Billy Bob Thornton Thought ‘Bad Santa’ Would End His Career
With the holiday season drawing near, it’s high time for cinephiles to dust off their favorite yuletide movies from years gone by. The 2003 dark comedy “Bad Santa” remains a popular choice, still gracing viewers’ must-see lists during this festive period, over twenty years since its debut. Led by the Academy Award-winning talent of Billy Bob Thornton, best recognized for his work on the film adaptation of “Sling Blade,” the movie showcases the uproarious escapades of a tipsy department store Santa named Willie. This character delights in cursing at children, flirting in dressing rooms, and pulling off robberies from retailers every Christmas Eve.
