On Howie Mandel's podcast, the 70-year-old said allergies and rare AB-negative blood, affecting under 1% of people, mean he avoids wheat, dairy, shellfish, pork and beef.
Thornton said he only realised later that not everyone felt ill after eating, and described an unusual snack discovery: grapes dipped in Dijon mustard at a Landman event.
The actor, now starring in Paramount+ series Landman, also said earlier this year he no longer undergoes drastic weight changes for roles after once gaining 60lb and later dropping to 128lb.

Is Billy Bob Thornton's extreme diet a health solution or a symptom of his lifelong OCD and anxiety?

Will his new series 'Landman' confront the Texas oil industry's environmental crisis or simply romanticize it?
