This Ireland fan couldn’t believe his luck when he was out walking near Canary Wharf in London and he spotted Paul O’Connell on the morning of the Italy game.

Adam was quick to ask the great man to get into a photo with him, and realised all too late that his girlfriend had messed with the settings on the device.

Cue the Android phone’s ‘Beauty Face.’

“The front facing camera hasn’t got much use on my phone except for my selfie obsessed other-half who had turned on “Beauty Face,” Adam explains.

“Samsung describes Beauty Face as follows: ‘The Beauty face photo shooting mode captures a portrait and automatically enhances facial features. To turn on Beauty face, with the Camera application open, touch and then touch the Beauty face thumbnail. This mode automatically hides subtle facial imperfections.’

“I was genuinely embarrassed and, panicking, I tried to turn it off but not before Paul O’Connell asks me, “What is “Beauty Face”? Well Paul.. here is the result…”

Selfie

Anyone else reckon it takes years off Paulie? We expected much worse.
