“Tiger King” is the latest true crime docuseries to captivate the public — and celebs are no exception. The Netflix series, which follows the wild story of incarcerated former zoo-owner Joseph Maldonado-Passage, a k a “Joe Exotic,” and involves everything from polygamy to murder to mullets to wild animals, has given the world the perfect ridiculous distraction amidst a pandemic.
From Kim Kardashian to Jared Leto, some stars are mere fans. Others want in on the action when the inevitable big-screen adaptation comes to fruition.
Dax Shepard — a k a Mr. Kristen Bell — has already expressed his interest in playing Joe. “If I don’t get cast as Joe Exotic in the eventual biopic, Hollywood is broken,” the “Idiocracy” actor tweeted.
