Jeremy Meeks became an overnight sensation when his mugshot was uploaded to Facebook in 2014. His chiselled feature, pale blue eyes and pillow lips caught the public's attention and he soon gained legions of admirers.
He was then offered a $30,000 modelling contract with Blaze models and revealed he was 'ready' to start his modelling career after being released from prison earlier this year.

"I eat healthy. I do a lot of push-ups, pull-ups, dips, burpees, and I stay very active," he told ABC news.
