Not happy: Samuel L. Jackson

Having played a gangster, a Jedi and a slave, Samuel L. Jackson’s has had an incredibly varied career - but the actor would rather not portray a gay man.

When asked what was the one thing he wouldn’t do in a movie - even for his frequent collaborator Quentin Tarantino - Jackson said: “Probably dress up as a woman and kiss another guy. I don't think people want to see me do that.”

Even, so, the ‘Pulp Fiction’ star added he “might” consider playing a queer character so long as “the story is good”.

Jackson said: “He hasn't asked me, but you know what? If it's done right and the story is good. I might.”
