Billy Bob Thornton tried to explain his crazy Canadian radio interview to Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday night.

"The fact that that was news was astounding to me, but it gave hump back geeks all over the world something to do for a couple days days... I do that all the time!" Thornton said. "It's not the first time...."

WATCH: Thonton's Kimmel interview.

Continued Thornton: "This woman said something she wasn't supposed to say, and I said I received signals from Venus through a metal plate in my head...I told a DJ to kiss my ass, that's all that happened."

Earlier this month, the actor-turned-singer, 53 became belligerent during a radio interview when asked about his Hollywood career. The next day, he was booed while performing with his band, the Boxmasters, the opening act for Willie Nelson .

The band canceled their Canadian tour a few nights later "due to one band member and several of the crew having the flu."

    I think he is a very good actor. I've collected every movie he's been in. His movie Slingblade is my favorite movie followed by Home Grown. I admit he's a bit eccentric but nothing wrong with his acting.

    He treats journalists and interviewers with contempt, like they're not worth his respect. I hate how he sees nothing wrong in being so rude and arrogant. It doesn't matter what career he has: Having basic courtesy is a staple of being civilized and considerate. He ought to be living alone in the woods with a double-barrel shotgun.

    He's so conceited! He thinks he affects people's lives for goodness sake! I doubt they cancelled the tour because of the flu. They were probably fired because he said some pretty inflammatory things about Canadians on that show. Who wants to pay money to see someone who insults you? I hope Willie fired them. I feel sorry for the band members having to put up with his %@!*#.

    er, have you people all been under a rock or what? He has a very successful film career on his own. The fact that he is a bit flakey is certainly not unusual in a star of any magnitude. I would never excuse someone for rude behavior, and I am not doing that now, but I am saying he is very successful on his own and doesnt need the reflected glow of his ex to illuminate him.
