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.

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.”
