Jack Nicholson as lead
You don't cast him
His name even rumoured
Sells a few times its budget in every territory internationally

No one  directs him
You don't micro manage
Pablo Picasso
Give him suggestions on color

You can't hire him
You don't buy a Rolls Royce
And check its mileage
There is no quoted price
He takes what he wants

You don't give him awards
To ratify his talent
Fish don't need the Olympics
To prove their ability in water

You don't teach him class
Mozart need not hear other compositions for inspiration
The cars the wardrobe the partners the shades and the islands
Are for him simply common
His current habits are fashion statements
Doesn't even make them
But people follow them

You don't advice him on films to choose
Rejected The Godfather and the The Sting
To do The Last Detail and The King of Marvin Gardens
Small films till he is attatched
Won best actor at the CANNES
Film festival
Made 5 times its budget
Box office register ringing or awards accumulating
There's only one place this happens
The independent republic of Jack Nicholson

Highest paid actor per film
World's most recognised face
Worlds most identified voice
Sexiest man alive
Most girls in the world wanting to marry
Best dressed man on the planet
Every conquest scaled
Topped every poll
Without even participating
The crowns knows the head
That's worthy of wearing it
Adds value to the crown
Not the king
For he's already ruling the hearts of his fans

Cover of the TIME magazine
Newsweek and Life
Face sells everything
Doesn't make a fuss
Hears from others
Stays balanced forever
