I just (2024) worked with him in a couple of scenes for Landman . Had a few laughs and fun to watch him work. Been a fan of his films since a kid in the 90’s. Glad this finally popped up years later. Thanks!
I have to say, I won’t mention names, but I have seen some actors who are amazing on screen, but are sooo boring or hard to listen to being themselves, but THIS man, wow! Both a phenomenal actor and seems like a fun human being, that you could sit and talk to/listen to for days. One of THE BEST, BRAVO! ☺️🌹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Billy's commentary on the death of his brother is part of my survival kit after the death of my precious daughter, Carla. He's authentic and brave. Thanks sir.
One of the Top 5 actors, EVER!!!!!! I just want him to never have to go Commercial. Even though he has had Commercial success; he has been able to maintain the Art.
Im not really into celebs in any way, but Billy Bob is one of those who would be interresting to hang out with on the porch for a day, have a few cold ones and just talk about life and weird stuff in general
Exceptionally talented artist. Loved the story about him writing short stories when he was a kid. In Sling Blade, he was just devastating. That was early in his career, and he's gone on to a lot more great work. He's funny, too.
He's not a true celebrity, which is why you see him in that vein. Celebrities are assholes, for the most part. When they start to expect, believe and take for granted the accolades, they stray from what Billy Bob displayed here. You witnessed a regular guy speak of his memories and experiences of what he does as well as how he got to the point he is now. You may very well know people with the same qualities in your life but the celebrity aspect here made your ears prick up. Everyone has a story worth listening to if you take the time to listen. Everyone.
1:04:46 As Billy Bobs brother John Prine on ''Daddy And Them'' had said in one of his songs ''Donald And Lydia'' But dreaming just comes natural Like the first breath from a baby, Like sunshine feeding daisies, Like the love hidden deep in your heart.
He is real people. I've had the pleasure of speaking with him on several occasions. I fell in love with his talent when I saw Sling Blade. I met him when he was touring with his band the Box Masters.
Yes, so did I! I had the pleasure of speaking to him, and I even got to take a picture with him!! I remember, I was trying to take a picture with him, and I was to nervous to take the photo with him and I in the picture. Then he actually took the time, to try and figure out my phone so that he could take the picture. Well, so Billy Bob Thornton took the picture of him and I. It was one of the greatest moments of my life, that I got to meet one of my favorite actors of all time. He was so nice and humble, I was so surprised at how nice he was to me, considering he’s an Academy Award Winning Hollywood Actor. I got to meet him, during his tour with the Box Masters. His acting is incredible and music is awesome.
Despite being incorrectly nominated as a lead actor at the Emmys, Fargo is my favorite Billy Bob role of all time (playing the role his "Man Who Wasn't There" co-star James Gandolfini might have been cast in if he'd gotten his weight down to 240). But we'll never know because he died of a heart attack too early on. Several other actors were also considered for the role before Billy Bob ended up being cast a month or two later.
I come from the Ozarks. Steinbecks grapes of wrath was my fathers favorite story because he was a depression baby and could relate to the story. It’d be amazing to see a remake.
I'm just going to do long story short I was on a bus what's a guy who played in a band was Billy Bob Thornton in Malvern... How far is he was just blowing smoke but sure enough it all came full circle and then I was talking to my mom was at the hospital and she said oh oh oh oh I knew that was him I said you know who was what? She said when I was 17 I made out with Billy Bob Thornton before he got famous I knew there was him but I didn't say anything to anybody... I was at the hospital I'm having a bad day but I said you just made my day you made out with Billy
Incredibly sexy man!! We have too much in common!! I played the tambourine. A large cookie tin filled with broken crayons. Dave Clark Five's Bits and Pieces. My cousin and I performed at all holidays. LMAO!! LOVE YOU BILLY!!
Enterviewer didn't mention the movie he did called "Leaving Reno".. I thought it was a good and funny movie... I have been to the filming locations for Sling Blade, the barber shop is no longer in business, laundry mat hasn't changed at all..Frank Wheatley's house is also still there, but has new vinyl siding installed but the porch looks the same... The is all in Benton Arkansas.
People these days don't know how good billy bob was as an actor AND a creator and I know for a fact he be thinking to himself " Was what I just said really that funny?" lol wanna be actors be jocking
I am amazed they mentioned bad santa but did not have the nerve to ask him why with his success did he sink so low as to make santa 2 the most vulgar filthiest film ever produced in the history of the world. PLUS HE ACTED IN IT. never should have been made or released.
You talk sensively but sometimes they do not how to fit the situation i mean they dont know how to fit the situation. You are not funny you mean what you say.
I love Billy Bobs’ interviews. Always interesting and entertaining. He never disappoints!❤
One of the best story tellers of our generation.
What a marvelous sense of humor this actor has. Just wonderful and easy to listen to
I could Listen to him, ALL DAY! Much RESPECT To him as a Man & an Artist🥰🤗😍
Love you Billy Bob !!! Hugs from Southern Oklahoma. 😊
Omg. The best interview I ever watched. Great questions but Billy is the best. Very humble and honest. God bless him. 5 stars👏👏👏

I see why Angie was so attracted to him
I agree. I loved his role in Bad Santa.
Relistening to this today. Reminds me how smart and real Billy Bob Thornton is. A consummate storyteller. Have to watch Sling Blade again.
An awesome man who’s down to earth comfortable being who he is.
Thanks for your great contribution.
The most generous gift is art. Not realizing it is a gift or knowing you are gifted.
Billy's commentary on the death of his brother is part of my survival kit after the death of my precious daughter, Carla. He's authentic and brave. Thanks sir.
What an amazing man. So humble and gracious too. Loved every minute of this post. Thanks for sharing it with us.
He would be so much fun to hang out with.
Billy Bob Thornton one of my favorite actors. Love the channel loved the interview. Keep up the great work.
Love my Billy Bob....
What a fantastic story teller this Billy Bob Thornton
Great interview Stacey. Bill Bob, your honesty is a breath of fresh air.
A simple Plan. What a fine movie. I’ll go to see anything that Billy Bob’s in.
Happy 65th Birthday Billy Bob Thornton
Billy Bob Thornton is a favorite of mine but I love the series. Some great interviews.
great interview
Wonderful interview. Every minute was delightful, a natural storyteller
One of the Top 5 actors, EVER!!!!!! I just want him to never have to go Commercial. Even though he has had Commercial success; he has been able to maintain the Art.
Billy’s performance as Davy Crockett in The Alamo is super underrated, great actor!
Im not really into celebs in any way, but Billy Bob is one of those who would be interresting to hang out with on the porch for a day, have a few cold ones and just talk about life and weird stuff in general
I get this guy -in love now and can't wait for more of his work- bbbest
Loving those glasses!!!
What a sense of humor!!
Wow BBT I think I love u 🥰
Exceptionally talented artist. Loved the story about him writing short stories when he was a kid. In Sling Blade, he was just devastating. That was early in his career, and he's gone on to a lot more great work. He's funny, too.
Homegrown was outrageous.
Billy Bob is the man!
He‘s so very funny and an adorable wonderful actor...😘❤️
Impressive interview. BBT is very well grounded. Just watched 3 seasons of Goliath - LOVED IT!
Goliath is a modern masterpiece I think. Dennis Quaid is terrifying in it--just one example of the great writing it showcases.
I’ve been ridiculously unaware of this guy until Fargo. My excuse is living in Scotland. What a dude 👍
He is totally amazing, inside and out.
How refreshing to hear someone who's so articulate sans profanity.
I am a true fan of you Billy! I am born the same year too. Sept. 17, 1955!
lovely outfit. I'm talking about Billy Bob. Such an appropriate name.
Billy seems to be a real type cat.good to see from a celeb.

He seems like a really cool person
I’m glad he likes the movie i like Monsters Ball, Sling Blade, A simple plan, A man who wasn’t there.
he's adorable
I'm happy to hear he likes to re-watch The Man Who Wasn't There. Ed Crane is such a real character, who simply believes his voice will never be heard.
1:04:46 As Billy Bobs brother John Prine on ''Daddy And Them'' had said in one of his songs ''Donald And Lydia''
But dreaming just comes natural
Like the first breath from a baby,
Like sunshine feeding daisies,
Like the love hidden deep in your heart.

What an exceptional actor. And he's so right about playing killers quietly, Lorne Malvo in Fargo was really terrifying!!
In One False Move, he played a loud-mouth murderer; although the actual murders were silent.
Not just exceptional actor, an exceptional person.

GREAT interviewer.
J.T. Walsh gets to deliver the best opening line of all time in Slingblade.
never thought so - ill recheck
Great storyteller.
Bandits. Billy stole that movie. I identified with his character. It was hilarious
May the force be with you.
I come from the Ozarks. Steinbecks grapes of wrath was my fathers favorite story because he was a depression baby and could relate to the story. It’d be amazing to see a remake.
Please God...no. There are no screenwriters or actors to do it justice. It would be a big budget Hollywood flop.
She barely mentioned A SIMPLE PLAN, one of his best.
I miss Bill Paxton.
My Fav. Actor.
Chet.
my sister just died today. and yet I find this the most soothing option. weird..
The interviewer is beautiful
If I could have lunch with anybody in the world and I could have 5 people on the list Billy B would be one of them.
"Know thy self". This guy does. :-)
If the networks ever considered bringing back Colombo, BBT would be an ideal fit😎👌
I like bob thorton too but i havent seen him with a formal attire why he does that too and shave too i hope thats good to say
Great guy!

23:10 starts talking about One False Move
Monsters Ball Masterpiece!!
He looks a good guy
Funny he says he wasn’t right for the menacing part, but then he went on to play Malvo so effectively
I'd love for him to read me a bedtime story
Bad Santa Yes
This dude is like real Lorne Malvo in real life.
Billy Bob my friends and I made cardboard guitars and pretended we were the Beatles while lip syncing to their songs. Funny to hear I wasn’t alone
We used tennis rackets. I played drums. Wasn't hard to find a couple sticks
he's adorable.angelina jolie seems to rate him very high
Wonder if he was a Sargent
I doubt it. His story line left no time for it. John Lennon wasn't and wore the same jacket.
Enterviewer didn't mention the movie he did called "Leaving Reno".. I thought it was a good and funny movie...

...........watch the part from 27:50 on.................
I miss these days when ppl could just say what they thought, be who they were without thinking of all the implications and consequences.
I’m saying it was iron man they wanted him for and RDJ was his buddy who got it lol
Bandits
BBT is developing a movie based on ChewbaccaMom
Stacy, I want your job! 😹😹😹
He’s impressive of course, but what’s with the female E-6 rank on his shirt 🙄
People these days don't know how good billy bob was as an actor AND a creator and I know for a fact he be thinking to himself " Was what I just said really that funny?" lol wanna be actors be jocking

funny😄😄😄😄
Is it just me or is the audience laughing way too hard at mildly funny comments?
Its kind of a common thing with certain celebrities. Not sure of the psychology behind it..maybe being "star struck"?
He and J.D. need to grow up. Too old to be Rock stars. Just act. Why be a mediocre musician when u are 2 of the greatest actors alive??!!
Looks like Ringo starr
