Wait, Does Everyone Know Who Duke Nicholson Is Except Me?

From Cosmopolitan

Please be advised that Bella Hadid has a new boyfriend named Duke Nicholson, and if you, like moi, have literally no idea who he is, fear not:

Before we get into what can only be described as a very thirsty deep dive into all things Duke, here's a refresher on him and Bella. Page Six reports that they've been seeing each other since "at least late last month" when they met up in New York City—and on top of *that,* they went on a super secret vacation for Bella's birthday. In other words, they appear to be an all-caps THING, so the time has come to join hands and answer the question on everyone's minds: whomst?

He's Jack Nicholson's Grandson

I mean...can't you see the resemblance? Here's Duke looking like a long lost member of Green Day:

And here's Jack as a #youth:

WEIRD HOW GENETICS WORK.

Actually His Entire Family Is Pretty Notable

As The Hollywood Reporter explains, Duke's grandmother is actress Sandra Knight, who was married to Jack Nicholson from 1962 to 1968. Meanwhile, his mom is fashion designer Jennifer Nicholson and his dad is surfer Mark Norfleet—and get this, these two went to (and met at!) the same school in Hawaii as Barack Obama. 😍

He Was in Us

Duke made his acting debut in the Jordan Peele horror film, and showed up to the premiere looking incredibly emo:

Apparently Duke's grandma helped tape his audition, which happened to be a scene from Halloween. He didn't think he'd gotten the part, but, as he told THR, "Two months later I got an email, 'You got the role. Don't cut your hair.' "

He's Close Friends with Lana Del Rey

Like, to the point where he was on the cover of Norman F*cking Rockwell, it's casual:

Duke says Lana asked him to be on the album completely randomly, explaining "Lana is a friend of mine and she called me and said, 'Hey, we're doing the album cover tomorrow. You want to be on it?'"

Weird how none of my famous friends have asked me to be their album cover muse, but okay.

He Originally Wanted to Be a Director

In his first-ever interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Duke said that he initially hoped to be a director after becoming a total film nerd, and even made a short movie "about a fisherman who gets his dick bit by a fish."

No further comment necessary.

He's a Model, Much! Like! Bella!

And by that I mean he did this shoot for Louis Vuitton, which totally counts:

He's Close to Luka Sabbat

Duke doesn't have a public Instagram, but if you search his name on the 'gram it's pretty easy to figure out that he has famous friends—including Luka Sabbat, who also knows Bella Hadid. It's all coming together!

Just FYI that neither Bella nor Duke have confirmed their alleged relationship, so, ya know, grain of salt 'til further notice, etc.
