With his defiant look, Donald Trump’s mugshot is a true classic of the genre and the image of the former president joins that of other celebrities on file with the US authorities.
Trump had avoided the indignity of a mugshot during his three previous arrests this year, but officials in Fulton County, Georgia, followed the procedure they apply to anyone.
The magnate was ordered to turn himself in to authorities in that state, where he faces racketeering charges linked to his efforts to tamper with the results of the 2020 presidential election.
A mugshot often follows celebrities throughout their lives and beyond.
Here are some examples:
— OJ Simpson –
Few cases stole the public imagination like the persecution, capture and trial of American soccer star OJ Simpson for the murder of his ex-wife and a friend of hers.
Simpson’s half smile, captured when the Los Angeles police arrested him in 1994, was on the cover of Time magazine a week later and now graces everything from T-shirts to electric guitars.
— Hugh Grant –
The question “what the hell has possessed me?” it seems eloquent in the hunched shoulders and gaze of actor Hugh Grant, when he was arrested by the Los Angeles police in 1995 for his encounter with a sex worker on the Sunset Strip.
Grant was then on his way to stardom and was dating actress Liz Hurley.
—Tiger Woods –
With a puffy face, dark circles under his eyes and a stubble, golf legend Tiger Woods didn’t look good when he was pulled over in California in 2017 for driving under the influence.
Former number one in the world – and for many the best golfer in history – says that his appearance was the result of powerful painkillers that he had been prescribed.
— Nick Nolte –
When actor Nick Nolte was booked for reckless driving in Malibu in 2002, it looked like he’d been sleeping rough. The greasy hair, vacant stare and general air of sloppiness were a far cry from who he had been 10 years earlier: People magazine’s “Sexiest Man.”
— James Brown –
Soul singer James Brown looked like a savage when he was arrested in South Carolina in 2004 on suspicion of domestic violence.
He looked a little better in the updated photo the Aiken County sheriff released the next day, perhaps after someone had lent him a comb.
— Paris Hilton –
The heiress and reality star has a knowing look in the photo released by Las Vegas police, who arrested her in 2010 for cocaine possession. The ultra-millionaire seems unfazed by the mess she had gotten herself into and which cost her a year of probation and community service.
— Jane Fonda —
Actress and activist Jane Fonda was arrested in 1970 at a protest against the Vietnam War. Her charges against her – assault by her against an officer – were dropped, but the mugshot showing her with her fist raised and her gaze defiant appears on T-shirts and coffee mugs she sells on the website her.
