Well, social media has done it again- it has catapulted an ordinary person to a worldwide idol of fame in a matter of days. Zeddie Watkins Little, or “Watkins,” who this week was dubbed “Ridiculously Photogenic Guy” is now one of the hottest icons in the world.
The story begins with photographer Will King, who attended the 10K race in Charleston, S.C. where King’s friends were participating. King previously had no relations to Watkins until he snapped his picture while looking for his friends.

"I noticed he looked really good in that picture," photographer Will King said. "Overall, it didn't look that good except for this one guy, so I tossed it out there to see what people think."
King then posted the photo to Reddit and was spread by users to Facebook, Twitter blogs and meme creators. Watkins and King have now begun being interviewed on national television talk shows like “Good Morning, America.”
This is yet again another story of how social media can change peoples’ lives.
