The granpa is Irvin Randle, a native Houstonian and elementary school teacher for the Houston Independent School District. Randle says one day life was normal; the next, his selfies were being shared all over the web. On the internet, he's known for his stylish pictures, which earned him the title #MrStealYourGrandma.

"I don't feel 54. I don't feel it at all," said Randle, "I start logging into Facebook and start seeing it and I was like, ‘Wow, wow!’"

Randal became a mini-celebrity after his selfies picked up by a celebrity website and posted with the hashtag. His pictures went viral online after that.

"I've always had this type of ability for fashion and when I was younger, I'd look in the GQ Magazine and say, ‘I want to dress like that," Randle said. Riding on the back of his instant fame, Randal now vows to create his Twitter account also, provided somebody shows him how to set it up. Any takers?
