Jack Nicholson's estranged daughter Tessa Gourin talked about her relationship with the actor

Tessa Gourin has persisted in speaking out about her upbringing and what she claims it was like to be Jack Nicholson's estranged daughter. The 28-year-old actress, who is located in New York, recently discussed her experiences with The Daily Beast. She revealed that ever since she was a young child, her mother, Jennine Gourin, had warned her "not to tell anyone that I have this famous dad." "I knew he was powerful and Daddy Warbucks-level rich, so I kind of equated my life to being like Orphan Annie's," she said. Furthermore, Gourin claimed that Nicholson "wasn't interested" in having a relationship with her when she was a little girl, despite the fact that the magazine called her the "spitting image" of him. And although she declined to provide more data, she did mention that Gourin paid for her early education. "When you're a child, you don't have a choice where you're going, so if your mom is pushing you on someone who's technically your father and he agrees to see you for anywhere between one hour and a couple of days, that's where you're going to go," Gourin explained. "I don't know this person very well, we'll just say that."

Tessa Gourin also revealed to The Daily Beast that she had always desired to be an actress, having requested to be videotaped as a young child and performed at sleepovers. The woman stated, "My mom wouldn't let me act when I was younger, and I can respect that, but I'm like, 'F---, I would have killed it.'" Moreover, Gourin noted in another article last month that she has "sat on the sidelines and watched in frustration as other celebrity children have seamlessly secured roles or been signed to huge agencies." In addition, in her interview with The Daily Beast, she provided some additional commentary on the "nepo baby" debate and other actresses who denied receiving a benefit from nepotism. Additionally, while having always admired acting, Gourin admitted that she quit working as a performer in her mid-20s out of concern that she would be blacklisted because of her relationship with Nicholson. She also stated that she respects Nicholson as an actor.  [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Image credit: The Celeb Post[/caption] Lastly, Jennifer Nicholson, age 59, is one of Nicholson's five additional children from his marriage to Sandra Knight.
