It was Jared Leto who sparked the “Tiger King” hype in Hollywood. No wonder, the crazy story is about illegally bred cats, sex, murder, fraud, corruption, polygamy, crystal meth and above all revenge.

Comedian Dax Shepard (45) is also targeting them. Kristen Bell’s (39) husband used Photoshop to paste his face onto that of “Joe Exotic” and posted it.

She has the same eyes as him. It would be just perfect. » As an alternative, he has Sam Rockwell (51) on the slip. “Doc” Antle is supposed to play John C. Reilly (54).
Meanwhile, the “Tiger King” is enjoying its fame behind bars. He gets hundreds of emails every day – from fans and haters.
