Awesome: Watch A 32-Year-Old Man Have A Conversation With His 12-Year-Old Self


From giantfreakinrobot, Ever wished you could go back in time and offer advice to a younger version of yourself? Perhaps to warn you of a future tragedy or upcoming event that will change the course of your life. Or maybe you just want to give yourself tips on dating girls. An American man living in Caen, France did exactly that (but not in the cool traveling through time way).

Jeremiah McDonald is the 32-year-old filmmaker who recently made the above Youtube video. The editing looks pretty seamless and quite conversational although it is a bit eerie to see two versions of the same person from different decades talking to each other.

By adding a comical and casual back-and-forth between the two, McDonald has taken something silly we do as children and has made it into something new and exciting. Taking a look back at what you once were is a scary thing to do, you never know what you’ll find or remember but it’s no shock the same kid that made this video 20 years ago is the same person who made this funny Youtube video today.

That's pretty wild.

Ha! That was great. Real achievement in editing, as it was obvious the 12-year-old video was a lot of 12-year-old goofery. But he still manages that poignant moment, showing his old drawing of his Roger Rabbit clone character. Good stuff.

That was fantastic! "Are all your questions going to be about pets?" This totally takes me back to a time when I wanted to be an astronaut, opera singer, hairdresser, veterinarian, President, dentist, actress . . .
