In a light-hearted interview on 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' Michelle Randolph, who stars opposite Billy Bob Thornton in the new series 'Landman,' revealed a funny anecdote about preparing for her role. She confessed that before filming, she could only think about the notorious rumor surrounding Thornton's past relationship with Angelina Jolie — specifically, the claim that he once drank her blood. Randolph reached out to Thornton with this curious question during their time together on set.

Randolph's portrayal of Thornton during the interview painted him as completely unfazed by her inquiry. She described him as embodying 'ease' and highlighted how his laid-back demeanor contributes to his acting prowess. Rather than being intimidated by his impressive career, Randolph found that Thornton's ability to pull honesty from his co-stars made her feel settled and more at ease on set. This relaxed atmosphere is essential for creating believable performances in front of the camera.

The exchange not only highlights the camaraderie gained through shared experiences on the show, but also serves to remind the audience of the intriguing and often humorous side of celebrity culture that surrounds figures like Thornton. Randolph’s candidness about her curiosity reflects a natural human inclination to explore the myths and stories surrounding significant public figures, lending a touch of levity to an otherwise serious world of acting.
