Samuel L. Jackson picked up make-up tips from "The Spirit" co-star Scarlett Johansson, and even borrowed her eye shadow, so he could enhance his scary look in the comic book adventure. The pair play villains in the Frank Miller-directed movie; Jackson is the Octopus, and Johansson is his accomplice.

And Jackson reveals he spent time in their make-up trailer coordinating cosmetics to make sure they complimented each other.

The actor - who celebrates his 60th birthday on Sunday - says, "We shared a makeup trailer, in the mornings I'd see her putting eye shadow on, and I'd say, 'I need some of that.' I showed off what we did to Frank Miller, and he said, 'I like it.'"
