Billy "I'm A Musician Now" Bob Thornton Shows His Inner Douche
Would You Say That To Tom Petty?
I already knew Billy Bob Thornton was a smelly, infected douche-nozzle (being married to Angelina Jolie - his FIFTH wife - and all) what I didn't know was how embarrassingly full of himself he was. Consider me fully on-board with that now.
During an interview for the CBC, interviewer Jian Ghomeshi asked Thornton some benign questions about his career shift and in the audio clip you can hear Thornton dressing down a radio host for daring to mention that he is also an actor, along with a slew of other apparent perceived "insults." Essentially Thornton refuses to answer the Jian's questions from the very beginning, including such simple questions like, what kind of music did you listen to as a kid, with BBT telling him a story about entering a monster building contest? HUH?
Did Billy Bob and Joaquin Phoenix drink from the same batch of "kool-aid"?
BBT fronts a band called the Boxmasters, which he describes as a mix of British Invasion and hillbilly music, and goes on to say no one else has ever done anything like this type of music and he even compares himself to Tom Petty. WTF? I don't think so.
The portion of the interview where BBT gets his boxers in a bunch starts out innocent enough. Watch entire interview here.
JG: "Given that you seem to be quite passionate about music, I was wondering about your...
BBT: interrupting "Would you say that to Tom Petty?"
JG: "Would I say that he's passionate about music?"
BBT: "Yeah."
JG: "Yeah"
BBT: "Really? Would you explain why it's not a hobby?"
JG: "Are you reacting to the fact that I asked about..."
BBT: "Yeah I am, since you were instructed not to talk about that sh*t!"
