‘Hot Mug Shot Guy’ Jeremy Meeks Leaves Prison, Starts Modeling Career


Meeks became famous in June of 2014 after he was arrested on gun and gang-related charges. When his mugshot was posted on the Stockton, California, police department’s website, women (and men) swooned, and Meeks became an overnight global obsession.
According to Jordan, a modeling agent at White Cross Management in Los Angeles, his phone has been ringing off the hook with offers from the world’s “top five designers,” as well as TV producers, though he declined to say which ones.
“We were bombarded by every news media outlet and production company out there,” Jordan said, adding that Meeks has been getting ready for his close up, doing 500 sit-ups and 500 push-ups in his cell every day.

It did for Danny Trejo. He worked first as a stuntman, and now as a much respected character actor.
