In an interview with GQ magazine, Billy Bob Thornton shared that during his marriage to Angelina Jolie from 2000 to 2003, she was busy with acting and humanitarian work. Meanwhile, he just wanted a peaceful life at home and more leisure time together. “I never felt like I was good enough for her,” Billy Bob admitted.
Despite being madly in love, Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton decided to part ways due to their incompatible lifestyles. Despite being a renowned actor himself, Billy felt uncomfortable being surrounded by Hollywood A-listers as Angelina’s husband: “I really felt out of place when meeting important and wealthy people.” Billy admitted that he didn’t want to change his way of life to maintain the marriage with Angelina: “I like living as myself.”
Even after their divorce, Billy Bob Thornton still maintains a close relationship with Angelina and occasionally calls to check on her. He also hasn’t removed the tattoo of Jolie’s name from his leg. Another tattoo of Jolie on his arm was later covered with an angel by the actor. “Look, it’s still there. You can see her name,” Billy revealed to GQ magazine reporters.
Jolie is the fifth wife of Billy Bob Thornton, but she is one of the women that Billy has deep feelings for. After splitting with Angelina, Billy dated and married makeup artist Connie Angland. So far, his marriage with Connie is still very happy. Meanwhile, Angelina had a well-known romance with Brad Pitt. However, after 12 years together, Jolie-Pitt recently divorced, leaving many fans feeling regretful.
