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 has currently been married to his sixth wife, Connie Angland, for over 20 years. He was married to Jolie from 2000 to 2003.
“So,” he told the outlet, “I found the right place. The other times I got married, it was like you had a little too much to drink one night and someone said, ‘We should get married.’ You say, “Yeah, okay. “I always tell people, at least I was trying.”
“It was one of the greatest moments of my life,” Thornton said of Jolie. “She and I are still very, very close friends. And that was the one that ended up being a really civilized breakup. We just grew apart because our lifestyles were so different.”
“When we met, I was the most famous,” he said. “And then when we got together, for some reason people and the media are so interested in celebrity couples, it seems to be a very popular thing. So it was weird. We couldn’t get anywhere. I mean, we did, and then of course we had moments where we would say things that became sound bites or whatever.”
