Can we have a conversation about the National Treasure that is @SamuelLJackson? Being home, I have the opportunity to revel in his catalog & do research on the man himself. @JLBarrow wrote this amazing year-end review of just what Sam did in 2018/2019 - bet.com/celebrities/ex…
First, he represents DC & we know he is #DCforlife like me. Can we discuss his history of being a true activist who walks the talk he talks (e.g. Morehouse and the Black Panthers).
2nd Let's talk about him as *the* example of transforming yourself. He used his experience as a former drug addict, then played one in #JungleFever & was so damn good that he made the Cannes Film Festival create an ENTIRELY NEW AWARD just to be able to honor him
3rd He's a family man. The genuine love between him and his wife. The ❤️ for his daughter. He is the epitome of the cool uncle you invite to the cookout and all he does is ribs. Nothing else. Cuz Uncle Sam's ribs are like no other. LaTanya got the potato salad though
4th The more than 150 movies. He's such a bad mofo that movie roles are created for him. Regardless of the role, he still works with enthusiasm for making films. He's not working for a check; he's working as a devotion. Not incidentally, he is the highest all-time box office star
Last, so can we please give @SamuelLJackson his roses now? A documentary on his life? A memoir? a 3 part Netflix series? I know getting clips from his movies is a copyright nightmare, but let's do it cuz he is a #NationalTreasure
