Billy Bob Thornton would still be married to Angelina Jolie if he liked travelling

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie’s marriage was a showbiz dream, with the couple regularly making out on the red carpet and wearing each other’s blood in vials around their neck.

So we were slightly devastated when they split up in 2002 after two years of marriage.

But it turns out we still could have been blessed with their zany antics even now if Billy Bob likes adventures a bit more.

The 62-year-old has revealed he ‘probably’ would still be married to Angelina if they shared the same lifestyles.

Speaking on the HFPA In Conversation podcast, the Fargo actor said: ‘We just had different lifestyles. Hers is a global lifestyle and mine is an agoraphobic lifestyle.

‘So that’s really, that’s the only reason we’re probably not still together, maybe. There was a different path in life we wanted to take.’

We’re sure that will be music to the ears of Billy Bob’s wife Connie Angland, who he married in 2014 after 11 years together and has a daughter with. Awks.

Billy Bob and Angelina – who is 20 years his junior – met on the set of Pushing Tin when Thornton was engaged to Laura Dern.

The stars began dating in 2000 and became famous for their eccentric displays of affection – notoriously wearing vials of each other’s blood around their necks.

But Billy Bob – who has been married six times – is keen to downplay the bizarreness of their jewellery.

He said: ‘The necklaces were a very simple thing. “Hey let’s poke our fingers with a pen and smear a little blood on there and when we’re away from each other we’ll wear the necklace.”It was that easy.

‘But by the time it came out in the press it sounded like we were wearing a bucket of blood around our necks.’

Despite their marriage ending in 2002, Billy Bob still admires his ex 16 years on.

He said: ‘Angie is still a friend of mine and she’s a great person and she’s done so much.

‘She makes movies that are important to her whether they succeed or fail, she still does what she believes in and I’ll always respect her for that.’

Angelina, 43, is currently working on a divorce settlement from estranged husband Brad Pitt, with the actress being ordered to allow the actor more access to their six children.
