 Samuel L Jackson has a slightly different view of what makes a relaxing holiday as he sunbathed covered in needles and cups. The Marvel star opted for a bit of acupuncture while on holiday this week, as he shared updates of his sundrenched break with fans. And in between shots of blue skies, warm water and delicious meals, he gave Instagram followers a close look at himself relaxing with 16 needles buried into his skin. While to most people this would be the last thing they'd want on a holiday, Samuel appeared to be having the time of his life, writing alongside a close-up of the needles: 'Accu in da Sun!! DAAYUUUM!' He later shared another snap of himself on a boat, casually checking out his phone with over a dozen cups on his spine and shoulders, declaring: 'Lil Cupping To Cap It Off!!' Acupuncture is a popular alternative medicine often used for back pain.

In between his 'accu in the sun,' Samuel enjoyed a series of mouth-watering snacks, from sweet potato and pecan rolls, cornbread and poached eggs, and nectarine croissants. The holiday comes after the Secret Invasion star spent time in London, as Marvel fans devour the new series which recently debuted on Disney Plus. As well as Samuel, the series boasts a majorly star-studded cast, including Oscar-winner Olivia Colman and Game Of Thrones legend Emilia Clarke making their MCU debuts.
