Tiger King fan and American actor Kevin Bacon says he would jump at the opportunity to play the infamous Joe Exotic in a potential film adaptation.
Bacon expressed his love for the series to NBC, describing: “I said to my wife, ‘This is an amazing show.’ The reason that I’m watching this show is these are the kind of characters I get asked to play.”
He also praised the documentary form: “To me, documentaries are way better…This is my type of guy, you know, so fingers crossed.”
There has already been some talk regarding a film adaptation. Rumour has it that Orlando Bloom may play Exotic in a 20th century Fox production. Bloom has also recently posted a photo of his face photo-shopped onto Exotic’s body on his Instagram, fuelling the rumours.
