Billy Bob Thornton is an American actor, singer-songwriter, and director. He is known for his roles in films such as Sling Blade (1996), Armageddon (1998), Monster’s Ball (2001), and Bad Santa (2003). He has also directed several films, including Sling Blade and Daddy and Them (2001).
Thornton’s recent surge in popularity on Google Trends US-MS is likely due to his role in the new film Bad Santa 2 (2016). The film is a sequel to the 2003 film Bad Santa, in which Thornton played the title role of Willie Soke, a foul-mouthed, alcoholic department store Santa Claus.
Bad Santa 2 has received mixed reviews from critics, but it has been a financial success, grossing over $50 million worldwide. Thornton’s performance in the film has been praised by some critics, who say that he brings his usual charm and wit to the role.
Thornton’s success in Bad Santa 2 is a reminder of his versatility as an actor. He is able to play a wide range of roles, from the sympathetic protagonist of Sling Blade to the unlikable antihero of Bad Santa. He is one of the most talented actors working today, and his recent surge in popularity is well-deserved.
