Jackson still has a beef with an item that Village Voice columnist Michael Musto ran following an interview the actor had done to promote Paul Greengrass’s 2006 docudrama United 93, which was nominated for a best-directing Oscar. In United 93, Jackson made his feature-film debut as heroic gay rugby player Mark Bingham. “I said something along the lines of, ‘If my mom or wife or baby had been on the plane…’ Well, Musto heard ‘wife’ and wrote in his column, ‘Nobody asked about [Jackson’s] sexuality after that.’ It was bitchy, obnoxious, and really kind of harmful.” He pauses, then laughs, catching himself getting, well, all shook up. “That stuff clearly gets on my nerves.”
