Where is the 'Hot Felon' now? How Jeremy Meeks turned his life around after THAT viral mug shot as he retreats from the public eye after ruling the runways at Fashion Week


The sudden fame that came following the viral mugshot changed Jeremy's life, as he went on to secure a modelling contract and star in multiple films.

The June 2014 jail visit that changed his life saw him and three others in a multi-agency law enforcement mission dubbed Operation Ceasefire, where he was listed as a 'convicted felon, arrested for felony weapon charges'. However, the sudden fame that came following the viral mugshot changed Jeremy's life, as he went on to secure a modelling contract and star in multiple films after his release from Mendota Federal Correctional Institution. The synopsis for his book reads: 'In his harrowing autobiography, Jeremy tells his personal story about his battles with gang violence, poverty, race and the inevitable life-changing moments that turned his world around'.
