'Charlie Bit Me' Boys Are All Grown Up
Well, maybe not all grown–but eight years makes quite a difference.
On this the tenth anniversary of the first ever YouTube video, another milestone for the groundbreaking video-sharing service also approaches. Next month will mark eight years since two British boys originally broke the Internet.
“Charlie Bit My Finger – Again” is the most-viewed non-music video of all time on YouTube. If you recently awoke from a coma, it features an adorable British baby repeatedly biting his toddler brother, Harry, whose half-pained, half-amused reaction (and decision to keep putting his finger in Charlie’s mouth) has been watched more than 816 million times.
Here’s a BBC interview with the boys eight years later, where they discuss how it feels to be possibly the biggest YouTube stars ever.
