After 50 well-documented years in front of the cameras, it seems that Samuel L.
Jackson just doesn't age.
Even at the age of 74, whose birthday he celebrated yesterday (Wednesday), the Hollywood star looks younger and more reserved than ever, and not even close to his real age.
So how does Mr. Jackson keep the fresh look?
• Samuel L.
Jackson will receive an Oscar
Simple: the star of "Cheap Literature" and "The Avengers" reveals that it is the old and familiar method: a winning combination of health care and an uncompromising training routine.
"Times have changed. Today there are better training methods, more successful diets and also excellent skin care products. And if all these do not work for you - you can always find a good doctor," explained Jackson in an interview.

He also said: "In my childhood, I asked my grandfather's brothers how old they were and I thought to myself, 'God, they are so old.' Today, when someone passes away, I think to myself that he was so young."
Indeed, the point of view changes over the years.
A blockbuster career
And here are three more things you may not have known about the Eternal Star: First of all, the "L."
His middle name represents the name "Leroy";
He holds the citizenship of the African country Gabon - as he has roots there;
And pay attention to this: all the films in which he has appeared to date have grossed more than 27 billion dollars at the box office worldwide.
This impressive statistic makes Jackson
the third highest-grossing film actor of all time
, mainly thanks to his many appearances, even in small and secondary roles, in Marvel films, in the episodes of the second trilogy of "Star Wars", in the pair of "Super Family" films, in "Park The first "shooter", in "Dead to Live 3", in several collaborations with Quentin Tarantino and dozens of other blockbusters.

And if you thought that the guy was going to rest on his laurels in his advanced age, then you should think again.
Jackson does not stop for a moment and has signed quite a few future productions, including two other projects from Marvel (the series "Secret Invasion" which will be broadcast next year on Disney Plus, and "The Marvelous" - the sequel to "Captain Marvel" which will hit the cinema in the summer of 2023);
about a new computer-animated film starring Bulls the Lasagna Garfield;
And there is also talk of a live action version of the hit manga "Afro Samurai".
We would have wished him up to 120, but in the case of Samuel L.
Jackson, "up to 240" seems to be the more appropriate greeting.
