Joe Exotic’s ex-husband, John Finlay, who famously featured in Netflix’s hit Tiger King docuseries, has undergone quite the transformation.
In a bonus episode about the erstwhile zoo owner, Finlay was interviewed via video chat by the host, Joel McHale, who revisited all the stars in a new Netflix special.
And fans couldn't believe their eyes when they saw Finlay, who could be seen sporting a beard, a full set of teeth, and most surprisingly, a shirt, (he didn't wear one for the entirety of original seven episodes).
During the series, Finlay left Exotic, who he was married to for a number of years, for a fellow female employee, and the pair went onto have a child. He has since separated from the woman in question, and is now reportedly engaged to someone else.
Speaking to Variety, Finlay, who is now a motivational speaker, stated: Anybody can change their life for the better. We can all have better lives if we just apply ourselves to it and have a positive attitude.
"Nothing is written in stone, You have to be this way or you have to be that way. We can all change our own lives of how everything should be."
Watch as OJ Simpson says there's "no doubt" that Tiger King star Carole Baskin killed her husband:In related news, according to the Mirror, Exotic was once also married to a convicted pedophile, who is now serving time in prison for murder.
The series charted the erstwhile zoo owner's later relationships, including his 2014 polyamorous wedding ceremony to John Finlay and Travis Maldonado, as well as his later marriage to the then 22-year-old Dillon Passage.
According to the British tabloid, however, before these marriages, Exotic - born Joe Schreibvogel, was in a relationship with Jeffrey Charles "JC" Hartpence, prior to his convictions.
Exotic purportedly struck up a relationship with Hartpence while he was grieving his first husband Brian Rhyne's death - who passed away in 2001 from complications related to HIV.
He ended things with Hartpence after he allegedly held a gun to his head during a drunken dispute.
Years after the relationship ended, Hartpence was convicted for "aggravated indecent liberties with a child under the age of 14", and listed on the sex offenders register, according to the publication.
The 43-year-old is now serving a life sentence at a prison in Kansas for the first-degree murder of Curtis Shelton, who was discovered dead at his home in 2014 with multiple gunshot wounds.
Exotic married his fifth husband Dillon Passage in 2017, and they are still together despite Exotic's 22-year prison sentence for allegedly paying a hitman to kill his nemesis Carole Baskin, and for killing tigers at his zoo to make space for other animals.
