Samuel L. Jackson tried to motivate his fans to stay at home during the coronavirus pandemic by reading a children’s poetry book titled “Stay the F*ck at Home.”

Jackson was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which is being broadcast from the TV host’s home.

During the brief interview, Jackson, 71, claimed the book is a sequel to the 2011 children’s book for adults titled “Go the F*ck to Sleep.”

“Now technically I’m not a doctor, but motherf*ckers listen when I read a poem. So here I am, Sam F*cking Jackson.”

He continued: “I’m imploring you: Keep your a** at home. If you want things to go back to normal, don’t panic, just use your dome. Wash your hands, don’t touch your face and stay the f*ck at home.”

Jackson continued: “Motherf*ckers it’s not time to gamble, look around, you’re not at a casino. Just stay the f**k home as if your name was Trenton Quarantino.

“Sure, you can still see your friend, use the motherf*cking app on your phone, but unless you just ran out of groceries, please stay the f**k at home!”

“Go the F**k to Sleep” is a real book written Adam Mansbach and Ricardo Cortes. Jackson said he got a call from Mansbach about doing a sequel.
