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.
Kurt在澳大利亚特别受欢迎,甚至有专门售卖Kurt Coleman商品的业务。
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.'
Kurt Coleman供应公司致力于“向全世界的青少年宣传这位典型少年,由此鼓励人们做自己,不要在乎别人的看法。”
"It's so funny, I can't believe it really," Kurt told MailOnline.
Kurt告诉《每日邮报》,“这太搞笑了,我简直不相信这是真的。”
"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.
与Justin Bieber的方式没什么不同,大家对这位社交明星的看法两极分化。有的人欣赏他的美貌和个性解放,其他人则叹息这位“现代版纳西索斯”的名气——外表阻碍了个性发展。(小编注:希腊神话中,美少年纳西索斯(Narcissus)深爱自己的美貌,后因恋上自己在水中的倒影而在死后化做了水仙花。自恋的英语名称正源自这个故事。)
'Haters' regularly confront him in the street and the teenager admits to having been hit many times.
这位少年承认,经常在街上碰到讨厌他的人,还被袭击过多次。
