“It has been months since I last visited my parents’ home. When I first walked in, I thought I’d accidently entered a museum. My dad bought himself a smartphone, took several pictures, printed them out, and hung them all over the house!” Linh posted on Facebook.

The status has since received hundreds of likes and more than a few comments about how handsome her father is (sorry ladies, the 70-year-old is married and even considering including his wife in the next selfie-shoot!).

Linh is currently a student at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities under the Vietnam National University-Hanoi.

When she is not at school, she keeps busy with a part-time job, leaving few opportunities to visit her hometown of Hung Yen, about 60 kilometers southeast of Hanoi.

Linh’s father showed off dozens of selfies on his phone, but the budding photographer still has a long way to go. “100 pictures but only one posture from one angle,” Linh said.

Needless to say, she was shocked when she returned home for the first time in three months and found the walls decorated with countless print-outs of her father’s selfies.

“It cost VND15,000 [US$0.66] to print each picture,” Linh said, adding that her father has a history of letting his inner-child run free.

“He is always telling jokes and acting silly. On some days, he blasts music and dances around the house. He even likes to write poems and recite them for the entire family,” she said.

Linh shared that her teachers used to assume that her father, now 70 years old, was actually her grandfather during school conferences.

But despite his age, her father has always been young at heart.

“My dad is getting older, so long as he gets to do what he wants and eats what he likes, I’m happy,” Linh said.

According to Linh, her father’s hobbies include playing chess, raising the family’s dog, birds, chickens, and cats, and of course, taking selfies!
