Samuel L Jackson insists that his character would say ‘motherf****r’

Acting legend Samuel L Jackson has clashed with the director of his new movie after insisting his character would use the word ‘motherf****r.’

The confrontation occurred during a script read-through in which Jackson’s character didn’t say ‘motherf****r’ once.

“We got through the script and, you know, it was a good script, it worked. A priest helps save an orphanage by putting on a musical show,” explained a co-star.

“But, about midway through the second reading, Sam just went ‘hold up, I think I need to call this dude a motherf****r right here.’

“Everyone just went quiet. Sam seemed pretty angry, you know? An angry Samuel L Jackson? There was just this immediate tension.

“The director tried to explain – ‘Sam,’ he said, ‘you’re playing the priest,’ but Sam wouldn’t have it – ‘oh, and priests don’t say motherf****r? If I was a priest, I’d say motherf****r. I’d say mother****r all the damn time.’”

The director did his best to calm the situation saying that he agreed that priests may swear, but they probably wouldn’t call the Bishop who is supporting the musical show that will save the orphanage a mother****r.

“He did his best, he really did. But Sam was angry. Real angry.”

Jackson and the director went into a private room together for a character discussion.

“You couldn’t hear exactly what was said, but Sam kept saying ‘motherf****r’ and the director kept saying ‘but it’s for children.’”

Ultimately the cast was sent home.

It is understood that dispute was settled and The Happy Orphanage, Motherf****r will be released next year.
