In an interview with
Playboy Magazine, the Django Unchained actor admitted he used to go
skinny dipping in at a relative's farm in Georgia, US, with girls who
were a little older than he was.
He added he was willing to 'do that thing' as long as they consented.
'There was a family of girls who lived through the woods from us, and we all used to meet at this creek and swim naked.
'I was about 10 or 11. I think two of the girls were about 14, 15, so that's when it happened.
'Girls
were interesting to me, period. They could be fat, skinny, tall, short,
ugly, beautiful - as long as they were willing to do that thing.'

dressing in a traditional outfit, Jackson still wears his trademark
back-to-front cap

Jackson has completely sober for almost 20 years.
In
1991 he overdosed on crack cocaine, which led to him being taken to
rehab 'kicking and screaming', and has not touched a drop of alcohol
since.
In an interview in 2006, he said: 'I took drugs for 27 years. I was OK, making a living and doing fine.'
'When
I was doing drugs and drink, I was a good actor but marginally
successful. I needed to be sober to get in touch with the last little
element of something that no one can teach you - the honesty of reaching
an emotion that's not clouded by a drug.
'I
was at a dead point. One night I went to a bachelor party and got
drunk. On the way home I decided I needed some cocaine so I wouldn't be
so drunk. I went home, cooked it and passed out.
He
added: 'Now I can reach in and tap something and use all those other
questions directors taught me to ask and make it a very real thing for
the audience to watch.
'If I drank again or did drugs I would lose all of that and go straight back to that place where I was.'
Oktoberfest runs from late September to the first weekend in October.
It
is one of the most famous events in Germany and is the world's largest
fair, with more than 6 million people from around the world attending
the event every year.
