Tessa Gourin – Says She Doesn’t Know Her Father Because He’s Not “Interested”
In a recent interview, the actress continued to speak up about her lack of relationship with her father and how that affected her childhood days and her perception of herself.
“From a very young age, my mother told me not to tell anyone that I have this famous dad,” Gourin told The Daily Beast in a recent interview about her childhood experiences. “I knew he was powerful and Daddy Warbucks-level rich, so I kind of equated my life to being like Orphan Annie’s.”
Even though she was described as the “splitting image” of Nicholson, the New York-based actress claimed that she did not know him because he wasn’t interested in knowing her.

While Gourin refused to go into specifics of the issue, she did admit that he 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 said. “I don’t know this person very well, we’ll just say that.”
Nicholson, who has five other children, is yet to publicly acknowledge whether Gourin is or isn’t his child. His reps are yet to respond to the claims.

Gourin also delved deep into her passion for acting, recalling how she would ask to be recorded acting during sleepovers. The one problem was that her mom wasn’t sold on the idea of allowing her to act during a younger age, and while she respects that, she still wishes it wasn’t so.
“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,’ “ she said.
Nicholson’s five other children are Jennifer Nicholson, 59, from his marriage to Sandra Knight; Caleb Goddard, 52, with Five Easy Pieces costar Susan Anspach; Honey Hollman, 41, with model Winnie Hollman; and daughter Lorraine, 32, and son Ray, 30, with actress Rebecca Broussard.
