Samuel L. Jackson and Kendrick Lamar shared screen space for a photograph together, and since the Super Bowl, the duo has been in the center of funny reactions and fan admiration.

Samuel L. Jackson surprised viewers as the first face to light up the Super Bowl 2025 halftime show, introducing himself as "your Uncle Sam" and issuing commands to the rebellious rapper.

Uncle Sam — aka Samuel L. Jackson — nearly stole the Super Bowl halftime show. The “Pulp Fiction” actor was Kendrick Lamar’s special guest during the Super Bowl halftime show. Dressed in patriotic red, white and blue, Jackson introduced the show, exclaiming “this is the great American game.”
