Jeremy Meeks, who was popularly known as ‘hot felon’ when his mugshot went viral in 2014, has clearly traded up after making his debut on the New York Fashion Week catwalk.
He was handed a 27-month jail term in 2015 after being charged with illegally possessing firearms and ammo, carrying a loaded firearm in public and criminal street gang activity.
But as they say, every disappointment is a blessing. Two years behind bars did little to dim Meeks’ mugshot fame.

He was quickly snapped up and signed with talent agency White Cross Management before he was even jailed as millions swooned over his good looks.
The felon-turned-model put his piercing blue eyes and chiseled cheekbones that shot him to fame on display as he modelled in front of a star studded front row including the likes of Kylie Jenner, Paris Hilton and Madonna.
Meeks, who is married with three children (sorry ladies), was released from prison in March 2016.
He started sharing modelling shots on his Instagram back in June before lying low just after Christmas.
