Samuel L. Jackson, 75, and Magic Johnson, 65, have been enjoying a European getaway together, recently spotted in the picturesque coastal town of Saint-Tropez. With Jackson being a frequent collaborator in commercials with Charles Barkley and a close friend of Michael Jordan, it’s no surprise he’s vacationing with the basketball legend.
Despite Magic Johnson’s towering 6-foot-9 frame making him easily recognizable, especially without a hat or sunglasses, Samuel L. Jackson was more low-key in his bucket hat and shades. Jackson was seen relaxing on a bench, savoring gelato, while Johnson engaged with fans inside the gelato shop. Johnson’s status as an international star was evident when he greeted a group of young fans, giving a fist bump to one of them before leaving.
While Johnson is often mobbed by fans in the U.S., both he and Jackson managed to enjoy some anonymity in Saint-Tropez. Their vacation has been ongoing since early July, including a memorable Fourth of July celebration with Cedric the Entertainer aboard a luxury yacht off Ibiza. Johnson later shared highlights of the trip on Instagram, expressing his joy at celebrating the holiday with friends overseas.
