Its every journalists nightmare: an interview with a star that goes horribly wrong.
And then, when asked the question more directly, he said, I dont know what you mean.
It went downhill from there.
Thornton responded: Ive never met him.
He soon afterward stood up and walked out of the studio.
Given that, theres already speculation floating around the web that Thornton was under the influence for this interview.
His spokesman, Arnold Robinson, says that is flatly untrue.
Billy Bob clearly just had an issue with the guy, Robinson says.
Bottom line: We dont tell people what questions they can or cannot ask, Robinson says.
When asked if there were any apologies or group hugs after the segment, Robinson laughs.
I dont think so, no.
