Joe Exotic has A-list aspirations when it comes to casting who'll play him in a Tiger King movie.
"He would like Brad Pitt or David Spade to play him," Chaiklin said. But Chaiklin added a fun fact: Exotic doesn't actually know David Spade's name, saying, "He doesn’t refer to David Spade as David Spade — he refers to him as 'Joe Dirt.'"
The co-director also talked about the massive appeal of the show, saying that it was a perfect storm of quarantine, Exotic's charisma, and the allure of the unknown. He added that he's happy to have given viewers a distraction from the harsh realities of the coronavirus pandemic."I think that it’s a very uncertain time and people want an escape, and this is a world that very few people knew existed, inhabited by some very colorful, charismatic characters," he said.
