The 'Tiger King' Podcast Host Says Margot Robbie Should Play Joe Exotic


Visualize this: Margot Robbie with a mullet. Robert Moor, host of the podcast Joe Exotic: Tiger King shared his wish list of actors to play Joe Exotic in the miniseries. While the miniseries has already cast Saturday Night Live’s Kate McKinnon as Big Cat Rescue CEO Carole Baskin, Joe Exotic’s nemesis, the role of the titular wildlife park owner has yet to be filled. In a March 30 episode of Andy Cohen‘s SiriusXM show Radio Andy, Moor said he thinks Bird of Prey’s Margot Robbie would be perfect for the role.

“Names we were throwing around were like Sam Rockwell. My preferred casting — and this is a bit off the wall — would be Margot Robbie,” Moor said. “I think Margot Robbie should play Joe in like a gender switch.” When Cohen quipped that Robbie “ain’t ugly enough to play Joe,” Moor implored Cohen to “look at her eyes.” Moor said, “That’s the thing: if you look at her eyes, she has these eyes that are just like Joe’s. I think she would do a great job with it.”

Moor added that John C. Reilly would make an ideal Bhagavan “Doc” Antle, the animal trainer and private zoo owner. “I like that one a lot,” Moor said.

Moor’s podcast follows the rivalry between Exotic (real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage) and Baskin that culminated in Exotic’s prison conviction for a murder-for-hire plot against Baskin. While the upcoming miniseries is still in development and isn’t attached to any networks or streaming services just yet, the release of Netflix’s docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness has generated interest among the quarantine masses.

While the murder-for-hire plot fell through, Exotic was sentenced to 22 years in prison in January for the attempt, as well as for various animal abuse violations. Since the release of the Netflix docuseries, TMZ reported on March 25 that Exotic has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for $94 million and requested a presidential pardon from Donald Trump.

All convictions and lawsuits aside, the Netflix docuseries has gripped celebrities and viewers alike. While Robbie may be Moor’s ideal Joe Exotic, other actors have expressed an interest in the role. Dax Shepard tweeted on March 25, “If I don't get cast as Joe Exotic in the eventual biopic, Hollywood is broken.” Edward Norton then replied, “Um, step aside, pal. You’re way too young and buff and you know it. You could probably pull off Maldonado still, actually.”

23 Nerdy Sex Toys From The 2010s You Didn't Know You Needed

As 2010 closes up shop and 2020 gets ready to make its debut, I think many of us can agree the past decade was, for lack of a better word, intense. As much as politics may have thrown us for a loop in the last three years, overall the decade was one of growth, awareness, progressive movements, and, of course, innovation. And among those innovations came the explosion of sex toys in a culture that finally got the memo that human sexuality isn't just something to be discussed, but celebrated too. Whenever something takes off, as sex toy innovation did in the past decade, you can usually expect that niche items are to follow. I mean, there has to be something for everyone after all. And, as a decade that saw Game of Thrones become a cultural phenomenon and the return of Star Wars , it was also a decade that appealed to our inner nerd I write this as someone who got a Star Wars tattoo three years ago. From an entertainment standpoint, dragons and droids reigned supreme in some w...

Dickinson premiered on Apple TV+ at the beginning of this month, but it's already generating a lot of hype, particularly for those of us who never quite got over our Emily Dickinson "phase." For those looking for supplementary material in this new phase of the famed poet, look no further than this lit lover's guide to watching Dickinson , replete with all the books you need to read to stay abreast of what's going on in the charming new series. For some, the idea of Emily Dickinson being a bratty teenager is just too much to bear, but at least one Dickinson scholar says the show's portrayal is true to the poet she knows. Whether or not the show remains true in its depictions of the various players in Dickinson's life varies from character to character John Mulaney captures the utter weirdness of Henry David Thoreau in his cameo, while Matt Lauria's Benjamin Newton is less than historically accurate, for example. If you're currently enjoying D...
