o’clock or half past ten that Jack finally emerged from his room

Jack was enjoying himself tremendously. He was often seen in Parisian nightclubs such as Club Castel late at night, and the actor observed that he always had a broad smile on his face

But Keaton was not into staying out all night and whooping it up. 

The star mentioned that he returned to the hotel ahead of time, and as he did so, a thought crossed his mind: “This is enjoyable, yet somehow it feels like it’s not meant for me.”

Keaton is particularly recognized for his starring role in the 1988 movie “Beetlejuice,” a part he initially hesitated to accept when offered by director Tim Burton, as he struggled to grasp the character and found it difficult to comprehend Burton’s unique style of filmmaking

He informed the magazine that he had responded, “I’m not sure what it is, and it might be best for him to seek help elsewhere since I can’t understand it.”

‘Not like, “I don’t get it. I thought it was bad.” I  literally didn’t know what it was.’

Instead, they immediately got along well, and he has once again taken on the character for the sequel of Beetlejuice, titled Beetlejuice again

He added: “Intuition told me that this individual was special, without a doubt. Moreover, I simply admired him as a person. We connected well, and he appeared to be the type of unconventional artist that I appreciate.”
