      This gets even weirder, though. Since every photo of him seems to have been taken and released by the artist Krista Sudmalis, whose ongoing "Sleek'N'Tears" project is his lone credit — and there he is exclusively referred to as "1969" — it's fair to suspect that GigaChad is almost entirely Sudmalis' digital creation.

      "GigaChad" (also known as "Average Enjoyer") is Russian menswear model and bodybuilder Ernest Khalimov. Aside from the "GigaChad" memes, he isn't very well-known. Even in the "Sleek'N'Tears" project, he was exclusively known as "1969," so it's fair that a lot of people are surprised to hear that he's a real person.
    • 2021 October 19, Jacob Bentley-York, “Who is Ernest Khalimov AKA GigaChad and what is the Chad meme?”, in The US Sun, archived from the original on 2024-01-14:
      This is no more true for Ernest Khalimov - AKA GigaChad - who has garnered so much acclaim for his good looks and chiseled physique that people have even questioned his own existence.
