Jeremy Meeks recalls learning his mugshot went viral in 2014 while in prison, as fans flooded him with letters and even visits; the notoriety brought federal charges and a tense period of scrutiny, but a Black judge’s lenient sentencing and the opportunities that followed helped him turn his life around, leading to modeling work, an autobiography, and a family with Chloe Green.
Jeremy Meeks, the 2014 “Hot Felon,” says obsessed fans flooded his prison mail and crowded his limited two weekly visitation slots, sending naked photos and money that kept his family from visiting. After his release he turned to modeling, but the fan frenzy persisted—some even traveling across the country—so he urged supporters to write letters instead to keep visits for his five-year-old son.
Former "hot felon" Jeremy Meeks talks about his new career in Hollywood, including his work in movies and TV shows, and his mentor Ptosha Storey's guidance in the craft of acting. Meeks reveals that he has to go to dark places to get into character, but is grateful for Storey's support and wisdom. There is no update on the biopic series he has been wanting to make.
Jeremy Meeks, the actor and model who first became famous as the "hot felon," has written an autobiography called "Model Citizen" and is excited about its upcoming release.

Meeks' mug shot went viral in 2014, sparking a modeling career that blossomed into acting gigs and led to him dating and having a child with Topshop heiress Chloe Green.
