Two years ago this month, a mugshot posted on the Stockton, California Police Department's Facebook page made everyone on the internet collectively bite their lower lip. The photo was of Jeremy Meeks, a 32-year-old who was convicted of possessing an illegal firearm. He's since been given the moniker "hot felon," and is set to launch a career in modeling.
Shortly after being released from prison in March, Meeks signed on as a model with White Cross Management. Now, the talent management agency is looking to get the once-incarcerated dreamboat onto billboards across the world.
On Tuesday, Meeks shared his first two professional modeling photos on his Instagram account. The first is a headshot that shows him wearing a Golden State Warriors baseball hat while staring deep into the camera with his angelic baby blue eyes. The second shows him shirtless (yes) while washing his hands in a sink (he must've gotten so, so dirty).
We wish Meeks' the best of luck in his modeling career (with his abs and cheek bones, he doesn't really need it, though).
