An essay competition on Reddit.com, the winning assay would be read by SLJ. When it came time.....this is what SLJ said...............
"Hi, I'm Samuel L. Jackson. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Reddit, but I've decided to break the rules of my own competition, and I will not be reading a user-submitted entry as my monologue. Instead, I'd like to speak to you all from my own heart, in my own words, honestly and openly. I've been waiting to reveal something for a long, long, time and ... well, here it is: I am quitting acting and pursuing a life of vigilantism. Now, I know what you're thinking: 'Sam Jack, you are one bad motherf---er when it comes to the fine art of thespianism.' And you know what? You're right. But it's time for me to step out of the limelight ... and step into the shadows."
That caused major consternation and wallet shrinking fear in Hollywood.........and to the best of my knowledge SLJ has yet to mention that every word of his statement was, in fact, in the winning essay!
Wrap your head around that!
