Actor Samuel L. Jackson made a promise to American voters that, if at least 2,500 of them confirmed that they were registered to vote in November, he would teach them some multilingual ways to swear. Today, he kept that promise.On Sept. 14, Jackson posted a link to his official Headcount page on Twitter, urging viewers to check their voting registration status. "Nov. 3rd Will be here before you know it! Go to Headcount.org to check your voter registration status or register to vote! Go now and you may get a very special 'tutorial' from me! Every vote Counts!," he wrote passionately above the link.
Later that day, Jackson followed up his tweet with another message and a brief video promising special incentive for those who ensure their democratic right to vote is confirmed. "Listen up, if 2500 of you head to my headcount link to make sure you're #goodtovote, I will teach you to swear in 15 different languages," he propositioned to his Twitter audience.
Today, Jackson held up on his end of the bargain, posting a video on how to say "motherfucker" in a variety of languages, including Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Swahili, Czech and Catalan, just to name a few.
Jackson is well known for his frequent swearing, on and off camera. Since his breakout role in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, the actor has delivered many a compelling monologue riddled with foul-mouthed rhetoric, specifically involving his trademark articulation of the word "motherfucker." Alongside multiple R-rated speeches in other Tarantino films like Jackie Brown, Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight, some of Jackson's most memorable cinematic swearing moments include Snakes on a Plane, Shaft, True Romance, Die Hard with a Vengeance and The Hitman's Bodyguard.
One of Jackson's next movie roles will be in The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, a sequel to The Hitman's Bodyguard that will see him reunite with co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Salma Hayek. The film is set to come out on Aug. 20, 2021.
