If you've ever wanted to swear like legendary big screen potty-mouth Samuel L. Jackson, then now is your chance.

But on one condition... you have to sign up to vote.

The Pulp Fiction icon has said that if 2,500 people register via the HeadCount website, a voter registration drive in the US, then he'll pull out all the stops.

He tweeted: “Listen up – If 2,500 of you click a voting action below to make sure you’re #GoodToVote, I will teach you to swear in 15 different languages.”

It's comforting to know that you will be learning from an expert in his field.

Jackson has been a previous record holder of the most swears uttered in the movies, with 301 on-screen profanities.

Sadly, he was beaten into second place this year by Jonah Hill, who, largely thanks to the movie The Wolf Of Wall Street, slipping into the top spot with 376.

Jackson isn't the only star to be urging people to make sure they're registered to vote in the forthcoming US presidential elections.

Watch: Chris Evans uses photo leak to encourage people to vote

His fellow Marvel star Chris Evans yesterday used his accidental notoriety – after he unwittingly posted a NSFW picture on his Instagram stories – to pass on a similar message, though without the promise of swearing at the end of it.

Jackson, meanwhile, has long been a vocal critic of Donald Trump.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live last Friday, he said: “Who can still be voting for this guy after all the stuff that has gone down on his watch?

“The fact of the matter is that Donald Trump is dangerous for our country.”
