‘Hot Mug Shot Guy’ owned the Internet in 2014. But now he’s been released from prison and is about to start owning the world of modeling.

Jeremy Meeks gave women everywhere a crisis of conscience when the convicted felon went viral for his absolutely, balls-to-the-wall, hot-as-hell mug shot taken at Mendota Federal Correctional Institution in Northern California.

But now Meeks has been released and is keen to capitalise on his newfound stardom.

There were memes. So many memes.

He’s got a manager, Jim Jordan, who said the interest in the reformed convict is off the chain.

“We were bombarded by every news media outlet and production company out there,” Jordan said

“We have huge plans for him. A lot is about to happen. We don’t want to announce it at the moment, but we have some incredible stuff coming that will blow everyone away.”

Offers from the world’s “top five designers” have been apparently pouring in, as have calls from TV producers.

None of this is all by accident, Meeks and Jordan have been working closely since his moment in the sun, with the prisoner reportedly doing 500 sit-ups and 500 push-ups per day in the big house to get his body ready for his release.

The rest, is a gift from a higher power.

“Jeremy has piercing gray-blue eyes, they’re shaped like almonds and he has a beautiful bone structure. He’s 6-feet-1-inches tall, which is the perfect height for a male model and he has an incredible body.” Jordan said.

Meeks was imprisoned on gun and gang-related charges two years ago, but looks like he’ll be putting that life behind him now that he’s a free man.

He told ABC News (US) in 2014:

“I’m not some kingpin…I appreciate (the attention), but I just want them to know that this really is not me”, Meeks said.

His story of born-again redemption is sure to add to his commercial appeal and you probably shouldn’t be surprised if you see a whole lot more of his face very soon.

Don’t get too excited though, the man is happily married.
