Actor Nick Cannon has broken the record of taking the maximum number of selfies in an hour.

After receiving tips on how to take the speediest pictures, he blew the competition away. Nick starred alongside dancer Julianne Hough and took a massive 283 consecutive selfies, surpassing the previous record which stood at 279, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I did have some selfie training. My friends at Samsung showed me the best way," said the comedian.

The attempt was part of Samsung's new campaign #DITCHtheDSLR. As a result of their efforts, $50,000 has been donated by Samsung to Humanity of Greater Los Angeles.
