In an interview on the Today Show to promote his charity, “Six Degrees,” which supports small businesses and feeds frontline workers, Kevin Bacon discussed his love of his love of the Netflix docu-series ‘Tiger King” and his desire to play Joe Exotic in a film. When asked about the internet buzz that Bacon should portray the Tiger Kings, Bacon responded “Sure, I’d play Joe Exotic in a second.” He went on to say that when he was asked by his wife Kyra Sedgwick why he was watching the show, he said it was because he is often asked to play those type of characters. “This is my type of guy,” he added.
