If a scripted TV show or movie based on Tiger King were to be made, the titular big cat oddball himself apparently knows who should play him. According to the Netflix series' directors, Joe Allen Maldonado-Passage fancies himself a Brad Pitt type, but he'd also entertain an audition from David Spade, as long as he's rocking garb from the 2001 comedy, Joe Dirt.
This is according to an interview by THR with Tiger King co-directors Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin. When asked if Passage had voiced his opinion on who should play him in a hypothetical Tiger King movie or series, Chaiklin responded in the affirmative.
"He would like Brad Pitt or David Spade to play him," Chaiklin said. "He doesn’t refer to David Spade as David Spade — he refers to him as 'Joe Dirt.'"
To be honest, I can't argue with the Tiger King's choices. In his bleach-blond mulleted, handlebar-mustachioed persona, Passage doesn't exactly exude a traditional Hollywood charm. But imagining Brad Pitt in full Joe Exotic costume, there might actually be a fit there. As for David Spade's Joe Dirt, I don't think further explanation is warranted.
While Passage now sits in a prison cell serving a 22-year sentence, he isn't the only big cat connoisseur Tiger King paints in a less-than-flattering light. The producers of the Netflix series have responded to accusations from Joe Exotic's undoer, Carole Baskin, that Tiger King is "salacious and sensational."
