JACK NICHOLSON - NICHOLSON REJECTED BY FRIEL

Hollywood lothario JACK NICHOLSON was left red-faced after trying to woo British actress ANNA FRIEL - the fiesty redhead told him he was old enough to be her grandfather.

Nicholson, 68, first saw the beauty starring in Broadway musical CLOSER, and was determined to seduce the 29-year-old star.

But Friel, who lives with actor DAVID THEWLIS and stars in blockbuster football movie GOAL!, refused to be charmed.

She says, "He was really flirtatious and I went, 'Give over! How many women have you said that to? You're old enough to be my grandad.'"
