An ailing and disheveled NICK NOLTE looked “Down and Out in Beverly Hills” after a recent health crisis.
Sporting long gray hair, the 73-year-old actor needed a nurse’s aid outside a doctor’s office in Beverly Hills.
“He actually got sick last week. It was the flu or a cold,” Nolte’s ex-wife Rebecca Linger exclusively told The ENQUIRER. “He was dehydrated, needed to get fluids, and rest. He probably needed antibiotics.”
Even though Rebecca divorced Nick in 1994, she’s the one taking care of him after a source told The ENQUIRER his relationship with long-time girlfriend Clytie Lane, 46, has crumbled.
“Even though I don’t want to be married to Nick, I still love him and want to take care of him,” said Linger, who has a son Brawley, 28, with the “48 Hrs.” star. Rebecca said a bout of pneumonia a couple years ago left the family worried it had recurred.
