VIDEO : Samuel L. Jackson Recalls His Bizarre First Encounter With Marlon Brando

Two days before 9/11 Samuel L. Jackson was in New York waiting backstage at a Michael Jackson show. The actor was asked to introduce Usher and Whitney Houston at the event, but while waiting to go on he was approached by Marlon Brando. Jackson said, " We end up having this conversation." The two finished talking and then exchanged phone numbers: "He says, 'Call me, we need to talk.'" Shortly after the interaction Jackson called the number Brando gave him, but Brando didn't pick up the phone. Jackson reveals, laughing, "It's a Chinese restaurant." Jackson asked if Mr. Brando was there and the person on the other line said, "Hold on, hold on." Brando came to the phone and Jackson says they talked for an hour.
