Actor Nick Nolte, who has made more than 50 films in his career and even been nominated for an Oscar three times, seems unrecognizable today. At a young age, he was regarded as the s*x symbol of Hollywood, and women around the world adored him.

Decades have passed since then, and the 78-years-old Nolte is no longer what he used to be. On the contrary, Nolte is now seen in a completely different edition – long gray beard, messy hair, and casual dressing transformed famous actor, so today he would rarely be recognized at first look.

Nolte began his career in theater but soon switched to the big screen, which earned him planetary popularity. He is also known for his turbulent private life, marked by struggles with addiction and numerous failed love relationships.

It all started way back in 1965 when he was arrested for faking documents. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison for the crime. While that sounds daunting, the actor managed to get away from serving his sentence as the verdict was eventually overturned.

In 2002, Nolte had another close encounter with law enforcement when he was arrested on suspicion of driving drunk in Malibu. Three days after his arrest, he checked into a counseling clinic where he was supposed to be working on his alcohol problems.

Blood findings showed he was under the influence of a drug commonly used for s*xual assault, but the actor sharply denied that anyone had ever assaulted him.

He wasn’t even at peace with his love life, so he was married four times and has two children. By the way, Nick Nolte has been named the most desirable man in the world several times.
