Jackson orders snakes restraining order
Indo-Asian News Service
New York, July 26 (IANS) Actor Samuel L. Jackson had a clause in
his contract for high-flying thriller "Snakes On A Plane" which
insisted all reptiles on the set were kept at least 20 feet (6
metres) from him at all times.
According to contactmusic.com, Jackson, who plays a federal
agent on board a plane full of slithering venomous reptiles,
made sure he was safe throughout filming.
He says: "My agent was insistent: 'No snakes within 20 feet.' In
the beginning they were talking about having rattlesnakes they
had taken the venom sacks out of them but I was like, 'Hell no.
That don't work for me.'
"I don't have a fear of snakes...
When I grew up in the country, when we saw a snake the snake was
in a lot more trouble then we were. We'd chase it and try to
catch it, so we could beat it. I've handled them, I had snakes
draped all over me for the photo shoot."
