Orlando Bloom poses as Tiger King star Joe Exotic in epic new meme

Orlando Bloom has shared an epic new meme of himself as Tiger King star Joe Exotic on Instagram.

The actor, 43, took to his social media account to post the funny snap of himself posing as Joe - former owner of an exotic animal park in the United States.

Tiger King Joe, 57, is the face of the Netflix docuseries which shows his antics as the zoo owner, where he had hundreds of tigers in captivity.

Cheeky Orlando edited the image to swap his own head onto Joe's body and is seen wrestling a huge tiger with the face of a puppy.

Orlando's fans found the snap hilarious, with one commenting: "I see you're getting bored in quarantine... [laughing emoji]"

Another penned: "New movie confirmed?! This is cute haha".

A third praised: "This made lockdown 10 times better".

Exotic's nemesis was animal rights activist Carole Baskin and their relationship was so toxic that it became a "murder-for-hire" plot.

He is currently serving 22 years in prison after he shot dead five tigers, falsified paperwork and attempted to kill Baskin by allegedly hiring a hitman.

In March 2020, the former owner of the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Interior and the US Federal Wildlife Service after they added "generic tiger" to the list of endangered species.

He is claiming more than $70,000 as he says the animals have been added to target businesses like his.

Joe also wants $15 million from former business partner Jeff Lowe and a host of former colleagues who have allegedly planted evidence against him.
