Tough-guy Mr. T is an undercover curling fan
We’ve seen Mr. T in the WWE ring, but it looks like we might see him on the ice soon
No, not playing hockey or speed skating; something a little less … extreme. This week, the former A Team member Mr. T became a big (and vocal) curling aficionado.
Curling is kind of different, but it’s Exciting. It’s not as easy as it looks. It takes some skills that’s for sure. I like it!

On Tuesday, Mr. T praised the Canadian mixed doubles curling team, Kaitlyn Lawes and John Morris, for winning gold in the competition.
He then tweeted that he really liked curling and that he was learning a lot, and introduced the world to the hashtag #curlingiscoolfool. The curling newbie also admitted that curling is not as easy as it looks, and “that little broom” reminded him of a Swiffer Sweeper.
Then he made a big announcement: he was officially choosing curling over wrestling.
I like curling, it’s less wear and tear on the body. I wrestled, boxed, and studied martial arts. I have nothing else to prove. Therefore I choose curling. #curlingiscoolfool

And Mr. T fans were loving every second of it.
"I pity the fool…who doesn't watch curling."
