Washington, Nov 3 : Samuel L. Jackson was thrilled when he discovered that his favourite porn icon was among his co-stars in a new movie ‘Soul Men’.

The ‘Pulp Fiction’ actor was extremely pleased to hear that Vanessa Del Rio would be joining him in the film, which also stars the late Bernie MAC.

"I was shocked the day we had Vanessa Del Rio on set. I''m sure a lot of kids don''t have a clue who she is but I was excited about her because she was the first porn star who really enjoyed sex,” Contactmusic quoted Jackson, as saying.

"When I was on set with her and Bernie he said, ''Man, she''s about to kill me! She''s jumping up and down. She''s just butt wild.''

"She was having a good time. It''ll be interesting to see how many people recognise who she is," he added. (ANI)
