The sexy mugshot guy is taken. Sorry, ladies with questionable taste in men.
Jeremy Meeks, sporting a not-so-sexy orange jumpsuit, spoke about his viral fame with ABC News. The alleged gang member, who became the Internet's most popular jailbird on Friday after his mugshot collected more than 70,000 Likes on the Facebook Page for the police department in Stockton, California, told a hard-hitting reporter that his wife informed him about his newfound online popularity. He was arrested on Tuesday on five weapons charges and one gang charge.

"I just want them to know, that this is really not me," Meeks said via phone while in jail. "I'm not some kingpin."

A $1 million bail? There's nothing sexy about that.
