Josett Latrice considering modelling career after LeBron James likes her bootylicious Instagram picture

A SIMPLE ‘like' on an Instagram post by LeBron James has rocketed a young woman to inteet notoriety — and got her seriously considering a modelling career.

Veterinary student Josett Latrice posted a bootylicious picture of herself in yoga pants and high-heeled platform boots two months ago, prompting an appreciative round of likes and comments on her Instagram page.

But when the Cleveland Cavaliers goalscorer interrupted a self-imposed social media ban on the weekend to like the post on the @perfectbooties Instagram account, it took her profile to a whole new level, with other web-users dropping by to register their appreciation for the sexy shot.

More than 17,000 people have now liked the image, with some commenting that they clicked because LeBron did.

Now, Latrice has revealed that the thumbs-up from the basketball legend has got her considering a career in modelling.

The like was 'a gift from God' she told TMZ Hollywood Sports.

'It makes me feel awesome,' she said. 'I love the fact he liked my picture.'

She later told Mail Online that she intended to share her fashion shots — many of which are featured on her personal Instagram account — with modelling agencies.
