Tucker Would Turn Down Jackie Brown Now....

African-American star Chris Tucker regrets uttering the word 'n**ger' so many times in Quentin Tarantino's 1997 movie Jackie Brown, and insists he would turn the part down now.The 34-year-old actor shares a profanity-filled scene with Samuel L. Jackson in the film, which on its release attracted strong criticism from black filmmaker Spike Lee for its racist language.Tucker tells Playboy magazine, "Back then I wasn't even thinking that much about how words like that affect people. But I do now.

"I wouldn't do it (make Jackie Brown now). I don't know how old I was then, but I'm a different person now. Hopefully, we evolve as we get older.Hopefully, we better ourselves."No, I wouldn't do that dialogue now".
