Billy Bob has spoken out over the past year about how he hates acting and hates Hollywood. I read somewhere a while back that he said he’ll keep doing it to pay the bills, but doesn’t give half a crap about the industry – or something to that effect. Here’s the proof…

This has been going all around the Internet for the past few days so I doubt it needs much explanation. Billy Bob is in a band called the Boxmasters. They did an interview in Canada for Q TV in which the interviewer introduced him as an actor for the sake of context. Billy Bob then dodged the rest of the interview until confronting the guy about it, as the station producers were instructed to not mention his acting career and only talk about music.

People have been calling it a ‘blow up’, but it’s really more the opposite. The better comparison is to that of Joaquin Phoenix, because Thornton shows no interest in anything. The interview is long – 13 minutes – and never gets into a heated fight, but is entertaining because of Thornton, the interviewer’s struggle and the rest of the band’s reactions. Billy Bob really made the interviewer prove that he knows what he’s doing as a professional. I think he did a fantastic job – well done, whoever you are.

The rest of the band is hilarious through their expressions. They’re either just as big of douchebags as Billy Bob, or want to punch him in the face for being a dick. Hard to tell. Considering they’ve been a band for a few years and this is basically just how Billy Bob is, I’ll assume the former.
