Despite the short marriage, Billy considers his ex-wife a close person.
70-year-old Billy Bob Thornton candidly spoke about the reasons for the collapse of his marriage to Angelina Jolie, which lasted only three years.
The actress's second husband admitted that the separation was civilized, although rumors about the couple's strange relationship have circulated in the press repeatedly. Both are considered quite eccentric personalities and have often shocked the public with their behavior. "We just separated because our lifestyles were completely different," Thornton explained in an interview with Rolling Stone.
The actor has also repeatedly confirmed another version of the reasons for the divorce from Jolie. He stated that his and Angelina's views on life were very different. In particular, she dreamed of having a child, while Thornton was not ready to become a father.
Despite the short marriage, Billy Bob considers his ex-wife a close person. They communicate warmly, albeit rarely, and hold no grudges against each other. The artist also mentioned the vials of blood that he and Angelina wore around their necks as a sign of their bond. Thornton clarified that the story about the "blood" pendants was exaggerated by journalists. Inside the mini-vials was only a drop of blood, writes Daily Mail.
Thornton is a big fan of European football. He supports the British club Liverpool. Of all the cities in the world, he loves Paris the most. He owns a penthouse in the French capital.
His semi-starved youth undermined his health: he had to treat his heart a couple of times. Because of this, he became a hypochondriac and currently suffers from a whole bouquet of phobias.
Thornton's most well-known phobia is a panic fear of flying. The most exotic is a fear of antique furniture. Thornton has at least 6 tattoos on his body, mostly on his arms.
The actor has Irish blood from his father's ancestors, as well as Native American and Italian blood from his mother.
From 2000 to 2003, he was married to actress Angelina Jolie, who is 20 years younger than Thornton. In total, Thornton has had five wives. The actor has four biological children.
The star's favorite fashion accessory is a Houston Colt 45’s baseball cap. Whenever possible, he tries to wear it in his films. The mayor of the actor's hometown has decided to immortalize the name of their famous compatriot by declaring one day of the year Billy Bob Thornton Day.
In 2001, the actor overcame one of his bad habits — he quit smoking (which did not prevent his characters in the films "Bad Santa," "Faster than a Bullet," "Fargo," and "Goliath" from smoking).
