The Rise of William Franklin-Miller
William Franklin-Miller, a young Australian boy, gained overnight internet fame after a Japanese schoolgirl posted his photograph on Twitter, dubbing him the "most beautiful boy" on Instagram. Although only 12 years old now, William is a typical boy in many ways. He attends school, plays rugby, and hangs out with his friends. However, this Australian boy has already amassed 166 thousand followers on Instagram as of August 2016.
An Unexpected Internet Sensation
The Melbourne schoolboy became an internet sensation thanks to a Japanese schoolgirl who decided to share his picture on Twitter. The photograph quickly garnered thousands of retweets and soon helped Franklin-Miller gather an army of fans on both Twitter and Instagram. Initially, William was overwhelmed by the sudden surge of attention. "I was gaining about 100 new followers every three seconds," he said. "There were so many followers that we even thought they were fake." His mother, Shannon, grew concerned, thinking that her son's account had been hacked. The situation became clear when the followers commented that they had discovered the "most beautiful boy in the world" through the Twitter photo. Franklin-Miller exclaimed, "People were telling me that I'm already a celebrity in Japan and that they're talking about me in China. All of this in just a couple of days."
A Promising Modeling Career
The popularity of her son also worked in favor of his mother, Shannon, who is a model and actress. Users on the internet also wanted to know more about her. In fact, William was spotted by a modeling agent in Covent Garden five years ago. With his model-like appearance, the young boy started his modeling career at the age of eight and has participated in various campaigns. Recently, he appeared in the TV series "Jack Irish," playing the lead character, Jack, in his younger years. The adult version of the character is portrayed by Guy Pearce.
Furthermore, Franklin-Miller has modeled for a Christmas advertisement for the department store Harrods and appeared in a music video for the Australian duo Peking Duck. Gaining popularity on Instagram, William received invitations to three different Asian TV shows, gave interviews via Skype, and was featured in numerous publications. Fans of the "most beautiful boy in the world" shower him with excessively positive comments and request him to visit various countries around the world. However, for now, Franklin-Miller is focused on his education and acting career. He recently auditioned for roles in several American films. In addition to the "Jack Irish" series, fans of this Australian heartthrob can soon see him in the post-production short film, "The Resurgence."
