Amidst the dramatic twists and turns of the hit show Landman, a shocking report emerged, claiming that the renowned Billy Bob Thornton was departing the series. But Thornton himself vehemently denies this, calling it 'AI-generated nonsense'!
As the second season of Landman nears its end, fans are left wondering about the fate of Thornton's character, Tommy Norris, especially after his character's abrupt exit from M-Tex Oil in the second-to-last episode. However, the acclaimed actor, who won an Oscar for his exceptional skills, has put these rumors to rest. He asserts that the reports of his departure are entirely fabricated and have no basis in reality.
Thornton, in a candid interview with USA Today, revealed, 'There's this AI-generated story claiming Demi Moore and I are a couple, and another one saying I'm leaving Landman. These are completely false.' He further emphasized his commitment to the show, stating, 'I'm not going anywhere.'
The renewal of Landman for a third season by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace has given Thornton even more reason to celebrate. He enthusiastically confirmed his involvement, saying, 'You bet I'll be there!' The addition of Sam Elliott as Tommy's father, TL, in Season 2 has also added a new layer of excitement for Thornton, who expressed his joy in working with Elliott. He shared, 'Working with Sam has been fantastic, and I'm loving every moment of the show. I'm committed to seeing this through to the end, whether it's five or six seasons.'
Thornton's performance as Tommy, a petroleum landman facing a crisis at M-Tex Oil, earned him a Golden Globe nomination in the first season. This critical acclaim and the show's compelling narrative arc have fans eagerly awaiting the Season 2 finale, now streaming on Paramount+.
