Billy Bob Thornton shared his family roots explaining, "When I was growing up, my family thought we were Irish... I traced my family history all the way back and my dad's family are from the Liverpool and Lancashire area." This deep connection to Liverpool facilitated his affinity for the club, saying, "I always loved those people, from when I first came to play at the Cavern Club years ago with my solo band."
Discussing how he has embraced his fandom, Thornton recollected how a friend gave him a Liverpool shirt in the early 2000s. He fondly reminisced, "I have not been to Anfield yet but once delayed a gig at the Cavern so I could watch Liverpool on TV with another friend, Gerry Marsden." This highlights the lengths he has gone to merge his musical career with his football passion.
