Leon's WTF Theater presents: "Is Billy Bob Thornton the new Joaquin Phoenix or just a giant A**hole?
Billy Bob Thornton with his band, the Boxmasters, who are on tour with Willie Nelson, appeared on Q TV for CBC radio in Canada and inexplicably turned hostile on the host right out of the box evading simple questions and criticized the host for 'insulting' him by referring to him as an "actor". Not hammering him for being an actor that was TRYING to sing, mjnd you, just suggesting that some people may have seen a motion picture or two that Thornton happen to appear in. It starts when host Jian Ghomeshi innocently asks Thornton when the band formed and Thornton belligerently answers, "I don't know what you're talking about."
If you enjoy 'Teatro del Awkward' here's a great new trophy for your collection:
Speaking by phone later, Ghomeshi said: "To not answer questions because I made the apparently egregious mistake of calling him an actor as well as a musician, it just seemed a little absurd."
My hat's off Ghomeshi for not tossing Billy Bob's hillbilly ass right out of the studio. And if turns out that this a put-on and Thorton and Joaquin Phoenix are doing an "Andy Kaufman", listen up, dillweeds: If there IS a new Andy Kaufman his name is
...and he does it better than you could ever hope to!
Either way, pull your heads out of your collective asses and knock it off, already. You're starting to bore us.

"so, did you love music when you were a kid?"
"I used to subscribe to a monster magazine, the editor passed away recently"
?
"so, you weren't interested in music?"
"I entered a monster making competitor"

I think either Thornton has either lost his mind, or is on the same drugs that Joaqin Phoenix was on when he went on Letterman.

yeah he tried to tell the people in Toronto that the Mashed Potatoes thing was directed at Jian Ghomeshi and keeps trying to say it was because Jain made the interview about his acting career even though it's obvious that other then the brief intro which simply stated the facts implicit when someone hears the name Billy Bob Thornton.
I just find it funny that so someone who claims he didn't want it to be about his acting he made damn well sure it would be all about his acting.

wtf he looks like he's lost in his own mind. but everybody tends to forget that he & Angelina wore each other's blood around their necks and swapped underwear. he's always been a weirdo.

and I still can't shake the feeling that he acted this way because he felt that a Canadian interview was "beneath" him.... but then i might still be sensitive from the whole Red Eye slagging Canada thing....

the thing is though that the whoe actor thing is implicit in introducing him on the show. ask most people about Billy bob Thornton and actor is probably in the top 5 answers of that question. if that was trying to be humble and not bring attention to the band because of his existing celebrity then mission failed because no all that interview is about is him being a dink.

Oh, and kudos to the host for remaining professional in the face of such childishness. It's in cases like these that a sense of humor becomes most important.

The bandmates are embarassed but aren't saying anything because they clearly know that without Thornton, their little band just goes back to obscurity. They wouldn't risk pissing him off and lose the publicity his fame is bringing them. It looks like Thornton trying to be "modest" by not wanting his acting career mentioned because he knows that it's the only thing that's even remotely interesting about that band, but ironically showing his "Texas-sized" ego when Ghomeshi dared to mention it after he TOLD the producer not to do that. That clip is painfully hilarious, though.

As great of an actor as he is, he does come off as a douchebag in this video.
