Marvel star Samuel L Jackson visits Westminster
- Published
As MPs rushed around Westminster at loggerheads over Brexit, they may have missed a superstar in their midst.
Hollywood actor Samuel L Jackson has been in SW1 carrying out research for an upcoming documentary on slavery.
The film will mark 400 years since the first African citizen was transported as a slave.
Jackson revealed his whereabouts on Instagram, posting a picture from Victoria Tower Gardens - just outside the Houses of Parliament.
He also shared images of himself with a copy of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act of 1807, which is held by the National Archives.
