Curling addict Mr T in his element

– Curling-mad Mr T swung back into action yesterday to support his favourite sport – firing off a volley of tweets urging his followers to watch wheelchair curling at the Paralympics.

Mr T, who made his name playing big-hearted tough man BA Baracus in 1980s TV hit The A-Team, tweeted about his love of unfashionable curling throughout February’s Winter Olympics.

The American retired wrestler is also following this month’s Paralympics in Pyeongchang closely, in particular the version of curling adapted for disabled athletes.

“Wheelchair curling! This is my first time ever watching wheelchairs curling!” tweeted Mr T, known for his gold chains and Mohican haircut.

“I said it before and I’ll say it again– curling is cool, fool! But wheelchairs curling, more cooler!” – AFP
