A HOLLYWOOD actor has been dubbed as ‘unrecognisable’ by viewers of The One Show, after he appeared on the programme alongside Jon Hamm.

The acting icons were on the show to promote their Paramount+ series Landman, but many BBC viewers couldn’t recognise one of the actors, who wore two hats.

It was indeed Billy Bob Thornton, 69, who has starred in the likes of Bad Santa, Fargo, Goliath, Sling Blade and many more films.

On social media, someone said: “What on earth is Billy Bob Thornton wearing on his head on The One Show? He looks really odd.”

A second person questioned: “Anyone watching The One Show? What is Billy Bob Thornton wearing?”

Others were quick to add that they thought the actor looked unrecognisable with his tilted trilby hat and dark beard.

Billy Bob Thornton is an actor, writer, director, and musician.

He has been married six times and has four children from three different women.

In 2000, Billy Bob briefly married Angelina Jolie, but their divorce was finalised in 2003.

Billy Bob has appeared in over 50 movies and television shows, making his debut in the late 1980s.

Billy and Jon joined Alex Jones and Clara Amfo for the chat about their new series.

And actor Billy has a leading role in Landman.

Discussing his role, Billy said: “Landman is certainly, I guess you’d call it a lot of ways the foreman, he deals with all the people in the oil fields, and his boss which is Jon. 

“There’s a lot of pressure to make sure all of that comes off in a very dangerous world. He’s got the weight of the world on his shoulders.

“Tommy has a sense of humour, but there’s a lot of pressure all the time, as John said this is about how you get this oil out of the ground, and how it affects the people around you, your family and friends.

“There’s a character, who plays my son who wants to do this and it’s lilke telling our children ‘’don’t be an actor’’ one way or another, it’s a very high pressure job.”

He continued: “A lot of people think billionaires stay billionaires, but in the oil business it’s a gamble, and it’s my job to make sure he doesn’t.”

Lamorne Morris has detailed his underlying depression during his TV career.

The New Girl actor, 41, who starred in the much loved sit-com alongside Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield and Zooey Deschanel, admitted he particularly struggled while filming the series “Prince” episode, which guest starred the “Kiss” singer, who played himself.

In the episode, Deschanel’s character Jess is invited to a party at Prince’s house, which Morris’ character Winston and the rest of their housemates also blag their way into.

Despite dubbing the episode as one of his “favourite” New Girl instalments from the seven season show, Morris admitted it was the “worst episode to film” due to his mental health struggles.

Speaking on Podcrushed, the actor explained: “I just remember doing a scene, then going in my trailer and just crying for no reason.”

Morris revealed he struggled to identify why his mood was low because “everything was going great” in his life and he wanted to be grateful.

“Work was going great. Everybody was healthy in my family. It was like, ‘What am I complaining about?’” he said. “I didn’t know. I couldn’t pinpoint it to anything.”

It was only when Morris’ then-girlfriend helped him change his diet, cooked him healthy foods and made him “fresh juice in the morning” that Morris noticed his mood had “shifted”.

The actor shared that he also started going on hikes and being more active. “Before I know it, those [depressive] days are over,” he said.

Morris added that he can now look back on working with Prince, who died two years after appearing on New Girl, with fondness.

“There was so much fanfare around it and so much mystique around him,” he said. “And when you meet him, you’re like, ‘I see why. This man is illuminating. And he’s got so many tassels and zippers.’”

The Fargo star continued: “He was so nice and just soft-spoken and very kind and gentle in the way he would talk to people. So that was a really cool experience.”

Back in September, Morris spoke about the possibility of a New Girl reunion at the 2024 Emmy Awards, claiming his co-star Johnson was the only reason it hadn’t already taken place.

“Everybody is on the same page that we want to, except for Jake Johnson,” he joked. “Jake Johnson, man, you’ve been a problem.

“We all love the fans so much that we want to give them what they want. What’s wrong, Jake? You don’t love the fans?” Morris questioned.

“Jake Johnson hates the fans!”

It now appears that James and Sophie are officially husband and wife.

According to OK!, the soap took to his Facebook page to update his relationship status.

James changed his status from ‘in a relationship’ to ‘married’ and tagged his new wife Sophie in the post.

Sophie has changed her surname from Edwards to Moore.

Last May the couple revealed their happy news.

James took to Instagram to share sweet pictures from their engagement.

The couple were all smiles as they posed with their cat – and Sophie showed off her amazing pink ring.

He captioned it: “we got engaged!!!! (ft our cat).”

The happy couple have been together since 2019.

They celebrated their second anniversary back in 2021.

Sharing some selfies together, he wrote: “2 years. I can’t believe it. We’ve had 2 amazing, happy, incredible years together.

“We’ve come so far from where we started. We live together, we have our own little fur baby, and we are stronger than ever.

“I’m so thankful for your support and encouragement and just pure, absolute love that you give me each and every day, and I can’t wait to make some new memories with you in the years to come.

“Happy anniversary, I love you 💖❤️”

James joined Emmerdale in 2018.

The star has ataxic cerebral palsy, the same disability as his character Ryan has.

Last year he confessed that he didn’t believe he was going to be able to make it as an actor.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, he said: “A lot of it I think was my own personal struggle, my own mental struggle.

“I didn’t believe that I could do it – but it wasn’t for lack of trying.”

He added: “But I got into the National Youth Theatre and found my agent and it was like a steamroller from that point.”

A MAGA supporter has sparked outrage in a Massachusetts town for projecting an edited version of The Punisher skull logo wearing Donald Trump’s hair.

The day after the Republican nominee triumphed in the 2024 election, an image associated with the popular comic book character topped with the president-elect’s well-known hairstyle was displayed on a water tower in the Town of Hanson.

Bright floodlights have since been brought in to illuminate the tower and prevent the orange logo from being visible.

“Earlier today, the Town of Hanson discontinued measures put in place to block a political image being projected onto a Town-owned water tower,” Town Administrator Lisa Green said in a statement on Wednesday (November 6), according to local news channel NBC10 Boston.

“Regrettably, the party involved in the image projection resumed projecting today and as a result we have had to yet again take measures to block the projected image.”

In October, the same resident, who officials have not publicly identified, had projected a “Trump 2024” sign on the water tower.

The resident was reportedly sent a cease and desist letter at the time by officials for violating town bylaws, which prohibit “the display of political symbols or signage on government property” as the town “does not endorse any political candidate, party or platform in any election.”

While the resident is said to have agreed to take down the initial “Trump 2024” signage, they refused to sign a pledge agreeing not to project onto the water tower again.

“The Town is duty-bound to enforce those bylaws and is committed to taking whatever action is necessary to prevent future violations,” Green added.

The small town, located 20 miles south of Boston, skewed red in the 2024 presidential election, with Trump receiving 54.7 percent of the votes compared to 43.5 percent for Vice President Kamala Harris, per official election results.

The menacing skull logo made popular by the Marvel Punisher comics has in recent years been embraced by far-right extremist groups, including white nationalists and the neo-fascist Proud Boys.

It was a symbol worn by several January 6 rioters who stormed The Capitol following the 2020 presidential election.

It is also an emblem adopted by police who opposed Black Lives Matter protestors in 2020. The Punisher creator Gerry Conway later encouraged fans to help him reclaim the symbol.

“I’m looking for young comic-book artists of color who’d like to participate in a small fundraising project for #BLM to reclaim the Punisher skull as a symbol of justice rather than lawless police oppression,” Conway tweeted in June 2020.

“As to the debate over whether the Punisher symbol can ever be a symbol for justice – I agree that’s an open question,” he added.

“What it must *not* be is a symbol of oppression. I want to deny police the use of the symbol by claiming it for BLM. Call it irony.”

Jay Leno has shared his thoughts on Donald Trump’s win over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 US presidential election, calling the results “a great day for democracy.”

The former Tonight Show host appeared on the CBS daytime show The Talk on Wednesday (November 6), the same day the former president declared victory over the Democratic nominee. Trump surpassed the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency, as well as more than 50 percent of the popular vote.

“The nice thing about this election is it was fair, it was honest,” Leno told co-host Natalie Morales. “I was not a fan, but that’s okay. It’s the president of the United States, let’s all get together, thank you very much.”

“There was no cheating, everybody says it was honest,” he added, seemingly referring to Trump’s repeated claims that President Joe Biden’s victory in 2020 was stolen from him. “It’s a great day for democracy.”

Elsewhere during Leno’s appearance, he reflected on his days hosting NBC’s The Tonight Show, from 1992 to 2009. The 74-year-old comedian claimed “it was different in my day” to host following an election because “you kind of made fun of both sides.”

“You got angry letters from both sides. Now you kind of have to take a side,” Leno admitted.

On Wednesday evening, late night hosts didn’t hold back their disappointment over Trump’s reelection to a second term in the White House. Jimmy Kimmel struggled to hold back tears at the start of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, as he emphasized Trump’s 34 felony counts handed down earlier this year.

“We chose the criminal,” Kimmel said. “More than half of this country voted for the criminal who is planning to pardon himself for his crimes. I guess this election wasn’t rigged.”

While Kimmel found time for comedy, he grew emotional when he said: “It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants who make this country go, for health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech.”

He continued: “It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on social security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for the truth, and democracy and decency.

“And it was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him. And guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too – you just don’t realize it yet.”

Jimmy Fallon opted to roast Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, over their return to the White House as he joked that Americans had “decided to get back with their crazy ex.”

“No matter who you voted for, I think all Americans can agree it’s going to be a rough Thanksgiving,” he said on The Tonight Show. “Of course, Trump’s already super busy. First, he’s got to move all those classified documents back into the White House.

“Republicans were thrilled until they realized there is going to be four more years of Melania’s Christmas decorations.”

Meanwhile, The Daily Show host Desi Lydic simply had a five-word question for voters who elected the country’s first convicted felon as president: “What the actual f***, America?”

Adrian Chiles has opened up on how being axed from a TV show meant work ‘suddenly dried up’ after a 20 year career, admitting ‘suddenly I was earning a lot less.’

He presented Match of the Day 2 and co-presented the One Show until 2010 when he signed with ITV Sport. However, when ITV terminated his contract in 2015, his finances began to spiral downward.

He also revealed that he struggled with a battle with booze and anxiety after being axed from the ITV breakfast show Daybreak in 2011.

In an interview with The Guardian, the Radio 5, presenter said:

“The ups and downs with my income have been stressful over the years, but I’ve always been quite careful with money.

“I never spent more than I had.

“When I joined ITV, I started earning a lot of money, which was weird.

“Then things went the other way, and suddenly, I was earning a lot less.

But he also confesses that he remains “relatively well off by anybody’s standards.”

“There was a moment when I was earning more, and I bought a flat…

I sat at this huge bloody table and thought: What am I doing?

“What madness is this?

It was a real moment of realisation for me. I didn’t regret buying the flat, but I tried to buy less stuff after that.”

He concluded: “The more you have, the more you spend. If I won the lottery, I’d probably spend it all on an ad campaign saying: Buy Less Stuff.”

When he does splurge, he says that the most frivolous thing he bought recently was a compass for his car dashboard.

“Suddenly, I wanted to know which direction I was driving in.”

Adrian has hosted BBC One’s satirical news quiz, Have I Got News for You. He has also presented Working Lunch and The Money Programme, Panorama, various documentaries, and The Apprentice, which is called The Apprentice Your Fired.

He also appeared on a Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special in 2021.

Adrian presents the Radio 5 weekday mid-morning show every Thursday and Friday from 10am to 1pm.
