IT WAS ONLY a matter of time really.
Jeremy Meeks, the felon whose mugshot went viral last month after a California police department put it on Facebook, has been offered a modelling contract.
After his prison picture was posted online, it wasn’t long before he was photoshopped into a number of high end ad campaigns.
TMZ reports that Meeks has been offered a $30,000 contract by Blaze Modelz in Los Angeles.
The father-of-one has to get out of prison first though. He’s still being held after being arrested as part of an initiative to curb gun violence in the northern Californian city of Stockton.
His mother has launched a campaign to have him freed, saying that he has left that part of his life behind him and that he’s being stereotyped due to old tattoos.
Meeks has also landed himself an agent, according to Buzzfeed.
