Ridiculously Photogenic Guy Becomes Media Sensation for Unknown Reasons

While running the Cooper River Bridge Run in South Carolina, Zeddie “Watkins” Little had a snapshot taken of him by a random bystander.

The man who took the photograph, Will King, said he was trying to photograph some friends that were also competing in the race, but when he saw Watkins approaching he was compelled to photograph him.
