COULD Hollywood megastar Samuel L Jackson really have been eating a pizza in La Cala this weekend?
One, sharp-eyed Olive Press reader Ben Thomas believes he identified the suavely-dressed gent as none other than the Pulp Fiction superstar.
And while the story may sound far-fetched, Mr Jackson was significantly absent from his co-stars’ 20th anniversary celebrations in Cannes this week.
Director Quentin Tarantino walked the red carpet with Uma Thurman and John Travolta, celebrating two decades since Pulp Fiction came out, but there was noticeably no sign of Jackson.
So perhaps he really was eating at Pizzeria Alejandro – just a stone’s throw from the La Cala de Mijas town hall – instead.
He certainly showed star quality, explained our celebrity snapper Ben, when he became incredibly picky with his food.
“He was giving very specific instructions and left when the restaurant was unable to satisfy his demands,” he said.
In the end, the bereted actor left after just one drink, by which time he had already started to draw curious glances.
Of COURSE – he expected GREAT pizza with double cheese and extra pepperoni. We recommended he leave and go to Il Vegabondo in NYC to have all he wants – exactly as wanted!
He can even play indoor Bocci while he waits. Bueno!!
Come on! A black guy wearing a hat does not make him Samuel L Jackson! This guy doesn’t look remotely like him and he’s also a lot heavier.
@ Dave – was your comment about his weight/appearance BEFORE or AFTER he ate the Pizza? Molte bene!!
ok everybody yes he is in town we saw him today and had a chat in a bar very near to La Cala where he was left to enjoy his drink without being pestered. we had a quick chat and a photo and he was the most charming celeb you could ever want to meet.
Pls send us a pic
I know this guy, he does look a bit like SLJ. but only a bit.
Well he had me fooled. Had our photo took with him n he was a lovely guy. Would love to know for sure if it was him coz I’m convinced it was
I meet Samuel l jackson at the thai resturant in la cala desember 2015. He was very friendly.Im a great fan of Pulp fiction so it was great to see him.
“He was giving very specific instructions and left when the restaurant was unable to satisfy his demands”
Specific “pizza instructions?” lol.
