Samuel L Jackson loves playing golf, so much so he has it written in to his contract that he gets to play 2 days on the green and that the producers pay for it before he will sign on to do the movie according to
OK!
He says, “It’s part of my perk package… Two days off, they have to pay for it. Generally, the way they make that happen is they just move me onto a golf course when they send me to town.
“My assistant generally has the responsibility of finding the new courses, setting up the tee times and giving me the directions.”
Jackson’s golfing deal was tested recently while he was shooting The Sunset Limited in New Mexico.
He explains, “I was just doing a film with Tommy Lee Jones in Santa Fe, so they moved me into a golf community – the two best golf courses in Santa Fe… (and) they closed the golf course three days after I got there.
“I couldn’t go out there and play because it just wasn’t open. I had to find places to play. I’d drive about an hour away and go up to about 6,000 feet… to play.
Out of all the people to be so obsessed with getting a hole in one, I never ever would have dreamed it would be the guy who said “I am sick of those mother f*cking snakes, on this mother f*cking plane.”
