Samuel L. Jackson Says Trump Election Win ‘Broke’ Marvel Co-Star

Actor Samuel L. Jackson opened up about the devastation his Marvel co-star felt after former President 👤Donald Trump’s election win.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Jackson talked about becoming “great friends” with his “Captain Marvel” co-star, Brie Larson, during the filming of the 2017 movie “Kong: Skull Island.” He shared how he encouraged her following Trump’s win in the 2016 election, which he said was “such a hard time” for the pair.

“Then, we bonded through the election while we were doing her movie when 👤Donald Trump won. She was broken, and I was like, ‘Don’t let ‘em break you. You have to be strong now,'” he explained.

Jackson also made bold claims about the 45th president and the Republician Party.

“When I see Trump, I see the same rednecks I saw when I was growing up who called me ‘n—–‘ and tried to keep me in my place. That’s what the Republican Party is to me,” he said of the controversial figure.

The Oscar winner added, “They’re doing it to young people, gay people. They don’t care who you are. If you’re not them, you’re the enemy.”

This was not the first time Jackson expressed his disapproval of Trump.
