Luke Humphries surprises crowd with bizarre way of drinking during European Darts Grand Prix

Luke Humphries distinguished himself last weekend with a remarkable moment during his match against Connor Scutt. During his convincing 6-1 victory at the European Darts Grand Prix in Sindelfingen, Germany, the world champion drew attention with a very unusual way of drinking water.

Where other darters simply pick up their glass, "Cool Hand Luke" decided to drink from it directly from the table with his back bent, without using his hands. The footage quickly circulated on social media and caused amazement as well as hilarity among fans.

Afterwards, Humphries confronted the moment. "Did that get shown on camera? It was… my hands were so sweaty, and I didn't want to touch the glass because it was so, like..."

"There was so much moisture that I was like, if I pick it up with my hands, it might make…

The world number one declared that the conditions were anything but comfortable. "Look, it's very hot out here. It's really, really tough. It's like being abroad when you're on holiday.

"But you have to make the best of a bad situation, and I thought if I don't touch the glass, I won't add that moisture to my hands, and it worked!

Still, he would have preferred the scene to have gone unnoticed. "I didn't know you were going to catch it on camera. I was hoping I did it discreetly, but yeah, I was just trying to help myself a bit."

Fans reacted amused at the moment. One user on X joked, "Could just use his left hand to pick up the glass." Another suggested with a wink that his nickname be changed: "Gonna have to change his nickname to “Wet hand” Luke now."
