When asked if directors ever ask him to “do one for fun,” Jackson said he’s been asked before, but hasn’t always obliged.
“That’s crazy because I don’t get to go to the editing room, and if they want to try something different, that means they’re going to look at that first because that’s who they are,” Jackson explained. “I don’t know, they don’t get that option.”
“They did that because they loved me — I didn’t ask for it,” Jackson revealed, ending with a smile.
“When the shoot was over, when they presented it to me, [and] it had ‘BMF’ on the on-off button,” the actor explained. When Fallon asked what the three letters stood for, Jackson quipped, “Bad, my friend.”
Fallon then showed a photo of the engraved lightsaber, adding “Now that’s what I’m talking about! That’s love for Samuel L. Jackson right there!”
“It was!” Jackson happily replied.
