Instagram
Jeremy Meeks' first modeling headshot is just as hot as the mugshot that made him an Internet star two years ago.
The piercing blue eyes and razor-sharp cheekbones remain, but the former felon has swapped his prison clothes for a Golden State Warriors cap.
Meeks, 32, who became known across America as "The Hot Mugshot Guy," became famous in June of 2014 after he was arrested on gun and gang-related charges.
When his mugshot was posted on the Stockton, California, police department's website, women (and men) swooned, and Meeks became an overnight global obsession.

"We were bombarded by every news media outlet and production company out there," Jordan told TheWrap in March, adding that Meeks has been getting ready for his close up, doing 500 sit-ups and 500 push-ups in his cell every day.
Meeks shared his first official modeling photo (above) on Instagram Monday ahead of the NBA Finals game between the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, along with the caption: "#warriors #dubnation #hometeam."
On Tuesday, the married father-of-three proved that even incarnation hadn't killed his sense of humor, with a just-as-hot shirtless photo in his kitchen captioned: "Count down #housearrest #bayarea."
