Billy Bob Thornton Sets Record Straight About Leaving 'Landman'
Rumors circulating about his potential exit from Taylor Sheridan's show "Landman" after its second season are nothing but "AI-generated crap," according to the 70-year-old actor. In an exclusive interview with USA Today, Thornton addressed speculation that he may be leaving the show, citing a plot point where his character Norris was fired by the owner.
Thornton made it clear that there's no truth to reports about him being paired with co-star Demi Moore in real life or that he's departing the series. "They have nothing to do with reality," he said, dismissing the rumors as fabricated by artificial intelligence.
Despite Sheridan leaving Paramount for NBC Universal and the show already being renewed for a third season, Thornton assured fans that he will be back for more. "It's been great working with Sam [Elliott]," he said, highlighting his positive experience on set. When asked about potential plot twists in Season 3, Thornton remained tight-lipped, only hinting at the possibility of increased physical danger and some unsettling family secrets.
Thornton also acknowledged that his TV deal with Paramount doesn't officially end until 2028 but mentioned that a new film deal is set to go into effect next year. The actor expressed enthusiasm about returning for another season, saying he'll be there as long as the show continues to play out. With its renewal secured and production slated for spring, fans can expect more of Norris's adventures in Season 3 of "Landman."
