It wasn't long ago that he was still smiling for the cameras on the red carpet in Los Angeles - two weeks to be precise. Now the Hollywood legend had reappeared, thousands of kilometers away and with noticeably fewer flashbulbs. 

Shortly after posing alongside Uma Thurman, John Travolta and Harvey Keitel on the red carpet for the 30th anniversary of the cult classic "Pulp Fiction", actor Samuel L. Jackson made an unexpected appearance at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna's first district.

Sympathetic appearance
When asked by Krone, press spokeswoman Nina Roiss said that the Hollywood star had bought tickets for a performance and had attended it.

There was no private performance for him and he paid for the show himself (not of course): The mime seems to be quite simply a big fan of horsemanship and enjoyed the spectacle among all the other stunned spectators!
