Early Life
Ernest Khalimov, a well-known figure in Russia, has gained recognition for his impressive physical appearance as a fitness model, bodybuilder, and business owner. His fame skyrocketed in 2017 when his memes circulated widely, causing speculation about his authenticity.
According to various accounts, Ernest’s place of birth was Moscow, Russia on March 1, 1969. However, little information is available about his early life, such as his educational background and number of siblings.
After making a name for himself in the modeling industry, the Russian bodybuilder gained widespread attention when his impressive photographs were heavily criticized on various social media platforms.
In 2017, the first photo of him appeared, but his bold career in modeling began in 2015, thanks to Russian photographer Krista Sudmalis.
Sudmalis had been capturing images of male bodybuilders and female models for her project, Sleek’N’Tears. Her photographs focused on the physical attributes of the models, and Ernest’s pictures were particularly striking.
Who is Giga Chad?
Ernest, also known by his nickname Chad, has a clear origin. Chad is a colloquial term used to describe a good-looking and self-assured man. When the model’s photos first appeared on the internet, showcasing these qualities of hyper-masculinity and flawless appearance, the moniker became attached to him.
Online users often called him GigaChad, the epitome of masculinity. What makes him even more intriguing is the absence of any videos featuring him. Although the Sleek’N’Tears YouTube video showcases various models, Ernest is not among them. As a result, he remains a mystery to many individuals.
Rumors were circulating that Krista had digitally altered images of her boyfriend, Artur Farad, to make him resemble GigaChad. Krista is responsible for taking and sharing GigaChad’s photos, leading some to believe that he may be a figment of her imagination. As Ernest does not have a presence on social media, it is difficult to confirm his existence.
Where is Ernest Khalimov now?
Ernest Khalimov‘s fans have been concerned about his location. Besides the limited photos on his Instagram page, there is no other information available about him, including online videos. Therefore, when reports emerged about Ernest Khalimov’s involvement in a car accident, his supporters became anxious.
According to a meme that gained popularity on Discord, Ernest may have been in an accident. This news spread quickly, much like his stunning images. However, due to his reserved personality, there was no official confirmation of the accident or his passing.
However, the news was false and the Russian model and bodybuilder is perfectly well. Ernest Khalimov posted a message expressing gratitude to fans for not reacting negatively via his Instagram. He also mentioned that he is not a very social person.
Hello, I have read all the comments and messages. Think so. I must admit I’m shocked that there are so many of you and that you are not negative. Sorry for not answering. I’m not very sociable (T.rex), but I was pleased to read. In any case, I have nothing to say to you, probably because I look much more interesting from your words.
