Samuel L Jackson may have had a very baffling 74th birthday after accidentally finding himself trending on Twitter.

However, fans weren’t showering him in celebratory wishes on Wednesday – instead, giving him a swift lesson on social media.

In fact, many stepped in to warn the Pulp Fiction actor that his ‘likes’ on the platform are public and can be seen by everyone, after his account was spotted liking multiple X-rated posts.

Probably not the most ideal way to spend your big day…

One helpful user directed their message straight to Samuel, penning: ‘Hi mate letting you know your likes are public and everyone can see them.’

‘We can deadass see your likes, theyre public big bro [sic],’ another added, tagging the Marvel favorite.

After trending, and giving fans around the world a giggle, the raunchy posts in question were eventually unliked – but he has yet to speak out over the move.

It must be noted that the Hollywood icon may not be in control of his Twitter account, or may have been hacked.

Samuel is currently married to LaTanya Richardson Jackson, with the pair tying the knot in August, 1980.

In 2020, they celebrated their milestone 40-year anniversary, but have kept their romance largely out of the spotlight.

Speaking to People Magazine earlier this year, the couple – who share daughter Zoe together – offered up a rare insight into their decade-spanning relationship.

They explained that, at the beginning of their relationship, they always said ‘the most revolutionary thing that Black people could do was stay together’ and ‘raise their children with the nucleus of having a father and a mother.

‘Everybody likes to pretend that that’s not the dynamic of the African American family, that it’s just children out here being raised by women, which we know is false.’

‘In order to change that narrative, we made a decision to say, “We are going to stay together no matter what. We’ll figure it out.”’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Samuel L Jackson’s reps for a comment.
