If you’ve never got around to seeing the rather crude holiday movie Bad Santa, it follows a sad old drunk mall Santa, played by Billy Bob Thorton. His character is essentially beyond wasted throughout the entire movie, so Billy Bob figured he would do the same. He even went on record, noting that “[i]f you’re going to play a guy like this you can’t go halfway drunk, you know. And I wasn’t kind of drunk. You have to go completely into it”. Apparently, this wasn’t too hard for Billy Bob who says he doesn’t mind having a drink or two.
