Dress like Jack Nicholson

It was Jack Nicholson's birthday this week I couldn't resist taking a nostalgic look back through his wardrobe in films. It may sound like a tenuous link, and people may argue that it was also celebrity chef Gary Rhodes's birthday this week, why not do a blog on him? It's a good point, it's a good point well made.

'You don't get two dimes Martinez, you get sh*t'.

On second thoughts, to hell with Gary Rhodes. He didn't top the Rolling Stones top actors list 3 times in a row from the years of 1977-1980 did he? No Jack Nicholson did. A simple outfit here taken from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. A green t-shirt underneath a blue denim shirt. Have a fag hanging out the corner of your mouth and your hair spiked back in no particular fashion. You wouldn't be able to pull this off dressing like Gary Rhodes. If you get caught smoking in the kitchen you'll get chucked out like a drinking fountain in a mental institute.

'I want you to hold it between your knees'.

This is probably the most underrated Nicholson movie Five Easy Pieces. Here Jack is rocking what is known as a Raglan sweater. Popular with Baseball players. If you saw Gary Rhodes swooning about in something as cool as that you'd immediately think how much better it would look on Jack Nicholson. 

'Incase you're wondering I won't be letting you infect me with the plague either'.

'Jack won an oscar for his part in As Good As It Gets. This blazer is a beaut and stopped Helen Hunt in her tracks.  For the record Gary Rhodes has never won or even been nominated for an oscar. Is he even on TV anymore? 

'NIK NIK NIK...Ahhhhh...Indians'.

This is probably as close as Gary Rhodes will get to looking as good as Jack Nicholson. Here in Easy Rider he rocks his white lawyer suit. Not too far off the Gary Rhodes Chef Whites. Well actually, it's probably quite far removed from the Gary Rhodes wardrobe, but I feel like I have torn into our Gary quite unnecessarily in this feature. He hasn't really done anything wrong.

'What's your beef?'

Here you go Gary. No hard feelings.
