Mr. Thornton does not have the talent to behave like a prima donna, nor would anyone have had a clue why Jian Ghomeshi would have 'The Boxmasters' on his radio program, had he not clarified that it was Billy Bob's band. This sad little band wouldn't be getting a lick of notice was it not for that fact; the only thing of interest about them. Mr. Thornton assumed incorrectly that he could be as rude as he wanted to be to a nobody Canadian (wrong), and no one would be the wiser. Surprise!
Before you trash BB realize that Gian had promised not to discuss his acting career then surprisingly opened up the interview by describing his an an actor turned musician.
@cfcreative1 Nooooooo. lets be clear, he didn't say actor turned musician, he explicitly explains his story stating: he was always a musician, just got side tracked... BBT is a whiny baby, cmon, upon reflection he even realized he pwned himself
I understand he was pissed, but he should have had the balls to tell this guy upfront what his issue was...not bottle it up and let it linger like a highschool girl.
Nice editing job NoltonMash, but I suggest that viewers watch the original interview. Billy Bob Thornton is either completely deluded or excessively arrogant if he thinks that the reason his band gets the recognition it does (or did, before this embarrassment) is based solely on their music. Clearly Billy Bob "schooled" himself, and luckily everyone except you, NoltonMash, seems to recognize this.
Uh, no. Billy Bob didn't school anybody. Goddamn right I would ask Tom Petty that question. Hell, I'd ask Bono that same question. If Tom Petty had the same acting career Billy Bob had PRIOR TO the interview then, yes, Billy Bob is fair game to be asked if this is his first love. Jian could've said, "No one instructs me to do anything but since I mentioned it, it is what it is, so are we going to continue to waste time or will I have to turn and interview the actuals musicians of the band?"
I do many, many celebrity radio interviews. Trust me...the host constantly tried to give Billy Boob oppurtunities to get back on track. But never once did the host back down. Scripted actors should never try and take on hosts that don't use scripts on a daily basis. The celebs almost always end up looking like the spoiled idiots they are.
whats saddest of all is that those other musicians in the band have to suffer the lost income and exposure becuase some rich arrogant actor decides to be an asshole but maybe they can go do some acting cause if billy bob can do it ANYBODY can
nobody would be talking about this mediocre band if BBT wasn't involved. he ought to start a band w/bruce willis and keanu reeves, they could call it woodcock...
"We're really happy to be here, but I need to say something. I talked to this a--hole yesterday."
"I sat down and talked with this guy. He and his producers say, `We promise you we won't say that' (meaning references to Thornton's acting career). The very first thing they said was that."
"I don't really like sensationalism," he added. "If you look someone in the eyes and promise them something, and you don't do it, you don't get the interview. That's the way it goes."
It may be his side but he's still wrong and needs to grow up. Besides, how is it sensationalism? People break promises every day. I know from personal and professional experiences it sucks but it happens. Get over it. He could've walked away and allowed the other members of the band to promote the music but, no, he chose to create a spectacle that now overshadows his band's music. Believe me, Opie and Anthony and especially Jim Norton would've torn Billy Bob a few more assholes. Hooray for Jian.
Billy Bob is worse than a spoiled 5 year old. He's a tenth degree assclown who thinks he's royalty. Frankly, I wouldn't cross the street to see this rank amateur.
Thornton should realize he's about the luckiest man on earth and go around with a blissful smile on his face and a very happy demeanour. With his looks and talent (or lack thereof) he's become rich, famous, and had sex (a lot) with Angelina Jolie.
You're about as stupid as Billy Bob. Ghomeshi is not shiting his pants, he is in complete dibelieve that Billy Bob is so stoned that he can't answer straight questions. Billy bob was on a tangent about hobby magazines. Watch the whole interview,
Billy Bob, I thought you were a dick, now I know your a dick. What a grumpy ol' fcuk! Your an actor, and not much more, so deal with it...and stay the fcuk out of Canada...sooner you get back to your trailer park the better. Toothless inbred hillbilly...
