Samuel L Jackson delights staff at Glasgow restaurant as he stops by for dinner

Samuel L Jackson delighted staff at a popular Chinese restaurant in Glasgow as he tucked into a meal in the city.

The Hollywood icon was spotted dining with a group of pals including Scots actor and co-star Gianni Capaldi.

The 74-year-old enjoyed some food at Amber Regent, located on Regent Street, which is just a short walk from Glasgow Central Station.

According to Glasgow Live, the star appeared to be in high spirits throughout the night as the group tucked into grub and took some selfies with Amber Regent’s staff members and diners.

Manageress Christina Chung said: "We were thrilled to have Mr Jackson dine with us. It was an honour to serve him and his friends, and we are delighted that he enjoyed our food.”

Jackson is currently in Scotland filming his latest movie and during his down time has been exploring the city - even enjoying a night out at the infamous Bongo's Bingo night at SWG3.

A video which circulated on social media showed the acclaimed actor laughing as he films a drag queen's strip tease during the show in Glasgow on Saturday night.

He later posed for photos with Bongo's performers and staff after being invited backstage. Bongo's founder Jonny Lacey captioned the video: "Good to have @samuelljackson fly over for the @bongosbingo Glasgow show."

The star's new drama, Damaged, filmed in Scotland, is about a detective who travels to the country from Chicago after a series of murders.
