Sylvester Stallone and his family dressed up like members of the cast of the Netflix series Tiger King in an attempt to capitalize on the recent buzz around the show.
Sylvester and his family bore uncanny resemblances to the quirky, big-cat-obsessed characters Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic.
Instead of playing Tiger King’s main character, Joe Exotic, Sylvester, 73, disguised himself as Jeff Lowe, the man in charge of Joe’s incarceration.
Carole Baskin, Joe’s formidable competitor, was Jennifer Flavin, Sylvester’s flashy wife, clad in a fluttering pink dress, a flower crown, and a dog dressed as a lion.
Sylvester Stallone and his family dressed up like members of the Tiger King cast.
Scarlett Rose, their daughter, played Joe the best, down to his handlebar moustache, blonde mullet, and eyebrow ring.
Sophia disguised as Erik Cowie, the head tiger keeper, by putting her blond hair straight around her face, sunglasses, and basic attire.
Sistine also impersonated Joe’s ex-husband John Finlay by acquiring multiple fake tattoos and wearing a drawn-on beard.
Joe Exotic is currently serving a 22-year jail sentence.
The family even acted out an argument between Joe, Carole, and Jeff, which Tiger King viewers will find amusing.
Fans on Instagram, where the photographs and video were shared, were ecstatic about their performances.
“So funny,” one of Sly’s 11.9 million followers wrote. Sly, you have a wonderful family!”
“Icons!” said another. “I adore all of you.”
A third person added, “OMG awesome.”
Sylvester, his wife, and their daughter were excellent impersonators.
Since the documentary Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness was made available on Netflix in its entirety, fans have flocked to social media to show their love for it.
It follows the happenings of Joe’s wild animal park, which houses large cats and unusual creatures. However, the plot quickly deteriorated into a murder-for-hire scheme.
Joe is currently serving a 22-year jail sentence after being found guilty in April 2019 of 17 counts of animal mistreatment and two counts of murder for hire.
