Actor Abhishek Bachchan, a self-confessed sports enthusiast, is enjoying London and the ongoing Summer Olympics. 

The actor is a hardcore Chelsea fan and he was completely blown-out of his head when star footballer Ashley Cole obliged to share a frame with him.

Minus wife Ash (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) by his side at the Olympics, Abhishek had another Ash (Ashley Cole) to fit in! He gleefully clicked a picture with the footballer and doesn't seemed to be missing beautiful Ash at all.

Ashley is an English footballer who plays for Chelsea and the England national team.

Abhishek witnessed history being created at the Wimbledon when Andy Murray won the gold medal defeating World no 1 Roger Federer.

Though Abhishek is a Federer fan he was not disappointed to see Andy Murray become an Olympic champion.

While watching the final match from Centre court Abhi couldn't stop himself from tweeting about his excitement.

"Centre court at Wimbledon for the mens single tennis final. Federer vs. Murry. Great atmosphere. #Olympics #comeonRoger".

"Not looking like Federer day. Murray killing him. Crowd going nuts."

Abhishek was at the Olympics as the brand ambassador of Omega watches and he tweeted: "At the Omega olympic park hospitality centre. Looking forward to the 100mt finals".

Father Amitabh Bachchan who had carried the Olympic torch, during the Olympic Torch Relay, organised ahead of the opening ceremony of the grand sporting extravaganza in London wrote,  "One comes another leaves. Abhishek travels out to the Olympics tonight (Sunday). As brand ambassador for Omega and the watch company being one of the sponsors of London2012, he goes to attend some events ! Lucky."
Earlier this month, The Olympics started July 27 and will continue till Aug 12.

Even the stars cannot run away from the Olympic fever.

Even actor Shah Rukh Khan was caught up in the frenzy. He tweeted, "Awesome: staying up with my son & watch Usain Bolt run faster than the speed of thought. They stumble that run too fast no longer relevant.."

Shahid Kapoor who has been catching the Olympic games on TV wrote: "Mari kom wins :) ..... That's being the point guys not the typos .... ". "And now FedEx vs Murray aaah life is great."

Abhishek was lucky enough to see Jamaican runner Usain Bolt setting an Olympic record in the event, running it in simply 9.63 seconds.

"Unbelievable experience to see Bolt run and win the 100mts final live!!!," he continued tweeting.

Abhishek Bachchan was at the Olympic stadium and soaking in the historic moment.

He had a touch of nostalgia watching the men’s high jump event. According to his Twitter update, he used to be a high jumper in school.

"Its electric inside the stadium. Watching the mens high jump. Was a high jumper in school. Excited!!"

Even though his wife, Aishwarya was nowhere to be seen; he seemed to be enjoying himself if his tweets were anything to go by.
