**Jack Nicholson & Meryl Streep: Unveiling Their Covert Romance!

**

Meryl Streep and the rebellious Jack Nicholson engaged in a passionate affair behind the scenes almost three decades ago — and to this day, she remains enamored by him!

Their entanglement sparked amidst the filming of the 1987 movie Ironweed, leading to widespread speculation about a clandestine relationship between Jack and his co-star, the renowned Meryl Streep, who once vowed never to collaborate with him again.

Contrary to his previous denial of any involvement in her life during Heartburn in 1986, where he dismissed rumors about their strained association as “extremely unkind,” their fiery passion during their second film together was undeniable, as per biographer Marc Elliot.

Despite Nicholson being in a committed relationship with Anjelica Huston and Streep happily married to sculptor Don Gummer, they found it impossible to resist each other's allure!

According to Elliot's account in Nicholson: A Biography, the stars' trailer rendezvous were so intense that the very foundation of Nicholson's Winnebago seemed to shake like overworked Slinkys throughout the shooting.

Despite the persistent rumors of a romance, both parties vehemently refuted any claims of an affair at the time.

Fast forward to the present day, and the sparks between Nicholson, now 79, and Streep, 67, still burn brightly!

During the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony honoring Streep in 2004, Nicholson affectionately praised his former flame as “flawless” and professed his enduring love for her.

More recently, Streep jokingly revealed that if she were compelled to make a choice between Jack Nicholson, Robert Redford, and Dustin Hoffman, Nicholson would be her top pick for a romantic dalliance.

In a heartfelt conversation with the late Morley Safer, Streep described Nicholson as “generous” and expressed her delight in working with him, emphasizing the sheer joy and pleasure she derives from his company.
