Ernest Khalimov (born 1 March 1969) popularly known as "GigaChad" is a Russian internet personality, comedian, model, bodybuilder, fitness trainer, and entrepreneur from Moscow. He is of either Turkish or Azerbaijani origin; although it is agreed upon that he is the former.[1]
Life and career[edit]
Personal life[edit]
It was rumored on 26 April 2021 that Khalimov had died in a car crash.[2][3] This rumor spread quickly, but was soon debunked.[2]
Gigachad meme[edit]
The gigachad meme emerged in 2017 in sites such as Discord, 4chan, and Reddit, thanks to an anonymous Reddit user posting a link of an Instagram account named "sleekntears" (which features images solely of Khalimov and Sudmalis) in a bodybuilding subreddit.[4] He was referred to as a model of "idealized hypermasculinity", an "archetype" of masculinity,[3] and was soon nicknamed "Gigachad" as his popularity grew once his meme had become viral.[4]
His appearance has cast doubt on his existence, with some claiming that he was a digital creation of digital artist Krista Sudmalis. However, he has been proven to exist with his Instagram posts. The gigachad emoji[5] is one of the most popular and most used on Discord.
