What Luke Littler did on his 18th birthday says it all about darts sensation

Luke Littler celebrated his 18th birthday in a refreshingly normal fashion - by hitting the bowling lanes with his mates. Despite being crowned the youngest-ever world champion in darts earlier this month, Littler is determined to stay grounded. And that showed with what he did as he officially became an adult on Tuesday (January 21).
He shared his low-key birthday experience with Online Darts, explaining: "Yeah, it was good. Went bowling with a few of my friends. Didn't play the best, but it was just good to get out and celebrate.". Before he went bowling, it appears that Littler enjoyed a classic chippy dinner, as his dad was caught on camera fetching food from Castlerise Fish and Chips while the young star was live-streaming FIFA to his TikTok followers. When asked about his father's fish and chips run, Littler said: "Yeah, it was weird obviously.
"Surely they know that I'm going to go out, but obviously before that I was on TikTok playing my FIFA in front of like 4,000 people. So obviously they thought I was staying in for the night, but unlucky for them, I went out.". Unlike some of the more extravagant 18th birthday bashes thrown by celebrities and sports stars, Littler's modest celebration highlights just how down-to-earth he remains amidst his meteoric rise in the darting world. For instance, pop star Justin Bieber marked his 18th birthday with a lavish bash at the Beverley Wilshire Hotel, rubbing shoulders with celebs like Kim Kardashian and Mike Tyson.
Meanwhile, AC Milan's Alvaro Morata reportedly spent his special day with football legend Ronaldo Nazario. 'The Nuke' has been making waves in the world of darts over the past year, first turning heads at the 2024 PDC World Championship, where he entered as a 66/1 outsider and astonishingly made it to the final.
