One of the best story tellers of our generation.

Omg. The best interview I ever watched. Great questions but Billy is the best. Very humble and honest. God bless him. 5 stars👏👏👏

@MrBuketman 26 дней назад

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!

@8656737s 4 года назад

He would be so much fun to hang out with.

@changingyourworld4693 2 года назад

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.

@theotherebikeguy1473 3 года назад

An awesome man who’s down to earth comfortable being who he is. Thanks for your great contribution.

What a fantastic story teller this Billy Bob Thornton

@sospeciallyme9096 6 лет назад

What an amazing man. So humble and gracious too. Loved every minute of this post. Thanks for sharing it with us.

@Mercurychyld1 3 года назад

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! ☺️🌹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@barbmanley3114 3 года назад

I see why Angie was so attracted to him

@widetubevision4423 3 года назад

I agree. I loved his role in Bad Santa.

@VtRD 3 года назад

Relistening to this today. Reminds me how smart and real Billy Bob Thornton is. A consummate storyteller. Have to watch Sling Blade again.

@shaker7804 5 лет назад

Great interview Stacey. Bill Bob, your honesty is a breath of fresh air.

@1markpower 4 года назад

A simple Plan. What a fine movie. I’ll go to see anything that Billy Bob’s in.

What a sense of humor!!

@Charlie_Hdz 4 года назад

Billy Bob Thornton one of my favorite actors. Love the channel loved the interview. Keep up the great work.

@williamshiver3480 2 года назад

The most generous gift is art. Not realizing it is a gift or knowing you are gifted.

@TheHilavitkutin 6 лет назад

Loving those glasses!!!

@VtRD 7 лет назад

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.

@alwaysopen7970 4 года назад

Homegrown was outrageous.

@javagirl9374 3 года назад

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.

@madroseaustx7386 3 года назад

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.

@pierredoe6936 5 лет назад

Billy Bob Thornton is a favorite of mine but I love the series. Some great interviews.

Wow BBT I think I love u 🥰

@fettfan91 4 месяца назад

Billy’s performance as Davy Crockett in The Alamo is super underrated, great actor!

@nancyiverson 6 лет назад

I am a true fan of you Billy! I am born the same year too. Sept. 17, 1955!

@lynnie6633 7 лет назад

What an exceptional actor. And he's so right about playing killers quietly, Lorne Malvo in Fargo was really terrifying!!

@1qwasz12 4 года назад

In One False Move, he played a loud-mouth murderer; although the actual murders were silent.

@gina.1 3 года назад

Not just exceptional actor, an exceptional person.

@Nacnud191 2 года назад

I’ve been ridiculously unaware of this guy until Fargo. My excuse is living in Scotland. What a dude 👍

@jamiebeach3243 6 лет назад

Billy seems to be a real type cat.good to see from a celeb.

@alwaysopen7970 4 года назад

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.

@caragentile6060 Год назад

I could listen to him all day! What a humble man, great actor.

@streettalk4thesoul 4 года назад

he's adorable

@marcillioficino4663 6 лет назад

Great storyteller.

@allend2749 5 лет назад

lovely outfit. I'm talking about Billy Bob. Such an appropriate name.

@Prestonesfpv 7 лет назад

He seems like a really cool person

@WendelltheSongwriter 7 лет назад

J.T. Walsh gets to deliver the best opening line of all time in Slingblade.

@jaimesirgany4776 4 года назад

never thought so - ill recheck

@christopherallen9580 2 года назад

Billy Bob is the man!

@Fiawordweaver 3 года назад

Bandits. Billy stole that movie. I identified with his character. It was hilarious

@dave082360 3 года назад

Impressive interview. BBT is very well grounded. Just watched 3 seasons of Goliath - LOVED IT!

@VtRD 3 года назад

Goliath is a modern masterpiece I think. Dennis Quaid is terrifying in it--just one example of the great writing it showcases.

@WendelltheSongwriter 7 лет назад

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.

@steffaniepetroni1886 Год назад

Wonderful interview. Every minute was delightful, a natural storyteller

@lanimercado8959 3 года назад

I’m glad he likes the movie i like Monsters Ball, Sling Blade, A simple plan, A man who wasn’t there.

@lindalauchlan982 3 года назад

He is totally amazing, inside and out.

@avantgardenovelist 2 года назад

GREAT interviewer.

@christopherallen9580 2 года назад

The interviewer is beautiful

@jackzaccardi1896 Год назад

She barely mentioned A SIMPLE PLAN, one of his best.

@michaelk.9948 7 лет назад

May the force be with you.

@Prestonesfpv Год назад

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

@lyndseykirkham5357 2 года назад

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

If the networks ever considered bringing back Colombo, BBT would be an ideal fit😎👌

"Know thy self". This guy does. :-)

@bexterz5631 5 лет назад

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.

@alwaysopen7970 4 года назад

Please God...no. There are no screenwriters or actors to do it justice. It would be a big budget Hollywood flop.

@janisthibodeau3861 Год назад

How refreshing to hear someone who's so articulate sans profanity.

@willbfreed 3 года назад

Great guy!

@soldtobediers Год назад

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.

@kindheart2127 4 года назад

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!!

@americanasmk9621 3 года назад

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

@lanimercado7070 3 года назад

Monsters Ball Masterpiece!!

@rmjmoviereviews6876 2 года назад

23:10 starts talking about One False Move

@sparle222 6 лет назад

I'd love for him to read me a bedtime story

@americanasmk9621 3 года назад

He looks a good guy

@Zwwiter 7 лет назад

This dude is like real Lorne Malvo in real life.

@mikewarker4445 Год назад

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

@steveblue8022 6 лет назад

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.

I miss these days when ppl could just say what they thought, be who they were without thinking of all the implications and consequences.

@NickSerritella 4 года назад

Wonder if he was a Sargent

@alwaysopen7970 4 года назад

I doubt it. His story line left no time for it. John Lennon wasn't and wore the same jacket.

@jorisvanamsterdam5763 10 месяцев назад

...........watch the part from 27:50 on.................

@bobstrawn4994 3 года назад

He’s impressive of course, but what’s with the female E-6 rank on his shirt 🙄

@PennyHolloway444 3 года назад

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

@sarahleach9997 7 лет назад

funny😄😄😄😄

@pooky1959 3 года назад

Is it just me or is the audience laughing way too hard at mildly funny comments?

@hartspot009 Год назад

Its kind of a common thing with certain celebrities. Not sure of the psychology behind it..maybe being "star struck"?

@vickimurray413 5 лет назад

Looks like Ringo starr

@jaysilverheals4445 3 года назад

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.

@americanasmk9621 2 года назад

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.
