Remember the ‘Charlie Bit My Finger’ video? It was one of the earliest viral sensations on the internet, a short video of a toddler holding his infant brother, who can’t seem to keep his gums to himself. What started off as a joke (the baby biting his finger) turned into a painful ordeal for the big bro — and also turned into to a charming viral video meme well ahead of its time. Well, now the boys from the video are all grown up. A British broadcasting channel decided to follow up with these two whippersnappers, and talk to them about their unintentional internet fame. You might be surprised to learn how popular the video actually was. Who knew that Charlie’s bite could end up being more famous than a Taylor Swift video?
