Hollywood star Jack Black, known for his comedy and music roles, made the most of his time in Birmingham, delighting fans with his antics around the city. The actor was in town with Kyle Gass for a series of sold-out Tenacious D shows at Resorts World Arena on May 7.

Earlier in the day, the multi-talented performer was seen outside Poundland, where he humorously asked a Wolverhampton father-of-two to hand over his house keys, wallet and the phone they were using for a selfie.

Before heading back to the Arena for the evening show, Black and a group of friends decided to dine at Asha’s, a popular celebrity hangout in Birmingham known for its curry. The actor joins the ranks of Tom ‘Two Tikkas’ Cruise and singer Pink, who have both previously dined at Asha’s during their visits to Birmingham.
