Billy Bob Thornton has shared strong opinions about actors who advocate for their political stance while accepting an award.
As per the Oscar-winning actor, the person who is being conferred with the award should “just honor the people” who helped them win the award.
The Bad Santa star noted, “There is a time and place for that … you should just stick to what [the honor] is. Don’t go up there and talk about saving the badgers in Wisconsin or something – you know what I’m saying?”
Thornton added, “People would argue and say, ‘Well, no, because I have a voice and because everybody knows me. This is a great platform for me to put this out there.'”
While concluding, he said that if the star is really sincere about wanting to save critters and has “a billion dollars … [then]” they should “f*****save them.”
“I mean, you got plenty of money to save the badgers, trust me, that’s barely gonna cut into your budget.”
