STEPHEN Baldwin may have been arrested for failing to file tax returns, but more importantly, he "blue steeled the s--t" out of his mugshot."

The image has gone viral after the actor sported a Zoolander-looking pout while posing for his close-up.

"Max Derek Zoolander should REALLY sue Stephen Baldwin," Twitter user Max said referring to the Ben Stiller character, "You can't steal "Magnum", use it in your mugshot, and then expect to get away with it."

Gawker called the snap "ridiculously good-looking," while Perez Hilton dubbed it the "best mug shot ever" and suggested he was "looking awfully smoldering for a man who could face four years in prison!"

The actor landed himself in trouble after failing to file returns for the years 2008, 2009, and 2010, reports TMZ.

Baldwin reportedly owes the New York state more than $350,000 in back taxes.

The D.A told the website: “At a time when Rockland County and New York State face severe fiscal shortfalls, we cannot afford to allow wealthy residents to break the law by cheating on their taxes.”

Baldwin reportedly faces up to four years jail if he doesn't pay up.
