GettyBeliebers are losing their collective shit over a member of Justin Bieber’s security team at a festival in the Netherlands.
18-year-old Boy Roeles became a viral sensation after a photo of him helping keep Justin Bieber safe from his rabid fans at Pinkpop hit the web.
Roeles’ photo was eventually picked up by an Instagram account dedicated to jawlines, because why not, and he became the latest fleeting star in a list of ‘viral megastars’ who’ll be forgotten in a week.
Anyway here’s what he looks like…
Handsome right? People online certainly thought so…

Speaking to Buzzfeed News Roeles explained his befuddlement at becoming a viral hit.
He said:
I laughed a lot and I showed it to my colleagues.
I found it very funny to see it reached so many people. I still can’t believe that I’m really the dude in the photo.
Enjoy your fame while it lasts Roeles!
More of a concept than a journalist, Tom Percival was forged in the bowels of Salford University from which he emerged grasping a Masters in journalism.
Since then his rise has been described by himself as ‘meteoric’ rising to the esteemed rank of Social Editor at UNILAD as well as working at the BBC, Manchester Evening News, and ITV.
He credits his success to three core techniques, name repetition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake.
