Celebrities Who Have Been Spotted Paintballing
Paintball is becoming an increasingly popular pastime. It presents a thrilling, adrenaline-soaked experience in a safe environment as well as a mental and physical skill challenge. This is endearing the sport to more and more people from every background and section of society. In recent years, a number of high-profile celebrities have been spotted paintballing, including: Prince William A couple of years ago, Prince William was getting ready for marriage. As the big day approached, he went out with a few of his friends for some stag celebrations. Paintball formed a big feature of his royal revels and in fact the Prince is something of an enthusiast. He has been paintballing many times with his father, next-in-line for the throne Prince Charles and his brother Prince Harry. It seems paintball goes down well with the Royal family, although there have yet to be any reported instances of the Queen trying it out. Celebrities Who Have Been Spotted Paintballing Half The Premier League Well perhaps not literally but it would take a very long time to list all the footballers who have been spotted paintballing. Some of the most famous football faces who have been spotted donning a paintball mask include Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole. The whole of Newcastle FC have also enjoyed paintball as a team activity. Footballers aren't the only sports personalities who seem to enjoy the odd paintball session either. Racing drivers Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, lightning-fast runner Usain Bolt and the entire Newcastle Falcons rugby team have all been seen engaging in the activity of paintball. Boris Johnson This one seems particularly surprising on one level yet on another level it is surprisingly easy to imagine. Mayor of London and famous accidental comedian Boris Johnson has also been known to pick up a paintball gun and test his marksmanship. It’s a shame there were no TV cameras following 'BoJo' around through the duration of his session (though admittedly a camera crew may have unfairly hampered his efforts just a little bit). One can't help imagining that some inadvertent comedy gold must have taken place at some point in the session. Sadly, this matter is left to the imagination.

Fictional characters in some of the UK's most popular TV series have also been enjoying the sport and it seems particularly popular in comedy programs. Notable comedy characters who have been seen wielding markers of their own include Mark and Jeremy of Peep Show, played by comedy duo David Mitchell and Robert Webb. Another Channel 4 sitcom, Spaced, saw Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's characters (Tim Bisley and Mike Watt respectively) enjoying a weekend paintball sessions, which were stated to be regular activities for the characters. Back in the real world one of the supporting actors from Spaced, stand-up comedian Bill Bailey has been seen enjoying paintball sessions as well.
