Do you remember Jeremy Meeks? The 30-year-old criminal turned model, from California, rose to fame in 2014 after his mugshot went viral.

His effortless 'Blue Steel' shot spread like wildfire after it was released by Stockton Police, and it wasn't long before he was snapped up by a modelling agency.

Now he's been sharing snaps on his Instagram page (which has 612k followers) which seem to show just how much his life has turned around. He poses in front of a mansion and £120,000 Maserati with the caption 'Good to be home'.

In another picture of the same home, he captions it 'God is good'. Man, his house is niiiiice.

The Mirror reports that he's now making millions off the back of his modelling career.

Meeks was arrested for possessing a gun and was jailed for 27 months in February 2015 after admitting the charge.

Last year, Jim Jordan from White Cross Management, the agency that signed him, told Newsbeat that "everybody deserves a second chance."

He said: "When I first saw Jeremy's picture, the first thing that came to my mind was, 'I needed to help this guy'.

"After speaking with his wife and meeting his family, I got a real sense of who Jeremy was as a husband and father, not to mention how beautiful he is inside and out.

"We are looking forward to Jeremy's future. I do not think it will affect Jeremy's career due to the overwhelming response he has received from clients and fans around the world."

Just goes to show that you can do anything as long as you're a looker. Great.
