In a matter of weeks, Richard Hutchins went from homeless to hosting his own art gallery show in Beverly Hills, and now he has already got a Hollywood acting offer for a role as an artist.

Richard spent years living on the streets in Los Angeles after his art studio burned down.

On Easter Sunday, he bumped into 2 Chainz’ former manager Charlie Rocket at a grocery store in Los Angeles when things turned around completely.

Charlie discovered Richard is an uber-talented artist, who in his heyday, had been commissioned to do work for Muhammad Ali, Richard Pryor and Marvin Gaye, among others.

Richard had been down on his luck for years but fasted forward to last week when he was lauded as he strolled into his own gallery featuring his work at the Sofitel. Around 500 people attended the shindig, including Damon Dash.

After Charlie got to know Richard and his artistic skill, he helped set up Richard's art website to sell prints.

According to Richard, he's hauled in more than R2.6 million through the website.

"In fact, 2 Chainz was one of the first customers, and Steve Harvey also bought a painting for a cool R39 000, he said."

Richard says he's already got an acting offer for a role as an artist, and he is willing to give back now that he has the resources.
