In a recent episode of David Letterman‘s talk show, the legendary Samuel L. Jackson made a memorable appearance that had audiences laughing and reminiscing about one of his most iconic roles, Jules Winnfield in “Pulp Fiction”. The conversation between Jackson and Letterman was lively and entertaining, showcasing the chemistry between the two.
The talk began with Letterman commenting on the striking contrast between Jackson’s current appearance and his look in “Pulp Fiction”. Jackson confirmed that he wore a wig in the film and even revealed that he has a box full of wigs at home. He humorously mentioned that one particular wig, which had brains and blood on it, would harden overnight and required some maintenance before he could wear it.
Jackson then shared his thoughts on the violence in “Pulp Fiction”, acknowledging that it is a defining aspect of the film. He described it as cartoonish and compared it to the thrill one experiences in an amusement park. When asked if it was fun to make the film, Jackson enthusiastically replied that every day on set was enjoyable. He shared a funny anecdote about a scene in which John Travolta‘s character shoots a young boy in the back seat of a car. Due to a miscommunication, the scene took a hilarious turn, much to the amusement of the cast and crew.
Moving on, Letterman pointed out that Jules Winnfield is portrayed as the brains of the operation, in contrast to Travolta’s character who is portrayed as a dumb guy. Jackson explained that it was his job to keep Travolta’s character focused and bring him back when he would get lost. He also praised the script and the series of speeches he delivers towards the end of the movie, calling it a great piece of work.
The conversation took a lighthearted turn as Jackson and Letterman discussed a scene from the film where Jackson’s character talks about the differences between Europe and the United States. The duo jokingly impersonated the conversation, with Jackson hilariously imitating his character’s famous line, “You know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in Paris?”
The interview concluded with Jackson expressing his excitement for an upcoming award show where Letterman will be the host. Jackson humorously suggested that Letterman could read any name he wants when announcing the winners and even handed him a list to save time. The conversation ended on a positive note, with both Jackson and Letterman expressing their admiration for Jennifer Jason Lee and Jason Lee.
Samuel L. Jackson‘s appearance on David Letterman‘s talk show was full of laughter, witty banter, and interesting insights into the making of “Pulp Fiction”. With his charismatic presence and incredible talent, Jackson proved once again why he is regarded as one of the greatest actors of our time.
