Dax Shepard Wants to Play Tiger King's Joe Exotic & So Many Celebs Are Reacting!

Dax Shepard is just one of the many actors who wants to play Joe Exotic in a biopic of the Tiger King star!

The 45-year-old actor took to Twitter this week to share his desire to take on the role if a movie or TV series is made one day. (Kate McKinnon is actually already working on one!)

“If I don’t get cast as Joe Exotic in the eventual biopic, Hollywood is broken,” Dax tweeted.

Well, a bunch of celebrities have opinions and while stars like Beth Behrs think he’s perfect for the role, stars like Edward Norton do not agree.

If I don't get cast as Joe Exotic in the eventual biopic, Hollywood is broken.

Um, step aside, pal. You’re way too young and buff and you know it. You could probably pull off Maldonado still, actually. Wouldn’t that be fun?

I already got asked but I’m sure there is a villain role supporting me we could slot you in. #howdareyou

I heard a rumor he has a Jewish twin brother that was cut out of the series.

I for reals thought that several times while watching. Maybe a K Bell cameo as one of Doc Antle’s tiger girls? Bautista as John Finlay? If I were you, I’d start growing a lockdown mullet immediately, dude.
