Samuel L. Jackson says he doesn’t care if his Trump stance costs him fans

Samuel L Jackson

A hard stance from Big Sam (not that one).

Legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson has made it clear that he really doesn’t care if supporters of President Trump no longer see his movies.

In a recent interview with Esquire, Jackson tore into Trump in classic Samuel L. fashion.

He said: “This motherfucker is like ruining the planet and all kinds of other crazy shit.

“And the people think that’s OK. It’s not f–king OK. And if you’re not saying anything, then you’re complicit.”

And when he was asked whether he was worried his strong political opinions would cause certain fans to stop seeing his movies, he said: “I know how many motherfuckers hate me. ‘I’m never going to see a Sam Jackson movie again.’ Fuck I care? If you never went to another movie I did in my life, I’m not going to lose any money. I already cashed that cheque.

“Fuck you. Burn up my videotapes. I don’t give a fuck.”

Wow. Tell us how you really feel, Sam.

This isn’t the first time that Jackson has made his political views clear either.

Not too long ago, he stood by American politician Rashida Tlaib when she described Trump as a “motherfucker”, and said that he was going to be impeached.
