Samuel L. Jackson, the famous actor, is known for his roles in many blockbuster movies. Despite his reputation for using strong language in films, he shared that people often shout a quote without any swear words when they see him in public. As he celebrated his 75th birthday recently, let’s explore his surprising encounters and iconic roles in movies like The Avengers, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Unbreakable.
Samuel L. Jackson’s Unexpected Fan Shoutouts
Known for his iconic roles and famous lines in movies like Pulp Fiction and Snakes on a Plane, Jackson revealed that the quote fans most often shout at him in the street doesn’t come from any of his films. In a roundtable interview with other stars like Oscar Isaac, Tom Hiddleston, Michael Keaton, Brian Cox, and Quincy Isaiah, Jackson shared this surprising insight.
The discussion included what fans typically say when they approach these actors on the street. Brian Cox, differentiating himself from the scientist, humorously mentioned that fans ask him to deliver a line from his Succession character, Logan Roy. Surprisingly, Samuel L. Jackson revealed that the quote fans most frequently shout at him is from a Capital One commercial and says,”What’s in your wallet?”
From Commercials to Fan’s Answering Machines
In his classic style, he humorously responds that his “wife’s hand is in his wallet.” Despite this unexpected favorite, fans still request him to swear at them, and Jackson shared amusing anecdotes about fans asking him to record profanity-laden messages for their answering machines. It seems the iconic actor’s memorable moments extend beyond his blockbuster movie lines to unexpected corners, like credit card commercials.
Having the actor record an answering machine message would indeed be a fantastic idea. On another note, the Hollywood icon seems to defy aging, maintaining a youthful appearance. Reflecting on the changing perceptions of age, Jackson acknowledged the advancements in exercise routines, improved diets, and the availability of excellent skincare products. In his trademark humorous style, he added, “And if all else fails, find a good doctor.” The actor’s perspective on aging reflects the evolving attitudes towards health and well-being in today’s world.
