Paul James is an older gentleman who has a show, Gardening By the Yard on HGTV. He is ALWAYS showing off his bare feet in his show, and they are actually pretty nice. Anyway, I was reading through the Q & A section of his site, thinking that maybe someone asked him if he was ticklish.
Bingo! Someone did. Apparently, around the time he answered the question, it seemed that he had three different questions regarding his feet, here is how he answered:
I got three questions regarding my feet. Interesting, huh? One was from someone who merely wanted me to know how much he or she admired them. Thanks for that. Another one was from someone who wanted to know if my feet are ticklish. (Answer: Yes, very much so.) And the third was from someone who wanted to know my shoe size, which happens to be 13D.
Jonathan Sadowski (actor, "Friday the 13th") discuses how his brothers used to hold him down and tickle-torture him on his feet, when he was a child! He also sheepishly admits to having a "foot thing":
Aaron: WHAT is the deal with your foot thing? Were you traumatized by a sock in elementary school?
Jonathan: Pretty close. There are two reasons why I am so protective of my tootsies: One, my older brothers used to hold me down and tickle my feet. It was torture. Literally. It was like Guantanamo.
Guy McKnight (vocalist of Brighton 80s band Matchbox B-Line Disaster) talks about getting tickled and involuntarily pissing.
The hardest I ever laughed “On tour once, a friend of mine decided to attack me by tickling me while I was wearing only my boxer shorts. I involuntarily pissed all over his hands.”
Benjamin Law (Brisbane-based freelance writer of books, magazine articles, etc.) discusses his book "The Family Law) and his relationship with his brother:
4. What was your childhood relationship with your older brother like?
Growing up, my fights with him would involve him tickling me to the point of tears, and me spitting and scratching at him, cat-like. This is all documented in the book.
Tony Stewart (American auto racing driver and owner) is reported being ticklish, in an online article called "Cheers and Jeers" in the magazine "Race Journal Online":

CHEERS to Ryan (Newman) knowing that Tony is ticklish under his arms.
Paul Reiffer (UK based model) admits his feet are really ticklish in an on-line interview:
Whenever I post your photos on the blog on Fridays there’s a lot of fingerprints on them and you know that some of the regulars think you have the prettiest feet. So, do you have your own “person” who rubs your feet with all kinds of restorative ointments to give them that great look? Nadja (an author who is here on the blog every Friday hoping to see another picture of you) thinks that your feet are the hottest that she has seen to date. I don’t know if she goes around asking guys to take off their shoes but she seems to be an expert. What would you say to Nadja, the perv?
He he! Well – Hi “Nadja the perv”! The funny thing is, I’m REALLY ticklish on my feet. (I get it from my dad) so nobody touches them normally – even Sarah who does my massage knows not to go near them for fear of her own life! It’s the first time I’d ever heard the “nice feet” thing when you mentioned it, but someone else mentioned it the other day. Oooooh. Maybe I should go into foot modeling… There’s a thought! Tell you what, here’s a couple images for Nadja in your email ;-)

The Century (pop/rock band) Ryan Gose, the band's drummer, was asked on his official formspring page if any of the guys in the band are ticklish. He responded:
Are any of you guys ticklish? and if so where?? haha i know this is a weird question but im sure im not the only one wondering...
Update: Here's more tickle talk from Ryan's formspring from yesterday:
Hey, Ryan, I was wondering who's the most ticklish guy in the band and do you have ticklish feet? 🙂 You're so handsome and cute!
Hmmm probably Alex...idk for sure. I am not really ticklish at all but I hate saying it because people try to prove me wrong. Haha...& they don't. Oh & thanks!! 🙂
Update: The guys in The Century were asked if they are ticklish on their official myspace page and gave an answer, that kind of contradicted Ryan's early formspring posts and denial of being ticklish:
well thank you!!! to answer your question...alex and sean are incredibly ticklish but joel and ryan are only moderately ticklish 🙂
Update 2: Alex Silverman was asked if any of the guys in The Century are ticklish, and where, on his formspring page, and responded:

Shaun White (American professional snowboarder and skateboarder) is ticklish. Here are to questions, sent directly to the owner of his biggest fan site on his formspring page, in which he discusses Shaun's ticklishness, and a pic and video of him being tickled:
is Shaun White ticklish? i saw a picture once of his brother tackling him and he was under him laughing--i didnt know if that was why?
yeah I think so, I saw few videos and it looked like hes a very ticklish person indeed 😀

well I could search for some videos 🙂 yeah I saw one video in which he was tickled by someone but I think it was his friend. So yeah I'll keep that in mind that you want some family videos 🙂
and thank you so much for following me 🙂 that means a lot to me 🙂
wow, loads of new finds!! Brandon Beemer's feet are gorgeous! (Too bad he didn't say if his feet are ticklish, but even if his feet weren't, I'd still love to get my hands on them)
Funny you should say that, cos' I just checked his forum and, apparently, somebody thought the same thing and actually posted the question! So, hopefully, he will respond and give a positive answer! 🙂
Richard Branson (British industrialist, best known for his Virgin Group of over 360 companies) gives an exciting answer to the question "Are you ticklish?", during an online Q&A session:
Jerry de Borg (guitarist/backing vocal for British rock band Jesus Jones) did an interview where he talks on things that makes him laugh. Tickling comes up, but his answer is not very detailed:
Tim Gunn (TV personality, Project Runaway) is ticklish! He gets tickled by Heidi Klum in a Project Runaway backstage video, upper-body tickling, and just laugh his head off. I'd call him extremely ticklish!
"Tim Gunn is Ticklish! Project Runway finale in T minus 5 minutes! I've been passing this time by watching this cute behind the scenes clip that starts as a walk off and devolves into a ticklefest involving Heidi and Tim."
Mac Barnett (writer) is ticklish. When you go to his site, there's a sketch of him and the word "ticklish" written with a pointer in his direction. "tickle him", and you're in the site! lol Also, here's a "Three Silly Things About Mac Barnett" article on facebook:
