Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg Recreated One of Joe Exotic's Music Videos
The best part about Netflix's Tiger King may be how fans are reacting, including celebrities like Jenny McCarthy and her husband Donnie Wahlberg.
In a recent TikTok video, the famous couple reenacted one of Joe Exotic's music videos.
Since premiering on March 20, Tiger King has become a something of a cult (and cultural) phenomena. The program, which takes viewers on a journey through the very real and rivalry-driven world of big cat collecting, has inspired everything from yet-to-be made mini-series and memes to celebrity masquerades. Sylvester Stallone and Jared Leto have both sported Joe Exotic hairdos and duds. But Jenny McCarthy and her husband Donnie Wahlberg just upped the ante.
On Wednesday, the model, actress, and Masked Singer judge reenacted one of Joseph Maldonado-Passage's, a.k.a. Joe Exotic's, music videos—and the results were hilarious.
In the parody, Wahlberg wears a black tank, blue jeans, and a blonde mullet. He lip-syncs Exotic's country song “Because You Love Me" beside a pool. Oh, and he pretends to play an acoustic guitar. But the best part of the video may be McCarthy's tiger.
Yes, the 47-year-old dressed up as one of Exotic's big cats.
McCarthy posted the video on her TikTok account and Instagram page, where she wrote the caption "#JoeExotic and his meow kitty versus @donniewahlberg and his meow meow kitty!" She then added a few hashtags, including #LockDown and #Quarantine Craziness!" And to say fans loved the video would be an understatement.
Reactions ranged from "oh my god" and "best TikTok ever" to "but how did you happen to have a mullet wig and tiger suit at home? I need answers." (And same, Instagram follower. Same.)

But McCarthy and Wahlberg aren't the only famous fans embracing the Tiger King life. Several celebrities have photoshopped their faces on Joe Exotic's body, including Snoop Dogg and Dax Shepard.

Chrissy Teigen made a Tiger King meme out of her sweet son Miles.

And comedian Rainn Wilson tweeted a photo of "Dwight Exotic," because we are 100 percent sure that—if Tiger King existed in the fictional Office world—Dwight Schrute would have been a fan.
