Texas Embraced Taylor Sheridan, Hollywood Didn't, Thornton Says

Billy Bob Thornton says Hollywood wasn’t nice to Taylor Sheridan, but Texas welcomed him. Sheridan, who once lived in his car, has since built a vast Texas ranching empire (over 250,000 acres including the Four Sixes Ranch and Bosque Ranch) and created hit shows such as Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, Landman and Lioness. Thornton credits Sheridan’s authenticity and says the Texas environment fuels his storytelling, contrasting his LA experience with the real-life world Sheridan now draws on for his writing.

Texas Embrace Fueled Sheridan’s Rise, Thornton Says

Billy Bob Thornton says Hollywood wasn’t nice to Taylor Sheridan, but Texas welcomed him after he left L.A.; Sheridan, who rose from homelessness to create Yellowstone and other hits, pivoted from acting to screenwriting and built a large Texas ranching empire (including Four Sixes Ranch). Thornton notes the Lone Star State accepted Sheridan 100 percent because he’s authentic, and Sheridan now spends much of his time in Texas, using his ranches as meeting hubs and sources of storytelling material.

He described breakfast with blueberries and gluten-free, dairy-free chips later, and shared a green-room snack of grapes dipped in Dijon mustard that has become a go-to treat. The 70-year-old actor also touched on past drastic weight changes for roles but said he no longer does extreme body transformations, all while promoting Landman with Sam Elliott.
