Don’t Look Down! Man Takes Unbelievably Epic Selfie On Top of Christ the Redeemer Statue

This is incredible!

We felt a bit queasy after seeing this pic! One brave man managed to take what we think is one of the most epic selfie ever in Brazil.

The statue of Christ the Redeemer stands at 98 feet in height on top of the Corcovado Mountain, overlooking Rio de Janeiro with arms outstretched, and one lucky guy managed to make it to the top.

Lee Thompson, founder of the Flash Pack was given rare access inside the statue and became the first person ever to take a selfie from the very top.

“As far as selfies go, I can’t compete with popes, presidents, and radical Russians, because as a photographer my job is to take the shots, not star in them” he said.

“But when the opportunity arose to take the world’s first (and so far only) selfie with Jesus, I couldn’t resist”.
