It took just two months for Richard Hutchins to go from a homeless LA-based artist to a high-profile viral sensation with a secured movie role and a roster of A-list
Hutchins is off of “Skid Row” and currently hosting his own art gallery show/auction at the Sofitel in Beverly Hills after meeting rapper 2 Chainz’s former manager Charlie Rocket. The chance meeting while he was sitting on a shopping cart changed his fate and made him famous.
Meeting in a grocery store parking lot on Easter Sunday, the two hit it off and had a conversation that ultimately worked in Hutchins’ favor.
While speaking with TMZ Live, Rocket recalled how he fell in love with Hutchins’s energy after he jokingly asked to drive his car. The two ended up talking at length, and Hutchins told the industry professional how he used to be a world-renowned artist creating pieces for celebrities such as Muhammad Ali, Richard Pryor, and Marvin Gaye before he fell on hard times.
