At age 65, most of us are gearing up for retirement. We’re investing in some serious cardigan action and telling exaggerated stories about our youth to the grandkids. But most of us aren’t Samuel L. Jackson. This guy doesn’t need to exaggerate. He spent his youth making cinematic history as the only hit man who could demand both terror and respect in one single Pulp Fiction speech (while also making you seriously hanker for a burger). And overnight, he proved he still has it.

As a guest on The Graham Norton Show, the ageing action star who seems to have made a career out the words ‘mother fucker’ delivered the famed excerpt of Ezekiel 25:17, in full. Apparently it’s not just shitty borderline racist news anchors that get scared by Samuel L. these days.
