Several years ago, Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie were the Hollywood "It" couple that were known for their bizarre displays of affection, such as wearing a vial of one another's blood in a locket around their necks. They divorced in 2003, but in the wake of Jolie's split from Brad Pitt, Thornton dished on his past relationship with the Maleficent actress in an interview with GQ magazine.
61-year-old Thornton and his former flame Angelina first met on the set of Pushing Tin in 1999. They later marred in 2000, but Thornton expressed that they always had their differences from the start.
While Angelina was more interested in her involvement with the United Nations, Thornton would rather spend his time relaxing at his home and watching sports. He explained that this made him feel inadequate to her.
"I never felt good enough for her," Thornton said. Even though he has been a Hollywood superstar for decades, Thornton said that he is "real uncomfortable around rich and important people."
Despite feeling inadequate to Angelina, Billy Bob did not feel as if he needed to alter his lifestyle.
"I like how I am," Thornton said.
Thornton and Jolie got a divorce in 2003, but according to the Bad Santa actor, the pair still has a friendly relationship. They chat every few months or so when they can find a free moment in their busy schedules.
Currently, Thornton is married to his sixth wife and long-time partner Connie Angland. The couple have a 12-year-old child together, but it took Thornton years before proposing to Angland.
"I didn't want her to be called number six. You know?" Thornton said.
