When I first saw Irvin Randle trending on social media they claimed he was 79 and I was like wow! But when I was ready to publish this post I found out he was rather 54 and suddenly the wow factor reduced just a little bit! Women are already cropping themselves into his photos so his phenomenon is not going away anytime soon lol!!!
The stylish grandfather from Houston, Texas has caused the internet to go into a frenzy after his photos were shared on social media. The elementary school teacher started surfacing on social media with the hashtag ‘MrStealYourGrandma’ amidst images of him sporting a peppered beard in stylish outfits, and some even showed off his fit body.
Randle, who has two grandchildren, quickly garnered internet fame as the photos went viral, and now he says he is managing to cope with all the attention, the AJC reported.
The grandfather had learned about his photos going viral through his friends and family, including his daughter Jessica who lives in Los Angeles, according to the Houston Chronicle.
‘She called and said, “Dad, you’re trending on Twitter.” I told her I’m not on Twitter, and I don’t know what trending means,’ Randle told the Chronicle.
He said he also received a call from a friend in Nigeria who told him his photos had garnered seven million likes there.
‘I was amazed at first. Now, I’m overwhelmed. I appreciate all the great comments,’ he told the Chronicle.
‘I’ve always dressed like this. I’ve just been wearing things a little tighter that’s all.’
