The 24-year-old carpenter, who hails from Sydney, has made a killer splash in the world of social media all thanks to a phenomenal selfie.
Will recently managed to capture the incredible moment he was photobombed by a humpback whale during a snorkeling adventure in Tonga.
In the pic, Will beams at the camera as his majestic pal makes a splash in the background.
“#selfie game on point. Having a #whale of a time in #Tonga. #humpbackwhale,” he captioned the inspiring image.

If snapping selfies with the ocean’s most fascinating mammals wasn’t enough, over the past 18 months Will has been enjoying the tip of a lifetime as he travels around the South Pacific on a yacht.
But it was his time in Tonga which made him an online sensation.
The man, who is secretly living our ultimate travel dream, chatted to Newscorp about the once-in-a-lifetime photo.
“I joined them two months ago in French Polynesia and have been sailing around the Cook Islands, Samoa and now Tonga,” he explained.
“As soon as we sailed into the passage in Vava’u in Tonga we were surrounded by humpbacks. I had been learning to free dive and jumped in when we thought it was safe.”
He continued, saying that him and the crew on the boat spent “all day with almost a dozen whales, including a docile mother and her very playful calf.”
“The whale in the selfie photo was the most curious and played with us for 30 minutes. Splashing us with water. Staring me in the eye before it picked me out of the water with its tail.”
“It was like a playful dog showing off dance moves. I had no idea I had a good photo until the night when I looked through all the photos and videos.”
Here’s Will swimming with a shark. Because why not?
The story gets ever sweeter…
“At one point it literally picked me up out of the water with its tail. It was really up to how close it wanted to get and sometimes it got within touching distance.”
“It really put on a show for us and it was like it was dancing and playing with us.”
