Samuel L. Jackson was mistaken for a homeless person after straying off the set of his new movie in full costume and make-up.

Jackson plays a former boxer who finds himself homeless in Resurrecting The Champ and admits his on-set look was so convincing, fellow vagrants thought he was also seeking shelter.

He says: "I was walking around, smoking cigarettes and these guys thought I was one of them and then when we went to the shelter to eat for the lunch scene with Josh Hartnett, I kind of fooled a lot of people there too."
