Washington DC, June 16
Actor Billy Bob Thornton, who shares screen space with Demi Moore in 'Landman', shared that his co-star Moore could not recollect working with him on the set of Indecent Proposal over 34 years ago, reported People.
The Television Academy in North Hollywood hosted a buzzworthy FYC event for 'Landman' earlier this month. The TV drama created by Taylor Sheridan exploded on Paramount+ in November 2024, becoming the platform's biggest premiere in two years. Starring Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore, 'Landman' dives deep into the gritty, high-stakes world of the Texas oil industry, drawing inspiration from the acclaimed Boomtown podcast, as per the outlet.
The ensemble cast included John Hamm, Andy Garcia, Jacob Lofland, and Ali Larter. 'Landman' is quickly becoming a cornerstone of Sheridan's storytelling legacy.
Thornton revealed more about his multifaceted character, Tommy Norris, during a recent event for the program. He also discussed navigating Hollywood on his own terms, shared that Moore worked with her before reuniting for 'Landman' but she didn't remember it.
When the moderator, Stacey Wilson Hunt, asked Moore how she met Thornton, the 62-year-old actress acknowledged to being reminded by her co-star.
"She didn't remember me," Thornton revealed.
The two first met while working together on the 1993 drama directed by Adrian Lyne. However, Thornton played a small part in the film, so the two became more acquainted years later, reported People.
"We got to know each other because I did three movies with Bruce [Willis]," he added. "And you brought the kids to set all the time. So over the years we've known each other."
Thornton and Bruce Willis' first film together was Armageddon in 1998. Since then, the duo has starred in Bandits (2001) and The Astronaut Farmer (2006).
Moore married Willis in 1987, but they ended up divorcing in 2000. The pair share three daughters together, although Willis went on to welcome two more with his current wife and model, Emma Heming.
'Landman' was primarily shot in the Fort Worth area of Texas, a location familiar to Sheridan. He's used the region as a backdrop for several of his other series as well, including 1883, Yellowstone, and Lawmen: Bass Reeves, reported People.

Interesting how Hollywood stars forget working together while Indian actors remember every co-star from decades ago! Our film industry is more close-knit I guess. Looking forward to Landman though - Taylor Sheridan's shows are always gripping. 🤩
Must be awkward for Thornton but understandable after 34 years! I barely remember my college classmates 😅. More interested in the Texas oil industry backdrop - we need similar shows about India's business stories. Our Reliance saga would make great drama!
Hollywood reunions always fascinate me. In Bollywood, stars would never admit forgetting someone - too much ego involved! Sheridan's shows are brilliant but I wish they'd cast more diverse actors. Where are the Indian-origin characters in these American stories?
The Bruce Willis connection is nostalgic! Grew up watching their films. But honestly, why make news out of someone not remembering? In our industry, actresses face enough scrutiny without adding "memory tests". Let's focus on their current work instead.
Texas oil industry drama sounds exciting! Reminds me of our own ONGC stories. Hope Paramount+ becomes available in India soon. Also, 34 years is a long gap - even SRK and Juhi might not remember their first ad shoot together 😄
