Zeddie Little knew how Reddit worked, and liked memes.
He just never thought he would become one.
Little, more commonly known of late as Ridiculously Photogenic Guy, found out four hours after he became a viral sensation that everyone suddenly knew his face.
In response to Redditors who asked for a Q-and-A session, Little held a Monday evening Reddit iAmA, discussing his life outside of running and being really-really-really-ridiculously-good-looking.
Here's a look at some snippets of the conversation.
Responses from Little are tabbed:
IAmA Zeddie Little, "Ridiculously Photogenic Guy"
Polite_Canadian_Girl: How did you first react when you found out your picture went viral? How has it affected your life?
I got a call from Redditor friends about 4 hours after the image was initially posted on the internet. They were saying I was number one on Reddit, and gave no explanation, so I assumed whatever it was was really bad, but I was racking my brain as to what it could have been.
When I finally saw the photo I laughed for about an hour. It was just surreal. It's still surreal.
powermad47: What has been your friend's/family's reaction to all this? Did you know of memes before you became an internet sensation?
They love it. My dad was so proud he would have given away my complete biography, complete with SSN to a journalist until I had to ask him to dial it back a little bit, haha.
Yeah, I've always found memes funny, but never, ever though I'd BECOME one. Bizarre.
AwkwardLurkerComment: Did you know what Reddit was before all of this? If not, who was it that broke the news to you of your internet fame?
I knew of Reddit and sort of how it worked, but nowhere near this directly.
omplatt: What do you do in real life? (job/hobbies/etc) Also, you're pretty.
I bartend at a restaurant in NYC and I manage web content and PR material for a pretty rad music venue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Hobbies: I like running, listening to too much music, and am really into the NYC food scene — I cooked for about six years and a little here in the City, and I just can't shake the bug i have for cooking/eating/learning about food and gastronomy.
greywarden: What's your favorite meme of yourself?
It got to a point where it felt weird looking at a billion pics of myself, so I might have missed out on any recent ones within the past week or so.
There are a ton of great ones. Off the top of my head, I like the "Record Milk Sales" one, the creepy Wolverine one and definitely the RPG photoshopped into the North By Northwest airplane scene.
NanoGeek: Has anyone recognized you as RPG?
Starting this past Friday, the 13th, people have really started noticing me. It's still a new experience – people knowing you from a random picture. It's all been in good fun, which is cool.
I went running throughout the City last night and a couple people yelled at me throughout my run.
sirsasana: What is your hair-care regimen?
Oh man, I kinda saw this one coming, haha. Just shampoo, maybe conditioner, no particular brand or whatever. It's really thin so I just use wax/pomade from Keihl's. And once in a while go to a cool barber called Freeman's.
Feltron: Do you own "Ridiculously Photogenic Dog"?
I don't own "the" photogenic dog, but I do own a good looking pup, seen here: https://twitter.com/#!/watkins_little/status/191224916559921155/photo/1
Her name is Jamma, she's about 3, and was a rescue at about 5 days old. I think she's a golden-chow mix. Best dog I could ever imagine.
What would you ask Ridiculously Photogenic Guy?
