Billy Bob Thornton, known for his lead role in the series “Landman,” has been showcasing a unique style lately. Embracing the rugged themes of the show, his fashion sense gained attention at the 2024 Country Music Awards—where he seemingly went overboard with his ensemble.
The end of his relationship with Angelina Jolie was partly attributed to his discomfort in elite social circles, and his latest red carpet appearance may reflect that sentiment. Dressed in a multi-layered outfit, Thornton conveyed a desire to be in his own world. When asked about whom he was eager to meet at the event, he humorously mentioned, “Probably my own soul,” which might be fitting given his over-the-top look.
Billy Bob Thornton candidly discusses his fashion preferences
Thornton’s recent fashion choices, including multiple silver chains and a guitar key ring, have left many surprised. During an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” he shared that he prefers to shop for jeans in the women’s section, citing issues with fit in men’s jeans. This choice, though unconventional, is perhaps preferable compared to the colorful headband often seen under his hats.
Thornton has previously made headlines for his eccentric style, such as when he and Jolie famously wore vials of each other’s blood. While those past choices were among the most surprising in celebrity fashion, his current “modern cowboy” look seems to echo a midlife crisis rather than a new fashion statement. Nevertheless, fans hope that the “Sling Blade” actor continues to explore different styles in the years ahead.
