Is what actor Abhishek Bachchan seems to be, as he enjoys himself at Wimbledon at the ongoing London Olympics

Actor Abhishek Bachchan, who flew to London on Saturday night to attend the ongoing Summer Olympics, is having a ball of a time. The actor, who had earlier said that he’s always wanted to watch the sporting event live, finally made it to London this year as he is the Indian brand ambassador of the company that is the official timekeeper at the Olympics. As the brand ambassador, Abhishek will be attending a lot of events and catching all the action live. Since he is also very popular on micro-blogging site Twitter, he made it a point to keep his fans informed about all the action at Olympics. He was constantly updating his status and posting pictures. A source close to the actor, talks about what Abhishek is up to at the London Olympics. “Abhishek is super excited to be there and wants to make the most of his trip. He had to work around his schedule to get a week off to be in London, so he is going to make it count. On his first day there, he saw the tennis final between tennis legend Roger Federer and Andy Murray. The actor, who was rooting for Federer was slightly disappointed as the Swiss legend lost out on the Gold medal. He posted, “Centre court at Wimbledon for the mens single tennis final. Federer vs. Murry. Great atmosphere. #Olympics #comeonRoger” After the tennis match, he headed to the stadium to catch all the action happening with the athletics. Watching the high jump finals, he even got slightly nostalgic as he remembered his school days. He posted, “Its electric inside the stadium. Watching the mens high jump. Was a high jumper in school. Excited!!” After the high jump matches, Abhishek also saw the Olympic gold medalist, sprinter Usain Bolt’s 100m final race. Abhi was extremely ecstatic after Bolt’s win as he posted, “Unbelievable experience to see Bolt run and win the 100mts final live!!!” Besides catching a lot of sporting actions live, the actor, who is also a huge fan of football, got to meet celebrated football player, Ashley Cole at the stadium. He later took to Twitter as he posted a picture of himself with Cole, “Was great to catch up with @TheRealAC3 at the stadium.Chelsea in da house!@chelseafc #londonOlympics”
