Samuel L Jackson Stopped Cursing For His Daughter

Samuel L. Jackson had a rude awakening from his then toddler daughter that caused the star to rethink his habit of cursing in front of her. The star says that he initially spoke to his daughter Zoe, now 25, "like he talked to his friends" until she started to repeat the expetives back to him. The breaking point was when he overheard her telling friends "f*#$ you" when she was only three years old.

Jackson tells British film magazine Little White Lies, "I never edited my speech with my daughter, and I talked to her liked I talked to my friends but she could not answer me back the same way.

"I recall hearing when she was three talking to her friends and saying 'f*#$ you'. She understood the context of different words. We took her to a wedding once and was asking her about some food and she replied, 'What is that s*&$?'"
