Description
During a recent interview for USA Today, the Monster's Ball actor responded to rumours circulating online that he may be about to exit the popular Paramount+ series on which he plays petroleum landman and executive Tommy Norris. Addressing the reports, Thornton called them "AI-generated c**p”. ”There's an AI report that Demi and I are a couple now, and there's one that I'm leaving the show. They have nothing to do with reality," he said, referencing his Landman co-star, Demi Moore.
