Samuel L Jackson seen in video enjoying surprise visit at drag show in Glasgow

Samuel L Jackson rocked up unexpectedly at a drag show in Glasgow over the weekend.

The Hollywood star made a surprise appearance at nightclub SWG3 on Saturday to the delight of locals.

The 74-year-old took in a Bongo’s Bingo event at the venue where he enjoyed the entertainment and at one point whipped out his phone to record part of the show.

Bongo’s Bingo describes itself as offering both traditional bingo as well as dance-offs, raves, and audience games.

A clip on social media, captured by Capital FM radio DJ Katy J, shows the Oscar winner laughing from the side of the stage as he enjoyed a performance from a drag act.

The video of the Pulp Fiction star has attracted comments praising his appearance at the event on Twitter: “Samuel L Jackson in Bongos Bingo in Glasgow. Now there is a sentence I never thought I would type.”

Another wrote: “I love that Samuel L Jackson is supporting drag shows at bongos bingo. Good for him!”

While a third commented: “Samuel Jackson at Bongos Bingos is the most random and amazing thing I’ve seen in a while.”

According to Deadline, Jackson is said to be in Glasgow filming new detective thriller, Damaged.

The actor has been exploring the Scottish city, having been seen visiting local restaurants, including a Chinese eatery where he took selfies with members of staff.
