Jeremy Meeks became an internet sensation overnight when his 2014 mugshot went viral, dubbed the “world’s hottest felon.” Despite his troubled past as a former gang member and drug-addicted family environment, Meeks has reinvented himself in the public eye.
Following a 27-month sentence and release in 2016, he broke into the fashion industry, modeling for designers including Tommy Hilfiger and Philipp Plein. Meeks also pursued acting, featuring in several films, and launched his own clothing brand.
Today at 41, Meeks balances his career with fatherhood, having two sons. He has openly discussed his past struggles and works to inspire others with his tale of redemption and perseverance.
