Samuel L. Jackson emotionally disconnected: Wife

London, May 3 (IANS) LaTanya Richardson, the wife Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson, has opened up about the couple's 40-year relationship, saying her husband is smart but emotionally disconnected.

The actress and TV producer wed Jackson in 1980 after a long courtship, but admits their relationship has not always been easy.

"I felt abandoned. It was easier in the earlier years when we sometimes acted together onstage," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

But at the same time she says their bond has improved over time.

"He's changing. The other day I cut my hand and he took me to the hospital," she said.
