BILLY BOB THORNTON EXPLAINS THE REASON HE AND ANGELINA JOLIE DIDN'T STAY TOGETHER
The actors married in 2000 and their marriage lasted three years. He was her second and his fifth.
He is already far away and it is normal that many do not remember him. And more because the 'Brangelina' stage captivated us until the spell ended in September 2016. After separating from Jonny Lee Miller in 1999, Angelina Jolie married actor Billy Bob Thornton in May 2000, whom she met while filming the movie 'Out of Control'. The passion lasted three years.
But between the couple there has been no resentment. 15 years later, Thornton has nothing but good memories of that relationship. "I see that time as a great moment, Angie is still a great friend of mine and she is a great person," the 62-year-old actor said on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's HFPA In Conversation podcast this past Wednesday. "The movies that she makes of her are still things that are important to her ... and whether they succeed or fail, she still does what she believes in, and I will always respect her for that." Jolie was Thornton's fifth wife. She started the relationship with Brad Pitt in 2005 and they became one of the most envied couples in the world. They got married in 2014 and two years later the relationship ended. Thornton is currently married to Connie Angland.
The reason Jolie and Thornton didn't work out is because "they just had different lifestyles," the actor explained. "His is a global lifestyle and mine is agoraphobic. So, it's really the only reason we're probably not together yet, you know, because we wanted a different path to the life we wanted to take."
In addition to that, Thornton said that his relationship with the actress was "exaggerated" by the media, including the anecdote of the necklaces they wore bearing the other's blood. "They were something very simple," he explained. "'' Hey, let's pin our finger and smear a little here, and when we're away from each other, we'll put the necklace on. ' It was that easy, but when it came out in the press it sounded like we were wearing a bucket of blood around our necks. "
Thorton seemed to have different memories of his time with Jolie during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2014, calling their marriage a "crazy stage", acknowledging that he was never "proud of it." Jolie instead commented on the necklaces: "It was never a vial anyway ... it was kind of romantic." On the other hand, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2016, in the middle of a divorce from Pitt, she declared that she was "proud to have been his wife for a while".
Angelina is now shooting the second part of 'Maleficent', scheduled for 2020. Thornton, who has worked on the series 'Goliath' and 'Fargo', has just finished shooting 'A million little pieces' with Charlie Hunnam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson among others.
