Samuel L. Jackson – good clothes fan

Frankly speaking I was amazed to know that Samuel L. Jackson loves fashion so much and insists on keeping his film costumes. I can’t even imagine how big his wardrobe is considering the number of roles he played in films.

The actor explained:

Sometimes, if I’m playing a well-off character, I’ll take home his wardrobe. I have a clause in my contract that I can keep the clothes I fancy. I like having input into my character’s costume, to try and project the character’s world through his clothes.’

The explanation to such a passion is easy enough. He started developing his own style when he was 18, pretty old I would say. But this was due to the fact his mother wanted to keep control over the garments her son wore.

The 60-year-old star admits some of the more conventional pieces his mom preferred for him made him look like a ’straitlaced geek’. This was far from what he really wished and thus, when he got more personal freedom he began experimenting with edgier items.

Now the actor feels it’s almost time to look a bit older than he tried to look earlier. This is what he said relating this:

In 10 years I’ll have eliminated ripped jeans from my wardrobe, along with the bling shirts. I’ll change my look with age. At 70 I should at least try and look like an adult.

I see how not to age – I live in Hollywood, where 65-year-old men dress the way they think their 20-year-old girlfriends want.’
