Together they have a daughter, Luka May, while Thornton also has another daughter, Rona, and a son, Dylan, from a previous relationship. He has two brothers, Scott Thornton, an actor who played the role of Gonzo in ''Samson and Delilah (2009 film)'', and Rob Thornton who is an indigenous liaison officer in Cairns Base Hospital, Queensland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Warwick Thornton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
