Samuel L. Jackson is an iconic actor, who has been synonymous with being a charismatic on-screen persona, and captivating audiences worldwide. While the actor has immense acting range, fans love him for his outstanding use of colorful language both on and offscreen. Jackson’s delivery of profane language is outstanding, which is often neatly integrated with intense emotions. From anger to sheer disappointment, his emotional intensity deeply resonates with his viewers.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the Pulp Fiction actor is not the biggest on-screen cursor that the entertainment industry has witnessed. Surprisingly, research was conducted to find out the biggest users of obscene language, and to everyone’s surprise, Jackson was beaten in his own game by none other than Jonah Hill and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Samuel L. Jackson is Annoyed at Jonah Hill and Leonardo DiCaprio For Dropping More F-Bombs
Whenever we think of an actor, who can use an insane amount of curses, Samuel L. Jackson is the name that instantly pops up in our mind. The man does not hold back when it comes to dropping f-bombs, especially when the scene demands. One of his most notable scenes is from Quentin Tarntino’s 1994 masterpiece, Pulp Fiction.
The film featured many notable dialogues, delivered mostly by Jackson’s Jules Winnfield, where he unleashes his fury on his latest hit by asking him, “English, Motherf***er, Do You Speak It?” His other iconic line is from the 2006 thriller, Snakes on a Plane, where he sums up everyone’s thoughts by yelling, “I’ve had it with these motherf**kin’ snakes, on this motherf**kin’ plane.”
Despite so many iconic moments full of obscene use of language, the actor is not the biggest curser in Hollywood. A survey conducted by Buzz Bingo in 2020, reported that it is not the One Eight Seven actor who has used the most curses in his films. The survey reported that it was The Wolf of Wall Street co-stars, Jonah Hill and Leonardo Di Caprio, who secured the 1st and spots, where Hill used 376 swear words throughout his film, and DiCaprio used 361 curses in his film.
The difference between them and Jackson was huge as he has used only 301 curse words. The survey is reliable as it went through over 3,500 film scripts, and a major use of swears was split between Superbad and The Wolf of Wall Street. Clearly, The Avengers actor was not too delighted with Hill and his Django Unchained co-star beating him in his own game, as he showed his frustration on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Jackson said,
“That’s some bulls**t. I mean, no. No. No way, man. No way, man, come on. Jonah Hill, really? I don’t believe that. Someone has miscounted.”
This is extremely hilarious and awkward. However, Jackson asked Fallon, “Is it for all curse words or just one specific curse word?” However, he was immensely confident that if the record was for saying his trademark “motherf**ker” then he would be the undisputed champ.
Samuel L. Jackson Silences People For Calling Quentin Tarantino Racist
Samuel L. Jackson has a deep respect and admiration for Quentin Tarantino and his projects. The two are great friends in real life, where he has included Jackson in four of his films, be it a leading or a supporting character. Tarantino has always given the actor some of his best roles, however, some haters have criticized the filmmaker for an illogical reason.
The filmmaker would always push the limits of entertainment with the use of profanity and violence. As a result, some people do not admire him for using the slang ‘n***er’ in some of his films, calling him racist. However, Jackson did not tolerate the unnecessary criticism of the director during an interview via YouTube, he said,
“He (Quentin) has enough problem being vilified himself as a racist because he uses n***er in his scripts that much, or puts those kinds of words in a character’s mouth. I always tell people… I can’t understand why they can’t look at his work and realize that every character he’s given me has pretty much been the smartest character in the film.”
“(They) have the most dignity and respect and kinda runs things… Not a fool of any sort and understands a whole lot of what’s going on in life and in the world. For (Quentin) to write characters like that for me would be impossible for a racist to do.”
Jackson and Tarantino are an outstanding duo as the actor’s breakout role in the 1994 film, Pulp Fiction catapulted him into stardom. The duo later worked on three other films Jackie Brown, Django Unchained, and The Hateful Eight. The collaboration brought them immense success as film connoisseurs enjoy watching them work together.
Pulp Fiction can be streamed on Max.
