Vacation buddies! Samuel L. Jackson and Magic Johnson get to grips with gelato in Portofino as they cool off with icy treats during joint family holiday
In what's become an annual ritual, pals Magic Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson and their spouses have embarked on a luxury cruise around the Mediterranean.
As they stopped off in Portofino on the Italian Riviera on Sunday, the two stars decided to treat themselves to some icy gelato.
The basketball legend and the veteran Hollywood actor were spotted picking out their flavors in a popular parlor in the exclusive seaside resort.

The Avengers star seemed to go with the orange flavored ice while the NBA All-Star opted for lemon.
The pair seemingly couldn't wait to get their taste, both diving in to lick the melting gelato from the cones as soon as they were served.
And it looked as if it was Jackson who offered to pick up the tab.

The two guys stopped to pick up the tasty treats as they took a break from accompanying their wives around the boutique stores in the exclusive resort.
Johnson was spotted with wife Cookie checking out designer handbags while Jackson was photographer waiting outside while his wife LaTanya Richardson checked out dresses inside.
The two couples have been vacationing in Europe together every year since 2011 and like many other celebrities at this time of year, they've chartered a luxury yacht to cruise the Mediterranean hotspots.

Portofino is the latest stop for the vacationers who have previously disembarked at Sorrento on the Bay of Naples and the French island of Corsica.
The couples also took to motor launches piloted by crew members to travel between the yacht and the shore.
The two families were also seen relaxing on board their yacht and enjoying a gourmet meal together with some friends.
Both Johnson and Jackson have been documenting their travels on their social media accounts.
Johnson said on Instagram that he and Cookie 'are having such a great time on our vacation!'
Jackson shared a photo of the waterfront buildings in Portofino with the caption: 'No words.'
