The Pulp Fiction star confessed: "I’ve done s--- in my marriage that's crazy, you know?

After 44 years of marriage, Jackson quipped another other option to surviving decades together was to simply look the other way when it comes to a partner's irritating qualities.

He added: "Or there are certain things that you learn to ignore about people – that she's learned to ignore about me."

In 2022, Jackson revealed he and his wife made a pact when they first married to "stay together no matter what", which eventually included the actor's battle with substance abuse.

LaTanya said: "In the beginning, we always said the most revolutionary thing that Black people could do was stay together, raise their children with the nucleus of having a father and a mother, since everybody likes to pretend that that's not the dynamic of the African American family.

"That it's just children out here being raised by women, which we know is false.

"In order to change that narrative, we made a decision to say, 'We are going to stay together no matter what. We'll figure it out."
