14 DAY TRIAL // If you ever wondered what the most arrogant teenager on the planet looks like, meet Kurt Coleman, a 17-year-old boy who lives on the Gold Coast, Australia.
He is not a model, nor a celebrity of any kind, but he has an army of fans just because he is self-confident and loves himself. The self-proclaimed “most famous teenager in Australia” has over 170,000 followers on Facebook and 85,000 on Instagram, and keeps them updated regularly with new pictures and wise words.
In an interview with a local TV station, the youngster said Paris Hilton was his idol because they had a lot of things in common.
“She's my inspiration, she's just like me, that's why I love her,” he said.
The over-confident teen thinks he's perfect and also claims to be the inspiration behind Beyonce Knowles' hit “Flawless.” And like any other narcissistic person, he takes lots of photos of himself and posts them on his social accounts accompanied by self-bragging messages.
“I'm hot and I love myself. People are really jealous of me, I can understand why, and I'll never change for anyone because I love myself,” Kurt told his fans.
The fact that he is so overly obsessed with himself led many to believe that his social accounts are actually fake, and he's just playing a role there, but the youngster says that's how he really is. He explains that his confidence is genuine and is not hiding any insecurities.
“I'm obsessed with me and that just makes everyone else obsessed with me,” he admits. And when asked if he really does love himself, he insisted, “I do, I love who I am, I don't think it's wrong. I do love myself.”
As it turns out, the teenager is quite a sensation in his homeland, and has even been invited to a morning talk show on national television in Australia. Moreover, people approach him in the street and ask him for autographs. Some fanatic admirers even looked up his telephone number in the phone book trying to get in touch with him, as some Gold Coast residents with the same surname reported they received phone calls from Kurt's fans at all hours of the day.
Seeing how his popularity has exploded, Kurt now has ambitious plans for the future. He wants to host his own TV show and recently signed on to a regular segment on Australian chat show Studio 10.
