Dwayne Johnson breaks Guinness World Record at San Andreas premiere
Hollywood hardman Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson broke a Guinness World Record for 'selfies' at the world premiere of San Andreas in London on Thursday night (21May15).
The wrestler-turned-actor attempted to beat the world record for the greatest number of 'selfies' taken within three minutes.
Ticket holders to the premiere lined up on the red carpet and
jumped into a picture taken by Johnson on a cell phone. Johnson had
to take more than the record 75 pictures and each snap had to be in
focus, and feature the head and shoulders of his companion.
Once the three minutes were up, an official from Guinness World
Records analysed the pictures and returned at the end of the
premiere to announce that Johnson had set a new best by taking 105
eligible 'selfies' and present him with a certificate.
Johnson says, "I gotta say thank you so much, I could not have done
it without everyone who was helping me. I appreciate it but I came
to London to break a record, and London we broke a record."
To celebrate, he took a video 'selfie' with the crowd at the
premiere.
