Billy Bob Thornton<\/a> “never got over being nervous around” Johnny Cash.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Billy Bob Thornton has opened up about his friendship with Johnny Cash<\/p>\n

The actor and musician worked with the late country legend on a cover of his track ‘I Still Miss Someone’ and Billy has admitted he never felt comfortable around his idol – even when they became pals and he stayed over at Johnny house – revealing he was too scared to come out of his bedroom in case he bumped into him.<\/p>\n

He told the Guardian newspaper: “I never got over being nervous around Johnny Cash<\/a> because it was like God walked in the room. <\/p>\n

“I stayed at his house a couple of times and I did not want to get caught in my drawers looking in his refrigerator. <\/p>\n

“So I just stayed in my room all night long. But he was very kind to me.”<\/p>\n

\nHe added of their work together: “We did a duet together of one of his songs, ‘I Still Miss Someone’, that I\u2019ve never put out.<\/p>\n

\n“Cash said to me: ‘What\u2019s your idea, son?’ And I said: ‘Well, I thought we\u2019d do the first verse and bridge and then you could do your recitation.’<\/p>\n

\n“This was at a point where Johnny was in a little more ill health. And I said: ‘Then you do the recitation and then we\u2019ll come back and do the last verse and bridge.’<\/p>\n

\n“And he said: ‘Yeah, that sounds good to me’. And then he said: ‘I might even have an idea or two myself. After all I wrote the f****** thing.’<\/p>\n

\n“And I was like: ‘Yes, sir, sorry’.”<\/p>\n

\nThe Man In Black died in 2003, and Billy revealed Cash left him a special reminder of their time together.<\/p>\n

\nHe added: “He wrote a story about that day on four pieces of notebook paper. It was partly truth, partly fiction. <\/p>\n

\n“And on the last page are three autographs by him: ‘John R Cash’, ‘Johnny Cash’, ‘John Cash’. <\/p>\n

\n“And I said: ‘John, why did you write three autographs on that paper?’ He says: ‘Son, if you ever get broke, cut those into three pieces and you\u2019ll be all right’.”<\/p>\n
