He's had it with these mother******* lists, about these mother*******movies!

When it comes to actors and bad mouths, there really is only one name that comes to mind. Samuel L. Jackson. 

But it seems two other names should come to mind before him!

Chatting to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy discloses to Samuel that in fact there are two other actors who have sworn more times in a single movie than him.

On the list, Jonah Hill and Leonardo Dicaprio are both ahead of Jackson with 376 and 361 swear words each after their roles in the Martin Scorsese film, Wolf of Wall Street. 

Jackson fell to third place for his performance in Quentin Tarantino's 'Jackie Brown'. In that film, he swore a total of 301 times.

Check out the entire list below, or you can watch the interview with Samuel L. Jackson above. 

  1. Jonah Hill - 376
  2. Leo Dicaprio - 361
  3. Samuel L. Jackson - 301
  4. Adam Sandler - 295
  5. Al Pacino - 255
  6. Denzel Washington - 183
  7. Billy Bob Thornton - 145
  8. Seth Rogan - 143
  9. Bradley Cooper - 142
  10. Danny McBride - 136

And on the subject of swearing, our own Anika Moa has somewhat of a potty mouth too. Listen below to hear about her sweary encounter with a neighbour that had an unusually happy ending!
