篇章:最强自恋美少年 天天被自己帅醒
Seventeen-year-old Kurt Coleman has garnered an enormous following online by posting selfies and boasting about his good looks.
The teenager, from Gold Coast City, Queensland, has become a web sensation with more than 172,000 followers on Facebook and 87,000 followers on Instagram.
Kurt has compared his pictures to the perfection of a lunar eclipse and jokes that he inspired Beyonc Knowles s hit Flawless.
I m hot and I love myself, Kurt said. People are really jealous of me, I can understand why, and I ll never change for anyone because I love myself.
He also describes himself as the Australian Paris Hilton , whom he idolises because she doesn t care about anything, she just does what she wants .
Kurt appears to be revelling in his new-found fame:
I love how my face and name is everywhere right now, that s how I like it.

When asked to share the secrets of his good looks, Kurt informed Studio 10, every week I get a spray-tan and then I wash my hair every day...I just try and look amazing every day .
Kurt is particularly popular in Australia and there are even businesses which sell Kurt Coleman merchandise.
The Kurt Coleman Supply Company exists to promote the poster-boy to thousands of youth around the world for being who you are and not caring what anyone else thinks.
It s so funny, I can t believe it really, Kurt said.
It s ridiculous, they re making money off my face, I m going to get around to getting money out of them.
In a manner not dissimilar to Justin Bieber, the social media star polarises opinion. Some admire his beauty and liberating individualism but others lament the popularity of a modern-day Narcissus whose looks have stunted the development of his personality.
Haters regularly confront him in the street and the teenager admits to having been hit many times.
