Joshua Jackson 're-proposed' to Jodie Turner-Smith after she asked him to marry her: 'I'm still old-school'

• Joshua Jackson said in a new interview that he "re-proposed" to Jodie Turner-Smith.
• Turner-Smith was the first one to pop the question, but the actor said he was "old school."
• Jackson recalled telling his wife he wanted to "do it the old fashioned way down on bended knee."

Joshua Jackson shared in a new interview how he "re-proposed" to wife Jodie Turner-Smith after she popped the question for the first time.

The couple recently revealed that it was Turner-Smith who first asked Jackson to marry her, but the "Dr. Death" star told Refinery29 that he also wanted a chance to propose the "old-fashioned" way.

"We were in Nicaragua on a beautiful moonlit night, it could not possibly have been more romantic," Jackson said. "And yes, my wife did propose to me and yes, I did say yes."

According to the actor, however, he was "still old school enough" to ask Turner-Smith for a chance to propose himself - and ask her father and stepfather for her hand in marriage.

"'I would like the opportunity to re-propose those to you and do it the old fashioned way down on bended knee,'" Jackson recalled telling Turner-Smith.

Elsewhere in the interview, Jackson also defended Turner-Smith from critics who called her out for being the one to propose to him first.

"For anybody who is freaked out by a woman claiming her own space, shut the f--k up," Jackson said. "She did it. I said 'yes.' We're happy. That's it. That's all you need to know."

He also condemned the "racist" and "misogynist" online hate that Turner-Smith regularly receives on social media, telling Refinery29, "That has been a real education for me as a white man, truly."

"The way people get in her comments and the ignorance and ugliness that comes her way is truly shocking," Jackson said.

"And it has been a necessary, but an unpleasant education in just the way people relate to Black bodies in general, but Black female bodies in specific," he continued, adding, "It is not okay. We have a long way to go."

This isn't the first time Jackson has been open about his relationship with the "Queen & Slim" star, with whom he has a baby daughter.

Last month, the "Dawson's Creek" actor told Insider that he and Turner-Smith had a "three-night stand" the first time they met.

"We definitely hit it off," Jackson joked. "It was sealed with a kiss that night and then we didn't leave each other's sides for, well, three years now."
