Thornton said he often grabs simple items before work — a bowl of blueberries and decaf — and at home enjoys gluten-free chips with dairy-free cream cheese. He joked about growing up with lots of allergies in Arkansas and Texas and learning to live around limitations rather than being defined by them.
Between tales of bagels with cream cheese and ketchup and a green-room discovery with co-star Sam Elliott, Thornton described finding joy in unlikely combos. He recalled dipping a grape in spicy Dijon and calling it one of the best bites he ever had, proof that restrictions haven't killed his appetite for experimentation.
