The American lawbreaker who became a viral internet sensation as the hot convict because of his visually arresting mugshot wont get a chance to show England hes become a model citizen.

Jeremy Meeks, 33, now a fashion model who had traveled to London for a photo shoot, was deported Monday night from Heathrow Airport because of his previous criminal record, according to the Daily Mail.

Ive been denied, Meeks said as he walked through the airport, according to Inside Edition. London dont want me here. I done served my time. S*** is crazy. Dont make no sense.

Meeks, became known as the hot convict in June 2014 after the Stockton Police Department in California arrested him on weapons and gang charges, and his mugshot went viral. He spent two years behind bars, and was freed in March 2016.

The hot con has been working as a fashion model since February. But he never got beyond the airport for his London assignment.

Meeks manager, Joe Jordan, said his clients paperwork to enter the U.K. was in order. Meeks also had a letter from his parole officer giving him permission to travel, according to the New York Daily News.

None of that held any sway with U.K. immigration officials, who escorted him onto a plane eight hours after he landed in London.

Jordan told the Daily Mail he hopes Meeks visa problem is temporary.

He was on the right track for what we feel was going to be his new life. Now hes very sad, Jordan said. Hopefully this is just a setback and he will be able to come back from this.
