Here is the thing much of you jealous types don't understand.

He agreed to be interviewed as a musician and SPECIFICALLY STATED he wanted no reference to his acting or movie work. END OF FUCKING STORY.

When the asshole radio jock thought he'd flex a bit by introducing him as all three things the interviewee SPECIFICALLY STATED not to.

The point of the Tom Petty remark was you wouldn't ask a musician if they are into music, he was again trying to portray Billy Bob as just a hobbist.

Our local DJ's were bragging how'd they'd serve him a new one and throw him off 'their' show.

Hate to break to you DJ's out there, you are in radio for a reason and an actor that brings in millions to your parent company will probably have your sorry ass packing if you think you can go to bat against them.

I think it was Tom Cruise that had some DJ's ass handed to him for trying to put him down on air.
 
Just watching this now. My only comment is the DJ looks like Jimmy Fallon and Howard Stern had a kid.

Not to say he didn't have the right to be upset, but he was certainly unprofessional and childish in his reaction.

A dickhead defending a dickhead. Bravo.

Billy Bob's music is crap, there is no other way to describe it. I am glad he was boo'ed by Canadians last night. The ONLY reason he opened for Willie Nelson is because of his acting career.
 
He conceived of and WROTE and acted (tremendously) in Sling Blade and had repeated sex with Angelina Jolie and lived to tell about it, so the man's awight wit me.
 
so many actor bands...billy bob, the 24 dude, russell crow etc...i guess u get a big head and then the money lets u do stupid sh*t.
 
Why are people bothering defending this prick. If Billy Bob didn't want to be at the interview after he was supposedly slighted - GTFO. Don't sit there and act like some shit child that thinks he deserves anything - no one deserves anything, you're lucky the doctor didn't look at your placental covered face and strangle you with the umbilical cord. The only thing he proves by sitting there and being a dick, is that he needs a size 13" cock slapped aside his head.

When Billy-Bob Douche-Bag started with his snide remarks about how Canada was "Mashed Potatos w/o Gravy" did the host tell him to 'Go get the fuck out... eh.' or start talking about how he use to read some magazine and make Frankenstein while snorting coke off his mom's back? No.. he acted like an adult and a professional. He rolled the interview right along because his ego isn't a giant blubbering bitch like BB-DB.

Billy-Bob Douche-Bag needs to go Eat A Dick.
 
Remember boys and lesbian girls, chicks dig assholes. Assholes get all the pussies thrown at them like they're the last person on earth.
 

Lumps in the gravy? Billy Bob leaves Canada

"Actor and musician Billy Bob Thornton has tried to put his problems with Canada and a certain CBC radio host behind him ? by leaving the country altogether."

Tough prima donna

"Mr. Ghomeshi was not asking Mr. Thornton what it was like to be on the set of The Bad News Bears. His crime was to have simply explained to listeners off the top that Mr. Thornton is also an ?Oscar-winning screenwriter-actor-director.? Poor Billy Bob. Imagine the indignity of having to sit there and listen to that kind of introduction."

LOL, what a moronic douche.

Only douches would defend this douche.

Good riddance.
 
Well, his musical performance got some serious criticism, which would probably make me feel sick and want to head for home too:

We live in an age in which bad behaviour on a radio show can get you more attention than if you have one-quarter the talent of the living legend you've had the unbelievable luck to go on tour with. So let's deal with Billy Bob Thornton right away, the very junior partner on Willie Nelson's current concert tour.

On Wednesday morning, Thornton, who has acted in a few high-profile films, gave a convincing performance on CBC Radio of a belligerent, barely lucid entertainer with a fierce sensitivity to any conceivable slight of his musical abilities. More than a few people with tickets to Nelson's show that evening were wondering if he had the chops to back up his rude self-regard.

He and his band the Boxmasters certainly looked sharp, in their skinny charcoal suits with every button done up. Thornton sang a few cool, loud examples of what he calls "cosmic cowboy music." His baritone was perfectly okay for the material, and he knows how to move around a stage, though I wouldn't call him a subtle stylist or master of rhythm.

He made a point of saying that Toronto was "the wildest town in Canada," having opined that morning that Canadian audiences are like "mashed potatoes with no gravy." Then he ordered everyone to stand up, turned his five guitarists loose on an interminable blues jam, and climbed behind a drum kit for one of the most amateurish performances I've ever seen at Massey Hall. I think I'd prefer the movie version.

Whatever happened to the "celebrities are people, too" mentality? I'm sick of this demigod worship bullshit. Nobody else can walk into their job and start throwing childish temper tantrums, cussing out their coworkers, etc, and expect to hold their position, and I don't think celebrities should have that privelage, either. Why, alkemyst, do you seem to think it's ok for Thornton or any other person to behave in such a juvenile manner?

John= SAINT!

 
How ANYONE can defend Billy Bob in this interview is beyond me. He was a complete douche and the interviewer did follow the rules completely. He did not ask any questions to BB about his Hollywood career. He simply sets context with who the box-masters are and that it just isnt some "side gig" for BB, that it is in fact one of his passions.

BB takes offense to him making comments about 3 albums in one year? I think that is a fairly fair and natural question for ANY band is it not? All the other members of the band seem to be OK with it.

Full 13min above

Even his bandmates seem uncomfortable with BBs comments and reaction. COMPLETE ASSHOLE.
