The Pulp Fiction star revealed that even though his friend Phyllida Lloyd directed the film version of the hit stage play, he was unaware of its production until shooting had been completed, Contactmusic reports.
He said: "I missed that because a friend of mine actually directed Mamma Mia! and I didn't know it until I saw her last year at the British Film Awards and they won all of these awards.
"I would have called to be in Mamma Mia!. I'm a huge Abba fan."
Last November, the picture’s star Meryl Streep said that she would be interested in starring in a follow-up to the blockbuster.
Jackson is currently filming Iron Man 2 as Nick Fury.
