"I'm Not Laurence Fishburne" - Samuel Jackson Fires

Common’ guys who doesn’t know who Samuel L. Jackson is? Ok, here are some of his films; Total Recall, The Avengers, Captain America, Django, Snakes On The Plane and not Matrix, Matrix Reloaded, Akeelah And The Bee or CSI Miami & New York. That’s Laurence Fishburne for God’s sakes! How could an entertainment TV reported not know the difference?

Probably, a KTLA Channel 5 reporter doesn’t! Sam Rubben interviewed famous Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson on live TV on Monday to find out about his next movie role in the much talked-about Robocob and completely mistook the man for a different black actor – Laurence Fishburne – Awkward!

The news reporter thought Jackson was Morpheus in who also supposedly did the Super Bowl commercial. Jackson reacted with a total shock on his face screaming, "You are as confuused as those on Twitter ... I'm not Laurence Fishburne!" He added, “We don’t look alike!” Then, “We maybe all black and famous but we don’t look alike.” To which the reported admitted, after realizing he’s messed up, “I am guilty”.

Struggling to change the subject, the reporter was caught saying, “Let’s talk about Robocob,” but it was too late. Jackson fired back, ”Hell no! ...That must be a very short line for your job out there;” and went on to differentiate himself from Fishburne by describing something about credit cards etc then, overwhelmingly repeating, “really? ... really? ...seriously?”

That awkward chat went on and on till the white reporter finally shouted, “You’re 100% right” ...and I’m far too dumb! (He forgot to add ...maybe!)

What if Sam Rubben saw Jackson as the old butler in Django (picture left), would he more confused? Meanwhile, Watch the whole thing here!
