Eric Dane tells of sharing Lara Flynn Boyle with Jack Nicholson

Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan on Grey’s Anatomy, Eric Dane was a little bit incredulous, having to share Lara Flynn Boyle with Jack Nicholson. Both men dated Boyle in the late ’90s. They met (Eric and Lara) years ago while filming episodes of Gideon’s Crossing and The Practice.  Dane, who stars in Marley & Me with Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, tells next month’s Elle:

“Jack Nicholson is Jack Nicholson. The guy’s a colossal personality, and I’m sure he’s charming, and I bet she had a lot of fun with him.  But my take on the whole thing was, I’m 30. He’s 70. This is not going to go down like this. I couldn’t comprehend a 35-year-old woman gravitating toward a 70-year-old man . . . I walked away.”
