Actor Dwayne Johnson was titled World Selfie Champion at the world premiere of "San Andreas".
The former wrestling champion attempted the most selfies to be taken in three minutes and smashed the previous attempt to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Speaking before the challenge at the Odeon here at Leicester Square, he said: "I gotta tell you, I consider myself the selfie king and I'm going to break this record in London."
After taking his final snap, he admitted he was in pain from the attempt, but later celebrated his victory with yet another selfie while holding his official certificate.
He said: "My jaw hurts but I hope I've broken the record."
The actor shared the news on Instagram, writing: "We just set a NEW GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for most self portraits (selfies) taken in record time (yup, a selfie world record exists and your arm gets a helluva workout). WORLD PREMIERE of SAN ANDREAS and rewriting the record books all in one night. #MicDropBoom #NewSelfieKing#LONDON #SanAndreasWorldTour MAY 29th. (sic)"
