His many roles have made him one of the highest grossing actors at the box office, and his millionaire lifestyle usually sees him mixing with the rich and famous in exotic locations.

But A-list actor Samuel L. Jackson (pictured right), famous for covering his bald head with a flat cap, is rumoured to have stayed for 15 minutes at Lou Lou’s hairdressers in Herne Bay High Street last Wednesday before shooting off to a secret hideaway.

The rumours escalated after a plea for sightings of the megastar was put on the Herne Bay Town Partners website.

Town co-ordinator Chris West posted an article saying Jackson had been spotted at a local hairdressers and invited people to email him if they had seen the actor.

He said: “An informer told me he was at Lou Lou’s and his wife was having her hair cut. Someone then told me he had been seen in the William Street car park.

“I legged it out of the office with my camera but he was gone.

“People who saw him say they are convinced it was him. Obviously I can’t be sure myself.”

Jackson, whose many films include Pulp Fiction, Jurassic Park and Star Wars, was allegedly mobbed on the same day in Canterbury.

Reports suggest he was visiting the cathedral when he was spotted by a crowd of fans.

Cathedral spokesman Chris Robinson: “I’ve never heard of him. He sounds like a High Court judge.”
