It all started as a hallway joke. 😅
A man, camera in hand, asked a woman in a store if she was Samuel L. Jackson’s sister, but she didn’t laugh. Despite the undeniable resemblance, Samuel L. Jackson is an only child and has said on several occasions that he is an only child; but the persistence was such that the woman was forced to take out her phone right there and call the police for help while the rest of the customers watched the scene, unsure whether to laugh or hide behind the bags of potato chips.
The video, recorded by the person who asked the question, went viral within hours under the title “This lady called the cops because I asked if she was Samuel L. Jackson’s sister”. Minutes later, police cars arrived, although no one ended up being arrested: the prank was resolved with an awkward conversation and a lot of secondhand embarrassment.
The debate on social media got heated: some say she overreacted, while others say comparing her to the actor was in poor taste. The only thing for sure is that no one in that store will ever make jokes about famous lookalikes again. 🎬📱
