He first took up the character’s mantle in the late John Singleton’s 2000 reboot, which was based on the original 1971 film about a suave, badass black detective ( Richard Roundtree) breaking social norms and mocking authority. Jackson is thrilled to be back onscreen as Shaft. “The word still helps me today,” he said. It was spontaneous on how I discovered it-it was the word that hit me, and the word that kind of helped me stop stuttering with the d-d-d’s and b-b-b’s.”Īs an adult, Jackson still stutters sporadically, and continues to shout “motherfucker” or whisper it to stop his broken speech. “I’m not real sure why, but it’s easy for me to pronounce. The word gave me something to focus on and released the pressure, and it really helped me get the rest of the sentence out,” said the 70-year-old Oscar nominee. “I stuttered for a long time, and it actually did help me stop. As a child, Jackson had a debilitating stutter he was bullied so severely that he stopped talking at school for almost a year before he discovered that the word “motherfucker” could serve as an unorthodox speech aid. He makes all dialogue sound so effortless and just right, even with the word ’motherfucker.’ He just does all the work for you.”Īlthough Jackson has become synonymous with swearing in movies, his cursing actually has a greater purpose. You just give him the script, and he’ll take care of all the lines and attitudes.

The good thing about Sam is, you don’t have to tell him how to use that word. “We counted at some point, and got around 40, and it was like, ‘Oh my God, 40 times!’” said Story, laughing. It’s an all-encompassing word, so yelling it out is the way you say it, and it feels good.” Sometimes there’s no better word than ’motherfucker’ to describe someone or a situation.
I don’t have to think about how to say it. For me, it’s really just another word it’s another piece of dialogue, and it’s something that I know that I can work with. When I read a script and it’s on the page, I don’t think about it.
It is what it is, and I don’t mind if I’m linked with that word,” he said at the Shaft premiere in New York on Monday night. Jackson is so closely associated with the term “motherfucker!” that it has become his onscreen trademark-one the actor himself revels in.
After a string of PG-13 and family-friendly pictures-including Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel, Glass, Incredibles 2, and Brie Larson’s Netflix comedy Unicorn Store-the prolific actor is going back to saltier fare, unabashedly dropping f-bombs while reprising the role of badass private detective John Shaft in his latest film, Shaft. Jackson took two years off from shouting his favorite epithet on the big screen-but the drought ends now.
