Meyrick, a former professional Jack Nicholson impersonator and a proud Welshman, was known not only for his striking resemblance to the Hollywood star but also for his warmth, wit, and passion for the arts. He played a formative role in inspiring Michael’s creative journey, and the two shared a close and supportive bond throughout the actor’s career.
Michael has often spoken fondly of his father in interviews, highlighting the important influence Meyrick had on his life both personally and professionally. The loss has deeply touched fans, many of whom have taken to social media to share condolences and memories.
Michael wrote on X.com “On behalf of my family it is with heartbreaking sadness that I mark the passing of my beautiful father Meyrick Sheen today. We were with him throughout. There will never be anyone like him. RIP Meyrick Sheen (1940 – 2025)”
As Wales and the wider acting community offer their support, Michael is taking time to grieve privately with his family. The Sheen family has asked for privacy during this difficult time.
Meyrick Sheen leaves behind a legacy of laughter, love, and lasting impact—not just on his family, but on all who knew him.
