Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson enjoying Amsterdam

Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson drew quite a bit of attention in Amsterdam over the weekend while shooting for their new movie The Hitman's Bodyguard. Both of them are enjoying Amsterdam, they told RTL Boulevard. "I love this city", Reynolds said. "It's a great place", Jackson said. "I wish we'd done the whole movie here, instead of some of the other places we've been." The actors planned to do some site seeing between shots. Reynolds avoids the tourist spots and likes to "get on a bike and get lost". Jackson prefers walking around and visiting museums like the Rijksmuseum. The two acknowledged that they were drawing much attention from the locals. "But that's because it's unusual and its odd, and we're shooting guns in the city", Jackson said. Reynolds finds the curiosity natural. "I would too (come watch, ed) if some weird Hollywood movie came and took over our beautiful spaces."
