You may remember Billy Bob Thornton from any of the numerous movies and TV shows he's done or the music he's released with his band "The Boxmasters," but you may not know about his unconditional love for Texas, even though he doesn't consider himself a "pure blood Texan."

You’ve probably heard of the popular series “Landman” streaming on Paramount Plus, starring the legendary Billy Bob Thornton as the title character, but did you know it was filmed in Texas?

It seems like an easy answer, but even recent, notable films that are supposed to be set in Texas, like "Hit Man" and "The Iron Claw," were filmed in Louisiana.
