Billy Bob Thornton

"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."

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.

"Schools"??? LOL yeah right! BBT schooled himself by all this bad publicity

[bboots100]

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!

What an ASS BBis! OMG! Does he think he's Madonna???? ha ha.... What an ASS hole guest!

I don't listen go Gian has he upset any other guests besides BBT?

@PersepolisMusic I agree with what NoltonMash posted interesting website Persepolis.

[PersepolisMusic]

@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

[cfcreative1]

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.

A narcissistic half-talent like Billy Bob couldn't school anyone. Anyone who watches this whole interview knows that Jian owns his sorry ass.

And Billy Bob...? If you want to strut with an attitude like that, try some good music next time. There are guys out there who are musical giants who also understand humility.

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.

[xavierpaquin]

@Oztrigger5 No, he should have cut Billy Bob's belly open and strangled him with his own bowels

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.
