Samuel L Jackson has refused to star in director Jim Sheridan's new film - because rapper 50 Cent is in the cast.
Jackson has revealed that he refuses to work alongside actors who have yet to prove themselves.
He told The Mirror, "Hollywood people think because one is successful in one aspect of entertainment, they can bring them into this particular world and make a success out of them.
"These people think they are worthy of you sharing time on screen with them. I don't particularly think that. Maybe if 50 Cent does five movies and shows me some talent."
