Billy Bob Thornton's Embarrassing, Childish Interview (VIDEO)

Posted by Sassy Smith

Actor, director, screenwriter (but don't call him those things) and occasional musician, Billy Bob Thornton was interviewed - along with Thornton's Boxmasters bandmates - by CBC 'Q' host Jian Ghomeshi, and let's say it didn't go well.  Thornton refused to answer questions, or answered questions with bizarre non-related to the topic responses, cursed on national radio and TV and acted like a spoiled child by not performing a planned in-studio live performance.

Video after the jump!

I thought Ghomeshi handled himself very well and was appropriately professional and respectful.  Thornton on the other hand, was a total jerk, not only making an ass out of himself, but his childish behavior, I would assume, embarrassed his band members.  Now, Billy Bob's children get to see how NOT to act during an interview.  Hopefully his kids didn't learn manners from their dad - he apparently doesn't have any.

Question is, why would Billy Bob act like the way he did?  Perhaps he knows that his ex-wife Angelina Jolie is looking to adopt again, and thought if he acted enough like a baby, she'd snatch him up.

Such a poser. To think he'd even be interviewed if not for being known as an actor is idiotic. Plus, why is he acting like a 6 yr old?

Billy Bob is a moron! His whole band looked uncomfortable and embarrassed. It is obvious that were it not for his previous turn as an actor these guys would be playing in their parent's garage.

I love listening to Q on CBC with Jian and couldn't believe how horribly he acted. If he had made an agreement with the producers he should have handled his interview professionally and THEN discuss the problem with the producers. I couldn't imagine treating anyone that way (well, maybe I'd treat Billy that way now). Too bad his band members can't kick him out for being a total ass. AND, he'd bring less attention to his celebrity status as an actor if he'd just let it go.

I'm so happy that Jian came out on top - he handled it so well. The next day CBC did a spoof on the whole ordeal, it was cute.
