Tiger King star John Finlay has lent his voice to a new ad campaign for a tiger-patterned emergency kit.

Finlay, who was married to the titular “tiger king” Joe Exotic during filming of the docuseries, has provided the voiceover for an advert for emergency prep company Judy.

The brand has launched a “Tiger Safe” kit featuring first aid supplies, safety tools, emergency food and water reserves, all in a stylish tiger print.

“At Judy, we think emergency preparedness is so important, we’ll do whatever it takes to get you to pay attention to it. Even this,” Finlay says.

With Finlay describing the kit as having “new exotic stripes”, the advert jokingly adds: “Tigers not included.”

“Get it quick, because while its novelty will most definitely fade, being ready for the unexpected never will,” he concludes.

The limited edition kit costs (£200) $250, with all the proceeds going to America’s Food Fund.

Tiger King was an overnight sensation for Netflix, with the documentary’s subjects quickly becoming stars and Nicolas Cage set to play Exotic in a new TV series.
