‘Hot convict’ plans on being model, actor after prison stint

Jeremy Meeks may be behind bars for now, but according to him, his future is looking bright.

Meeks, whose handsome mug shot took the Internet by storm in 2014, has been sentenced to 27 months in federal prison on weapons-related charges.

But Meeks is hoping to get out as early as November 2015, when combining time already served and good behavior, according to a jailhouse interview.

And Meeks has every reason to be on his best behavior. He already has an agent and is set to take advantage of his newfound fame.

Meeks says he wants to try both modeling and acting, saying he would love to be on a show like, “Sons of Anarchy.”

The inmate is doing his part to stay in shape by working out and eating healthy.

When asked about the now-famous mug shot, Meeks said he wasn’t trying to look sexy. Instead, he was thinking about his family, especially his son.
