Brie Larson was destroyed by Trump’s 2016 election victory, broke down on set, Samuel L. Jackson claims in new interviewThe Marvel actor, 74, began feuding with the Oscar-winning filmmaker, 66, back in 1992 after they had a fight over Jackson’s salary for the epic “Malcolm X.”
Jackson got candid about how his dispute with the “BlacKkKlansman” director came about in a recent chat“I actually read with most of the people who auditioned for ‘Malcolm X.’ But it was still down to that Spike Lee scale-plus-10 salary thing,” Jackson said, referring to“I was like, ‘I’m not going to work for no scale-plus-10,’” he recalled.
“I used to call my agent every day to see if I had any auditions, callbacks, whatever. And my line to her every day was, ‘Hollywood call?’ She was like, ‘No, sir.’ So one day I called, she said, ‘As a matter of fact, yeah, they did. You.’ And I’m, like, ‘What? For what?'” the Washington D.C. native recalled.
That win apparently drew interest from the makers of “White Sands,” who wanted to see him cast as FBI Special Agent Greg Meekeras.But Jackson does give credit where credit is due, attributing his long-lasting success in Tinseltown to “Jungle Fever,” saying his role as a crack-addicted man named Gator “got him into Hollywood.”REUTERS
