‘My manager first brought it up, and then it went viral all over the internet. Like, all the fans went crazy with it,’ she said.
While Tara admitted she would be keen to take on role, she said that casting process for the upcoming project was still a long way off.

Tara revealed she had watched the Netflix series and thought it was ‘really good’.
The American Pie star added that playing the enigmatic 59-year-old Baskin would be something of a dream role.
‘Carole is a totally different character. You don’t know, did she kill her husband, the one that’s missing? Is that really true?’ she said.
‘You know, you don’t really trust her. She’s a very dynamic character, which would be great to play.’

Carole rose to prominence as private zookeeper Joe Exotic’s rival in the hit docu-series Tiger King, which premiered on Netflix in March.
Tara previously addressed rumours she’d be portraying the notorious animal rights activist in an interview with Us Weekly last month.
‘We’re definitely in major conversations and working out the things – the offers and this and that so, let’s see what happens,’ she said at the time.

She added: ‘I would love to play this character. It’d be amazing.’
Nicolas Cage has already been cast to portray Joe Exotic in the upcoming movie, and Tara has said she would love to spend time with Carole to get to know her.
‘It’d be more for me to study, just to get her vibe, and from there I could pick it up… I think she is a complex character and I know I’d nail it,’ she said.
