A few years in 2015, Dwayne Johnson made a Guinness World Record by taking selfies. He walked down the red carpet to promote his movie San Andreas and made a world record by clicking more than 100 selfies in 3 minutes and making a Guinness World Record.

As per the website of Guinness World Record, “Hollywood superstar Dwayne Johnson has set a new Guinness World Records title for the Most self-portrait photographs (selfies) taken in three minutes, at the world premiere of his new film San Andreas at London’s Odeon Leicester Square. Dwayne captured 105 selfies on the red carpet with excited movie fans.”

The former WWE Champion clicked all the pictures using a smartphone. He clicked the pictures with the fans, who were in the line to be a part of this exciting world record. However, the Jumanji actor had to follow some rules as a participant in this competition.

Guinness World Records adjudicator Mark McKinley ensured they followed selfie rules, with requirements including the full face and neck of participants being viewable and that the images were focused, with recognizable faces and no blurring. They disqualified several pictures as they do not go with the rules, thus making the final count of 105 pictures.
