Either Samuel L Jackson didn't know this was visible, or something's gone horribly wrong at his management team...
Fans have been warning Samuel L Jackson about how Twitter works after the actor was spotted liking explicit porn on the social media platform.
The actor celebrated his 74th birthday yesterday, but ended up trending for all the wrong reasons after eagle-eyed Twitter users saw that his account had been 'liking' on some pretty hardcore content.
The likes have since disappeared from his account, but not before some managed to get screenshots and screen-records.
It's probably important to point out that this wasn't necessarily Jackson himself who hit like on the content. He'll almost certainly have a team managing his socials, so it could have been any of them.
And it's also possible that his account was simply hacked.

Either way, he was inundated by messages from fans warning him that everyone can see his likes in his account.
One person tweeted him: “NOOOOOO @SamuelLJackson YOUR LIKES ARE PUBLIC!!!!!”
Another said: “@SamuelLJackson hi mate letting you know your likes are public and everyone can see them.”

A third wrote: “Can someone PLEASE tell @SamuelLJackson his likes are public.”
A fourth added: "YOUR LIKES ARE PUBLIC SAMUEL L JACKSON WE CAN ALL SEE THEM NOO."
But others weren't too surprised about the likes, reminding others of a previous quote from Jackson...

Anyway, the Twitter hijinks aside, here's hoping Jackson had a lovely 74th birthday. And, let's be honest, he looks amazing for 74.
He's previously lifted the lid on how he tries to stay looking younger than his years. Speaking to On Demand Entertainment 14 years ago he
explained: "When I was a kid and I'd talk to my grandfather's brothers and they'd say how old they were you'd be like 'oh my god they're so old'.
"Then you find someone who passes [...] and you think that's so young. Now I'll be 60 this year, when I look in the mirror it's not what I expected to see when I heard the word 'Sam' and '60' so maybe I do look a bit younger.
"Times have changed, we have better exercise regimes, do better with our diets, they have such great skincare products now, and if all else fails, find a good doctor."
