Slater: Nicholson's just like Cuckoo character

Christian Slater used Jack Nicholson as inspiration for his role in a new stage version of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest - because the acting legend has lived his life like Randle Patrick McMurphy.

Nicholson played mental patient McMurphy in the 1975 movie - and Slater insists the 67-year-old has much in common with one of his most famous characters.
