Darts star Luke Littler tries out brand new sport and fans reckon they know where he learned his technique

Darts sensation Luke Littler has sparked excitement by experimenting with a brand new sport, with fans speculating about the origins of his technique based on recent observations. The 18-year-old world champion, fresh off his dramatic World Matchplay quarter-final qualification on July 23, 2025, was spotted trying his hand at an unnamed sport during a break from his darts schedule. Social media buzz suggests he displayed a fluid, precise style that caught attention, leading fans to theorize he might have drawn inspiration from a film star known for athletic prowess, though no specific name has been confirmed. Posts found on X indicate some believe his movements resemble those of a Hollywood action hero, with guesses ranging from Tom Cruise’s stunt work to Jason Statham’s fight scenes, though these remain speculative.

Littler’s foray into this new sport aligns with his reputation for versatility, honed from years of mastering darts since age 18 months, as noted in past interviews where he emphasized practice shaping his skill. His athletic background, including representing England in youth darts and hitting four nine-darters in 2024, suggests a natural adaptability that could translate to other disciplines. While details of the sport and technique origin are unclear, the buzz reflects his growing influence, with fans eager to see if this experiment enhances his already impressive game. As he prepares for his Matchplay quarter-final against Andrew Gilding on July 25, 2025, at 06:38 PM WAT, this sideline venture adds an intriguing layer to “The Nuke’s” evolving career.
