Famous mug shots: Trump joins O.J., Jane Fonda, MLK, Bill Gates

Publish date: 2024-09-02

A lot of famous people have mug shots, but model and actor Jeremy Meeks may be the first person to become famous because of his mug shot. Meeks was arrested in 2014 on a felony weapons charge, and when his booking photo hit the internet, millions of people noticed he was, uh, rather attractive — if, you know, baby blues, chiseled jaw, perfectly proportioned nose and pillowy lips are your kind of thing.

When Meeks was released from a California correctional institution in 2016, he had a modeling contract. Seven years later, he is a wildly successful model, has acted in BET movies, has his own fashion line in Germany and has a child with his billionaire heiress ex-girlfriend. He is also active in charity work benefiting foster children and kids in juvenile detention. “I’m so GRATEFUL,” he recently wrote on Instagram. “It’s hard to believe how much my life has changed.”
