The 'Ridiculously Photogenic Guy' (RPG) meme features an image of Zeddie Little, a man jogging in the 2012 Cooper River Bridge Run, smiling pleasantly towards the camera. This image captures him in mid-stride, sporting a race bib and runner's gear, looking unusually photogenic compared to the typical exertion often seen in race participants.
The origin of the 'Ridiculously Photogenic Guy' meme dates back to March 31st, 2012, during the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston, South Carolina. A computer programmer named Will King captured images of the event, including a standout photo of Zeddie Little. After uploading nearly 100 photos from the run to Flickr and Facebook, one of King's friends nicknamed Little 'Ridiculously Photogenic Guy.' This photo was then shared on Reddit's /r/pics subreddit by King on April 3rd, 2012, with the title 'My friend calls him 'Mr Ridiculously Photogenic Guy,'' where it quickly went viral, amassing over 40,000 upvotes.[1]
