Celebrity selfie videos are going insanely viral on Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok. These clips look like you’re casually walking on a film set, taking selfies with famous celebrities—while everything feels cinematic, realistic, and exciting.
The best part? You don’t need to meet any celebrity in real life.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how to create that viral celebrity selfie video using AI, from image generation to final video export, in a simple step-by-step format.
Step 1: Create Your Celebrity List
Start by deciding which celebrities you want to appear with in your video.
This step is important because:
- Each celebrity will need a separate image
- The flow of your video depends on the sequence
You can include:
- Bollywood actors
- Hollywood stars
- Sports personalities
- Influencers or musicians
Tip: For best results, keep 2–4 celebrities per video. This keeps the video short, engaging, and loop-friendly.
Step 2: Generate Celebrity Selfie Images Using AI
Now it’s time to create realistic selfie images that look like they were taken on a professional film set.
You’ll use Nano Banana Pro for image generation.
Prompt Template (You Can Tweak This)
Paste the following prompt and customize the celebrity name and location:
Create a realistic, high-fidelity (8K) image based on the attached reference photo.
Maintain the exact facial features, skin tone, bone structure, hairstyle, and expression of the attached person, with no alteration or face swapping.
The attached person is taking a selfie with [Celebrity], standing at [Set/Location].
Crew members are adjusting internal lighting and equipment, with cables and gear visible.
Directors and managers are standing behind, discussing the next take.
Important points to remember:
- Always upload your own reference photo
- Replace
[Celebrity]with the actual celebrity name - Change
[Set/Location]for variation (film set, studio, outdoor shoot, etc.)
How Many Images to Generate?
- Generate at least 2 different images
- These will be used as the start frame and end frame for your video
Step 3: Convert Images Into a Video Using Kling AI
Once your images are ready, it’s time to bring them to life.
Tool to Use
- Model: Kling 2.5
- Website: https://higgsfield.ai/create/video
What to Do
- Go to Video section
- Select Kling 2.5 Model
- Upload:
- First image as the start frame
- Second image as the end frame
Step 4: Add the Video Motion Prompt
Now paste this prompt to generate realistic movement:
POV: The guy takes a selfie and walks to the next set with a smile,
in excitement while vlogging while he holds the camera which is locked on his face,
and takes a selfie again. Crew working on set in the background. No talking.
This prompt ensures:
- Natural walking motion
- Selfie-style camera lock
- Behind-the-scenes film set vibe
- No awkward lip movement (important for realism)
Generate the clip and wait for the output.
Step 5: Repeat for Other Celebrities
If you’re using multiple celebrities:
- Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 for each one
- Generate separate short clips for each celebrity
This gives you flexibility while editing.
Step 6: Edit and Export the Final Video
Once all clips are ready:
- Import them into your preferred editing software
- CapCut
- Premiere Pro
- VN
- DaVinci Resolve
- Arrange clips in sequence
- Add:
- Light background music
- Film-style color grading (optional)
- Export as:
- One continuous viral video
- Or individual clips for reels and shorts
Pro Tips to Make It Go Viral
