Michelle Randolph asked her Landman ‘dad’ Billy Bob Thornton about drinking his ex Angelina Jolie’s blood


Landman star Michelle Randolph posed an interesting question to her onscreen father Billy Bob Thornton once she got more comfortable with him on the set of their hit Paramount+ show.

‘Most of my scenes are with him, and I’m thinking, “God, like what, all I know is that he drank Angelina Jolie‘s blood or something,”‘ the 28-year-old actress said on The Drew Barrymore Show Wednesday.

‘Which I since have asked him about. I can’t lie.’

The 70-year-old Oscar winner was engaged to his Daddy and Them leading lady Laura Dern and the 50-year-old Oscar winner was dating her Playing God co-star Timothy Hutton when the couple fell in love on the set of their film Pushing Tin in 1998.

Jolie famously donned a white T-shirt with ‘Billy Bob’ written in blood during their 2000 Las Vegas nuptials (she also tattooed his name on her shoulder), and she acquired his ‘n’ hers grave plots for their first wedding anniversary.

‘We each had a little locket, literally with a drop of blood in them,’ Thornton explained to Rolling Stone last November.

‘That’s a romantic little idea, and that’s all that was. But by the time it’s over, we’re vampires. We live in a dungeon, we drink each other’s blood, and this kind of stuff.’

But the marriage between the six-time divorced father of four and the Couture producer-star ended three years later.

‘That was one of the greatest times of my life. She and I are still very, very close friends,’ Thornton noted.

‘And that was the one that ended up being a really civilized breakup. We simply split up because our lifestyles were so different.’

Randolph – who portrays Tommy Norris’s cheerleader daughter Ainsley – went on to describe The Boxmasters frontman as ‘ease’ personified.

‘That’s why he’s so good at what he does,’ the Napa Valley-born blonde told Barrymore.

‘You think someone with his résumé is going to be so intimidating, but instead, he’s such a great actor because he pulls honesty out of you, and he settles you in a scene and in life. I tend to talk a lot and move fast, and he just makes me want to just chill.’

As for her onscreen mother Ali Larter, Randolph said they really bonded on set because they were each other’s support system, especially during season one.

‘We didn’t know what we had gotten ourselves. I mean, we were so excited to be there, but going, how do our characters fit into this very dramatic show?’ the 1923 star explained.
