Samuel Jackson knows the words of the gospel, or at least Ezekiel 25:17. The actor appeared on The Graham Norton Show on Friday night (13th June) and recited his famous speech from Pulp Fiction perfectly.

Norton was joined by Jackson and actress Keira Knightley on the show. Jackson is currently in the UK promoting awareness for male cancer in the charity campaign One For The Boys. The campaign is intended to encourage men to discuss their health and get tested. In an interview with the Telegraph, Jackson explained he became interested in the charity after a friend of his British publicist, Sofia Davis, died of cancer.

He described the differences between men and women when it came to health issues and recounted a discussion he had with Davis. Jackson said "She [Davis] discovered, and I discovered too, that we had all these guy friends who had symptoms they never or barely ever talked about. She asked me if I ever talked to my friends about bumps or lumps, because women discuss that stuff amongst themselves all the time. And I said no, with guys, you just get hurt and you deal with it."
