Tiger King's John Finlay looks unrecognisable
Tiger King fans were shocked to see John Finlay's transformation in the bonus episode of the documentary.
Joe Exotic's former husband had barely any teeth in the series.
However, he's since underwent a full makeover which includes a new set of dentures.

It was revealed on the show that John lost his teeth following an addiction to meth however, he claims that's not the case at all.
He told Refinery29, 'It is a huge misconception that drugs were the cause of my dental issues.'
'I was four years clean from drugs — something else they left out.'
John revealed, 'I had a genetic issue relating to my teeth and had made several previous attempts to repair them.'
He went on to say that Netflix made him look like, 'a drugged-out hillbilly.'
'Netflix had two interviews where I did have my teeth fixed,' however, the interviews didn't make the cut.

He said, 'I suppose when you are trying to make a story, you create characters...'
'Perhaps they felt it was best just to keep my 'character' how I used to look.'
John said it took, 'serious work to remove all my remaining 25 teeth.'
John said, 'I did this dental transformation as a way of closing a prior chapter of my life, so it also signified my new chapter, the new me.'
'I am not someone who is very vain or necessarily minds what others look like as I never judge a book by its cover.'
However, he added that his new teeth have, 'done wonders,' for his self-esteem.
