2. Samuel L. Jackson

Who’s that with Magic Johnson? Why it’s Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson, of course, and with a similar taste in suits like his taller friend.

Jackson is known for his outspokenness on and off screen. But apparently his critique of the president dropping off the end of his words to relate to certain audiences didn’t get him banned from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave:

“First of all, we know it ain’t because of his blackness, so I say stop trying to ‘relate.’ Be a leader. Be f**king presidential. Look, I grew up in a society where I could say ‘It ain’t’ or ‘What it be’ to my friends. But when I’m out presenting myself to the world as me, who graduated from college, who had family what cared about me, who has a well-read background, I f**king conjugate.”
