Billy Bob Thornton admits his brief marriage to Angelina Jolie was a ‘fun time together.
The ‘Landman’ actor admits in a recent interview with Rolling Stone that he is still close friends with Jolie.
Thornton is currently married to sixth wife Connie Angland for over 20 years. He was married to Jolie from 2000-2003.
“So,” he told the outlet, “I found the right place to be. The other times I got married, it was like you had a little too much to drink one night and somebody said, ‘We’re going to get married.’ You go, ‘Yeah, okay.’ I always tell people, at least I tried.”
“It was one of the greatest times of my life,” Thornton said when talking about Jolie. “She and I are still very, very close friends. And that’s what ended up being a really civilized breakup. We just broke up because our lifestyles were so different.”
“When we met, I was the more famous,” he said. “And then when we got together, for whatever reason, people and the media are very interested in celebrity couples, it seems to be a very popular thing. So it was weird. We couldn’t go anywhere. We mean, we did, and then of course we had times where we said things that became soundbites or whatever.”
