Example totally fan-girled over Jack Nicholson

Example has just casually revealed Jack Nicholson just casually bought him a whisky one time in Los Angeles.

That’s one wall I’d like to be a fly on.

Yep, absolutely no biggie but this actual movie legend - who’s most famous for saying the mega creepy line ‘Here’s Jonny!’ in ‘The Shining’ - bought the ‘Changed The Way You Kissed Me’ hitmaker a drink, and Example fan-girled just like a normal person would do. He even tried to follow Jack, because he thought they were official friends. They really weren’t.

Example said: “I was in Soho House in LA, and I was sat at the bar waiting for someone and he bought me a whiskey. He was there by himself as well. Bit legendary.

“And then he walked off to go and meet someone somewhere, and I followed him, and he was like, ‘You’re not coming with me. I felt sorry for you.’”

So something I’d do!

Example then went on to insist his new single ‘Whisky Story’ isn’t about Jack buying him a drink and him mistaking it for friendship/something more, despite the title.

The reason he chose not to write a song about Jack Nicholson is because he didn’t think his fans could relate.

Speaking to Alice Levine on BBC Radio 1, Example said: “I wanted to make a song about me and Jack Nicholson, but I didn’t think many people would relate to it. I think it’s quite niche.”

While he’d be correct, I can’t help but think a song solely about Jack would be AMAZING.

Although, maybe he should stick to writing songs about his wife Erin McNaught and their baby son Evander. Just a tad more relatable than meeting Jack Nicholson.
