Billy Bob Thornton, the acclaimed actor known for his roles in 'Sling Blade' and 'The Hateful Eight', has recently addressed rumors circulating about his departure from the hit Paramount+ series 'Landman'. In an exclusive interview, Thornton vehemently denied these claims, labeling them as 'AI-generated crap'.
The actor, who plays the lead character Tommy Norris, a petroleum landman, assured fans that he is not leaving the show anytime soon. Despite his character's ousting from M-Tex Oil in the season 2 finale, Thornton confirmed that he will be returning for season 3. This news comes as a relief to fans who have grown fond of the show's unique blend of drama and humor.
'There's an AI report that Demi Moore and I are a couple now, and there's one that I'm leaving the show,' Thornton humorously told USA Today. 'They have nothing to do with reality.'
The show's renewal for a third season, announced last month, has sparked excitement among fans. Thornton expressed his enthusiasm for the show's future, particularly the addition of Sam Elliott as Tommy's dad in season 2. 'It's been great working with Sam. And I love doing the show. I'll be here as long as it plays out. If it's five years, great. If it's six, I'm there,' he said.
Thornton's portrayal of Tommy in season 1 earned him a Golden Globe nomination. His performance as a petroleum landman who must step up after a fatal incident at one of his company's rigs has been widely praised. The season 2 finale is now available to stream on Paramount+, leaving fans eager to see what the future holds for Tommy Norris and the rest of the Landman crew.
