Critics [said]”Of course he could play his father.” So for a year I got no work and it bothered me, “he said.” But Christian and Gerard, they gave me a chance. Those guys, they are my boys. I take things like that to heart and I am grateful for it. When they need me, let’s do it. “

“We knew we had to get that chemistry together,” he said. Although that did not mean a wild night clubs in the second film, he said he and Butler had two days while filming on the Canary Islands.
Jackson said he chose Butler’s brain about the entertainment industry and “received the same advice that my father gave me.”
“[He said] Just to really take care of me, “he explained.” It is very similar to what my father tells me – never do a movie that you would not visit and would always be prepared to say no. … [Gerard pays] Such attention to audience details. “
Jackson said he put a lot of pressure on himself afterwards Straight from Compton.
‘I was so afraid of photographing Straight from Compton Because I thought my life would go in a different direction. I was [studying] Scenario writing at USC. I had these plans that I wanted to do … I didn’t practice [acting] Enough in my mind to follow this route, “he said.” I thought if I have a bad movie, it’s over. “
