WELL this is awkward.

Samuel L. Jackson was being interviewed on KTLA TV in this moing when the entertainment reporter, Sam Rubin, confused the movie star for fellow actor Laurence Fishbue.

Jackson was doing the interview to promote his latest film RoboCop, but he was confused when he was asked by the interviewer about his appearance in a recent Super Bowl ad.

Slight problem, Jackson didn’t do a Super Bowl ad, Fishbue did.

What followed was one of the more cringe-worthy interviews ever.
