Billy Bob Thornton still refuses to acknowledge how big of a jerk-wad he was during that infamous radio interview the other day -- the one where he got all pissy because nobody takes him as a serious musician -- but now he's backing off one of his stupid statements...
Originally, BBT said playing for Canadian audiences was like "mashed potatoes without the gravy" -- but yesterday he said he meant to diss the interviewer and not our neighbors to the North.
Nobody was buying his pre-show mea culpa though -- the audience reportedly booed the crap out of him and his wannabe band during a gig in Toronto.
Billy Bob Thornton transformed into a condescending, pompous jerkwad -- live on the radio today -- when the station DJ casually brought up Billy's acting career.
See, Billy Bob has a band now ... and he demands to be taken seriously -- as in, Billy demanded that the radio host treat him like he would treat Tom Petty.
Seriously, Billy compared himself to Tom Petty.
It all went down today during a CBC interview -- Jian Ghomeshi, the interviewer, introduced the band -- including a few words about Billy's film career -- which caused Billy to become a massive d-bag for the rest of the interview.
You gotta watch it -- unless you wanna continue to like Billy Bob.
NOTE: The best parts... at the :30 mark, 1:12, 2:36 and pretty much everything between 5:00 - 10:00.
