Jeremy Meeks (39) quickly became a face “everyone” knew, when a mugshot of him went viral in 2014.
The reason why the picture went viral on the internet was that several people described him as “the world’s hottest criminal”.

Meeks was arrested in California on suspicion of, among other things, robberies and shootings in Stockton, California. The arrest, on the other hand, was to be an accident for the 39-year-old.

Killed family friend
After the viral mugshot, the job opportunities came on a conveyor belt. according to The Express he was signed with some of the world’s biggest modeling agencies – and later this year he is publishing a book.
The book will probably describe a rich and sometimes sad life. In the YouTube series “What’s Your Water”, Meeks was interviewed about his tough childhood.

There he could tell that his parents abused heroin, and that this led to him being born with a heroin addiction, he claims.
– I was a heroin baby, he said in the interview, reproduced by Daily Mail.

Furthermore, he described his childhood as “very, very dark”. When Meeks was still just a baby, his father Raymond Meeks was convicted of murder.
– My father committed a murder when I was nine months old, and he killed my mother’s best friend.

In addition to murder, the father has been convicted of the rape and kidnapping of another woman. Like the father, the mother has also been in prison several times. It was Meek’s older sister Leanna who raised him.

The tough childhood led Meeks into criminal circles, and in 2014 he was famously arrested for robberies and shootings. The 39-year-old’s mugshot quickly found its way onto the internet.
This led to Meeks receiving around 300 letters a day, and he was quickly contacted by several people in the modeling industry.

In 2016, he was released earlier from prison, and the road was short from the prison cell to Hollywood, where he got modeling assignments and film roles.
TMZ can report that Meeks has left the criminal life behind today, and has landed several future film roles.
