THERE are currently no plans on a sequel for critically-acclaimed film 'Boyhood' – but a British teen has spent the past seven years making one.
Hugo Cornellier, now 19, had to take over 2,550 selfies to document each and every day since he was 12-years-old.
The fast-paced time-lapse shows flashes of various hairstyles, hints of past loves, and changes in his phones and home as it speeds through a little under half Hugo's time on Earth.
Almost two million people have now watched the 90second viral clip that fast-forwards through SEVEN years of the British teen's life.
The teen said: "It's absolutely incredible seeing how much I've changed over the last seven years.
"With the time-lapse it looks as if you are watching my hair grow on a daily basis.
"When I started taking the selfies I always intended to make the video".
Hugo, who is originally from London, now lives in Montreal, Canada, and took the now-famous photos on his laptop every day, in several locations including his family home, car and lately, his college dormitory.
The 19-year-old was inspired to start his selfie-evolution film after watching a similar video in 2006.
His video now has over 1.9million views on Youtube. He admitted: "The reaction the video has got is surreal.
"I cannot believe how many have watched it.
"It's shocking - especially considering how it's still ongoing".
As the teenager ages and grows in front of the viewers eyes, the comments on the Youtube video hint at the online reaction to the British teenager's time-consuming video project.
Nell Moloney focuses primarily on the time-lapsing teen's fashion choices, posting: "He wore the same top alot".
Eadgar Lopez complimented the selfie video calling it "impressive" and encouraging the Hugo to "keep the work".
Finally, one internet commentator offers some potential career advice for the stop-motion teen complimenting him on his "amazing poker face" – explaining how impressed he was by Hugo's ability to maintain "the same exact expression in every pic. For seven years".
