Tara Reid CONFIRMS she’s in talks to play Tiger King subject Carole Baskin in new film

Rumors that she might be in a film adaptation of Netflix true crime hit Tiger King have floated about for days now.

But Tara Reid herself has finally confirmed she’s in talks to play the enigmatic animal rights activist Carole Baskin, in an interview with UsWeekly.

‘We’re definitely in major conversations and working out the things,’ said the 44-year-old Sharknado actress, on Thursday. 

Nicolas Cage has already been locked in to play Carole’s nemesis, wildlife park owner Joe Exotic.

If she does land the role of Carole, Tara said, ‘I would definitely want to spend a week with [Baskin] – not to ask her anything, to see how she eats, s–ts, see how she plays, see if she talks to people.’

But despite her claims that she won’t ask Carole anything, the American Pie actress said she has many questions for the 56-year-old Big Cat Rescue CEO.

‘Did she kill her husband? Did the tiger eat him? Did she do this? There’s so much stuff up in the air. Nothing’s ever been proven and maybe she did nothing or maybe she did. No one knows.’

The Netflix docu-series became a sensation this year, chronicling a feud between Carole and zookeeper Joe Exotic who was convicted of trying to take a hit out on her. 

Meanwhile, Reid has revealed she’s isolating in unconventional circumstances, by living with her boyfriend Nathan Montpetit-Howar and her former Celebrity Big Brother co-stars, Jedward.

In a new interview, the American Pie actress, 44, joined the X Factor 2009 contestants, 28, in her LA apartment as she shared her lockdown routine, with one of twins describing quarantine life as ‘Big Brother coronavirus’.

The thespian said the group have been keeping busy amid California’s lockdown by writing songs and winding down with some meditation. 

Irish twins John & Edward Grimes rose to fame 11 years ago on the UK edition of X Factor, where they were mentored by Louis Walsh.

The media personalities forged a close friendship with Hollywood actress Tara when they all featured on Celebrity Big Brother in 2011.   

Explaining how the trio have been bonding during the state’s isolation period, the TV and film star told Page Six’s Maggie and Ian: ‘We are all artists. John and Edward, you should see the songs they’re writing right now!’

The brothers have lent a helping hand to Tara during their stay by ‘cleaning her windows’ and listening to daily Deepak Chopra meditations for the past 11 days.

Detailing the intimate routine, the boys said: ‘We did it last night together with all the lights off. Tara loves it!’

The blonde beauty recently admitted living with Phantom Acoustics founder Nathan has been challenging as the couple, who usually both lead busy schedules, are currently stuck in the house for long periods of time.

She told In Touch: ‘It is a make or break kind of thing because you’re always together and we argue because there’s no break, but we’re getting through it. 

‘I think you’ve just got to check each other’s feelings and try to give each other as much space as you possibly can, like when I’m I want space, and when he’s doing business, he wants space so we go into different rooms.’
