When Zeddie Little entered the 10-kilometer Cooper Bridge Run, he never thought he would shortly become an internet sensation. Now known across the World Wide Web as the face of the meme "Ridiculously Photogenic Guy," Little was caught smiling into the camera lens of computer programmer Will King. His photo has since become the template for a Photoshop meme that uses captions to establish Little as an archetypal character that represents and exaggerates the power of physical attractiveness.
Most captions on his picture are comprised of two parts, a premise and a conclusion with a slight twist. Examples include, "Runs marathon and wins ... my heart," and "Gets made into a meme... so everyone can keep looking at him."
One of King's friends dubbed Little "Ridiculously Photogenic Guy" after viewing King's photo and within an hour of posting the photo to Flickr, it had reached 300,000 views, according to the Charleston City Paper. Gaining further popularity on Reddit, Mashable which featured Little Photoshopped into a photo with Tina Fey and Facebook, "Ridiculously Photogenic Guy" attracted so much attention that Little and King were both invited for an interview on Good Morning America.
