Viewers are outraged after the latest episode of a hit TV series showcased Billy Bob Thornton’s manhood in full, leaving little to the imagination.
Viewers got a little more than they bargained for in Sunday night’s episode (December 28) of a drama series.
The show is an American neo-Western drama, which follows the story of crisis executive, Tommy Norris (played by Thornton).
What is the series?
The synopsis reads: “Deep in the heart of West Texas, roughnecks and wildcat billionaires try to get rich quick in the oil business as oil rigs begin to dominate the state.
“Crisis executive Tommy Norris tries to bring his company to the top during a fuelling boom.”
Some viewers were left less than impressed when a ‘fully erect’ manhood belonging to actor Thornton appeared on their screens.
‘He’s incredible’
Speaking about the actor with People, his co-star who plays Angela Norris, Ali Larter, said: “He brings out the best in me.
“In our world, when we’re working together, there’s just never an inauthentic beat, and that is incredible. I love him so much.”
She later added that Thornton is ‘one of the best actors working in our business.’
The actor was formerly married to Angelina Jolie, between 2000 and 2003.
Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie’s marriage
Speaking about their relationship with the Rolling Stones magazine, Thornton said: “That was one of the greatest times of my life.
“She and I are still very, very close friends. And that was the one that ended up being a really civilised breakup.”
He added: “We simply split up because our lifestyles were so different.”
‘Why is this on my TV?’
Despite the on-screen bond between Thornton and Norris appearing just as solid as their off-screen relationship, viewers weren’t quite sold by what they saw in one episode.
One fan wrote: “Why is Billy Bob Thornton pitching a tent on my tv screen?”
While another said: “I mean how much must you run out of plot ideas if you have to resort to showing d***?
“There’s already been plenty of a** but now we need d*** apparently.”
After watching the scene, set in a hotel room, a third added: “I have some time free for a few months and was thinking of getting a job in a hotel, but seeing that I am definitely not gonna do that anymore.”
Others weren’t as bothered by the ‘fully erect’ manhood, as one said: “First opening scene of new episode was priceless. Too funny.”
Another added: “I know this is an unpopular opinion but I actually really like Angela.
“I love the Tommy and Angela’s relationship. I’m sorry.”
As a third wrote: “This is the greatest television I’ve seen in my life, I’m calling it right now.”
A bold statement.
Alongside the two stars, others in the series include Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Jacob Lofland and Michelle Randolph.
The controversial scene…
Thornton’s manhood was revealed when his character, Norris, accidentally exposed himself to a hotel waitress.
He woke up in bed with his wife, while the waitress was trying to deliver room service.
When the girl saw he was naked from the waist down, she shouted, ‘Don’t r*** me!’
In the scene, Norris replied: “Who the f*** are you?”
“I’m not gonna r*** you.”
“Put your d*** away,” his wife, played by Larter, added.
“Don’t be scared, darling. That wasn’t about you.
“He runs into door jambs all morning with that thing. So sorry about that.”
His wife added: “I was trying to surprise you with breakfast in bed…That is not the best angle of your b***s***, I might add.
“I’d scream too.”
Mocking her husband, she continued: “You know, you really gotta love a man to look at him from there.
“Poor thing, if she wasn’t a lesbian when she walked in here, she’s a f***ing lesbian now.”
