Joe Exotic Biopic

With the new Netflix hit documentary taking the world by storm, I have to decided to create a fan casting page in case anyone in Hollywood makes a biopic about Joe Exotic and his life. My top choice is Jared Leto. Jared’s career is not in a good place right now, and as soon as this whole COVID-19 pandemic is over, and everything returns to normal, I think Jared should be cast. He’s a good actor and can be brilliant when given the right script (e.g. Requiem for a Dream, Dallas Buyers Club etc.), and his career does not deserve to sink for one misstep with his poor portrayal of the Joker in Suicide Squad.
