Benjamin Lasnier

Last Easter, a 12-year-old Dane named Benjamin Lasnier was sitting in a restaurant when his cousin convinced him to join Instagram. He followed 10 friends and posted a self-portrait. Half an hour later, it had more than 50 "likes".
Lasnier, a confident kid who some say resembles his idol Justin Bieber, sensed he had a certain currency on the site. He continued to post pictures – more than 2,100 so far, almost exclusively "selfies" – and people continued to like them.
With more than 762,000 followers, the now 13-year-old from Copenhagen is one of the world's most "Instagram famous" people, with a follower count dwarfing those of many celebrities (Jessie J, for example, has 367,000). To hardcore fans – who identify as "Benzilers", a clunky adaptation of Justin's "Beliebers" – he has the stature of an idol. "You are so beautiful! Not just on the outside, but the inside!" reads one 11-year-old's comment.
