Prison Talk Gets German Interviewer Ejected From Jackson Chat
By WENNFriday, May 7, 2010
SAMUEL L. JACKSON’s publicist threw a German journalist out of an interview with the star when talk turned to the relatives he has behind bars.
The Pulp Fiction star admits he was bemused by the European reporter’s questions when he agreed to do press in Germany en route to the recent International Thriller Film Awards in France.
He recalls, “You go to Germany and they ask you, ‘Samuel, how many of your relatives are in prison?’ and, ‘When you and Morgan (Freeman) and Denzel (Washington) get together to talk about racism in Hollywood, how do you feel?’ We don’t have big black meetings!
“My publicist actually kicked that lady out of the room for asking how many of my relatives are in prison… (There’s) only two.”
