Billy Bob Thornton makes an ass of himself on CBC - Full Comment

INTERVIEWER CRUELTY: It's stereotypical but safe to say that Canadians are unnaturally friendly and polite, which makes this interview between a CBC broadcaster and irascible actor musician Billy Bob Thornton such an igry listen. After making the mistake of mentioning that Billy Bob has appeared in a film or two, the CBC's Jian Ghomeshi desperately tries to keep the interview steered in the right direction, whereas I would have liked to have seen Ghomeshi start to use the Sling Blade voice or pepper Billy Bob with Mr. Woodcock questions.
