The 74th birthday of seasoned actor Samuel L. Jackson was not the best. The actor’s followers on Twitter noted that his account “liked” a number of extreme pornographic websites.
Videos by the Twitter user @blackpanda 00, who included explicit clips of men and women engaging in sexual behaviors, were frequently featured on the actor’s liked tweets feed.
It is yet unknown whether the page was hacked or if a third party managing his Twitter account liked the posts. On December 21, the actor celebrated his 74th birthday.
They were taken down after Jackson’s name began to trend as a result of the likes, but not before his fans screen-captured them and posted them online along with remarks about his alleged preference for sexual material.
Others jumped to the ‘Snakes on a Plane‘ veteran’s defense, saying he had every right to enjoy porn. One fan joked that he had an “old freaky a**.”
Among them, “I admire how baller he is. Another of his admirers commented, “Let that man be a horny old man in peace! He’s earned the right to like the tweets he made!”
The 42-year marriage between the actor and his wife LaTanya Richardson has gone without comment. He has previously acknowledged that he enjoys porn.
When asked if he enjoyed anime in a 2017 Internet “Most Asked Questions” interview with Wired magazine, he replied, “True, I do. Hentai as well “— alluding to the pornographic adaptation of Japanese animation. Since the scandal started on Twitter, the actor has not responded.
