Angelina Jolie’s ex Billy Bob Thornton has proved that some Hollywood love stories don’t fade.
The Oscar winner and the Maleficent actress tied the knot in 2000, but parted ways in 2003.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone published in November 17, the American actor opened up about his time with Brad Pitt’s ex.
Despite a short-lived marriage, the Landman actor called their marriage ‘one of the greatest times of my life’.
Their union made headlines with the media obsessing over every move of the power couple.
From the red-carpet appearances to the famous lockets that contained drops of each other’s blood, everything was scrutinized.
The two ‘couldn’t go anywhere’ and whatever they said became sound bites.
Looking back at the time, he admitted that their split was ‘really civilized’.
The two parted ways due to difference in lifestyles rather than animosity.
He confessed that the two are ‘still very, very close friends’.
It is pertinent to note that Jolie echoes the sentiment.
The Eternals actress shared in a candid conversation with Entertainment Weekly that she still has love for her ex-husband.
She even mentioned that she is ‘proud to have been his wife for a time’.
They are not the only couple who have proved that friendship can outlast romance.
Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis are among the rare group of celebrity exes who remain cordial after breakup.
