The headline is kinda mean (but fair).

One thing I like about Jackson is that he very candid and self aware.

I remember years ago in an interview on the Colbert Report, Colbert asked him what his level of success is like, and he laughed said something like 'Well... I'm supposed to say it's no big deal... But it's a pretty fuckin big deal!'

I don't recall his exact words, but it didn't feel boastful, more like this recognition that his wealth and fame afford him incredible privilege and he greatly enjoys that. I admire the candor.

I saw an interview recently (I think with a writer) who talked about how nice it was to have a (yearly) sitcom. Having a reliable job has its perks. Willis could always go back to John McClain. Jackson could always be "mothetfucker guy" , now he's Nick Fury.

Plus for Jackson he is just playing the comic book character already drawn to be him.
