Billy Bob Thornton Shares Awkward Moment With Ana Navarro on ‘The View’ After Noticing a Key on His Belt: ‘Ana, You Know What That Key is for’

Ana Navarro was just as confused as us when Billy Bob Thornton claimed she knew why he was wearing a certain accessory on this morning’s episode of The view.

The actor, who appeared on the show to promote his new series Landman, joined the co-hosts at the Hot Topics table near the end of the episode. When he took his place between Sunny Hostin and Navarro, the latter couldn’t help but look at his size.

“Billy, all these keys. Where are we going? What do they open? Navarro asked, referring to the keys he had attached to his belt buckle. With a rather seductive tone in his voice, Thornton replied, “Ana, you know what this key is for.”

Navarro laughed nervously, while Thornton added, “I’ve met you before.” A few times.

When Joy Behar tried to get to the bottom of the mystery by once again asking what the keys were for, Sara Haines and Hostin both responded, “Ana knows.” She will tell us later.

But Thornton continued to talk about his past with Navarro, who seemed increasingly confused.

“We’ve met several times over the years about things and…” Thornton said, before Navarro interjected to ask again, “And where are the keys?”

The response was nothing special, with Thornton explaining that they were “just for looks.”

“They are nice. Just don’t try to go through TSA with them,” Navarro joked, to which the actor replied, “Oh, believe me. It takes me forever to get out of it. But what I do is put them in a bag and put them away when I’m done with them.

The view airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
