Samuel L. Jackson Won’t Do A Full-Frontal Nude Scene For A Hilarious Reason

As a long-time fan of Samuel L. Jackson, I must say his candidness and humor always add another layer to my admiration for him. His approach to nudity and love scenes is as unique as his acting style. It’s refreshing to see an actor who values his reputation, his character’s aura, and his privacy so much. He’s not just a talented actor but also a man who knows what he wants and doesn’t shy away from sharing it with the world.


Some actors refrain from nudity due to their personal moral convictions, others because of practical concerns on set. And then there are those, like Samuel L. Jackson, who have an image to maintain and feel that full frontal scenes might not align with it. This is a jest he made during his appearance on Howard Stern’s Sirius XM radio show in 2016 when asked if he would ever consider nudity for a movie role, to which the Marvel Cinematic Universe star replied that he wasn’t interested.

In his conversation with Stern, Jackson acknowledged that he has previously appeared nude in two scenes, but neither instance included a full frontal view. When asked if he felt his penis was not sufficiently impressive for the camera, Jackson joked that perhaps he might request a stand-in. “I wonder,” he said, “if my penis is powerful enough to match my on-screen presence.”

Despite his extensive experience on the big screen and the prestige that comes with being a veteran actor, Jackson is seldom chosen to play romantic leads. Interestingly, throughout his career, he’s been involved in relatively few kissing scenes. Intriguingly, when asked about this, he shared that he avoids such scenes for a unique reason.

Samuel L. Jackson has one more reason to avoid love scenes

Samuel L. Jackson is famous for portraying suave, quick-witted characters who aren’t shy about using strong language when dealing with firepower. However, over the course of hundreds of films he’s been in, he hasn’t often played a romantic lead. As per his own account, by 2017, he hadn’t shared many on-screen kisses, such as the one he had with Salma Hayek, who played his partner in the action-packed movie “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard.”

In a recent interview with Irish News, during which he and Salma Hayek were promoting their new movie, he mentioned that they had discussed this topic earlier in the day. Specifically, he reminded her that she is among only a handful of women (approximately five) he has ever kissed on-screen. He added that these experiences feel novel for him since they don’t occur frequently, making each encounter somewhat of an exciting exploration.

However, the actor openly shares that he steers clear of love scenes due to their discomfort: they are awkward. He explained this to Howard Stern, stating, “You inquire beforehand, ‘Where can I touch you? Where should I not touch you?’ Then you apologize for both situations. ‘I’m sorry if I get too excited,’ and, ‘I’m sorry if I don’t.’ Sometimes, it simply doesn’t work out,” he added. Fortunately, on-screen kisses demand less coordination.
