Billy Bob Thornton spoke about the collapse of his marriage with Angelina Jolie. Billy Bob Thornton spoke about the difficulties in his marriage to Angelina Jolie

All fans of the popular actress Angelina Jolie are so accustomed to the fact that she is with Brad Pitt that it seems that they have been together all their lives. However, this is far from true, because before her strong marriage to Pitt, Jolie was already married. Then she believed that the union was strong and for life. So, in 2000, Angelina Jolie tied the knot with Billy Bob Thornton. However, even before this marriage, the star had a lot of lovers, so Jolie was not always such an exemplary wife and mother as she is now. In addition to her marriage to Billy Bob in 1996, Angelina married Jonny Lee Miller for exactly one year. The relationship of the Hollywood actress with a Japanese woman, Jenny Shimizu, became no less stuttering.

Angelina Jolie and Bob Thornton - love until blood

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie lived in marriage, love and understanding for only three years, and in 2003 it finally broke up. The couple met on the set of the film Flight Control, after which they began a very stormy romance. Their relationship was strong and passionate. Developing with rapid force, the romance ultimately led to marriage. Few people know, but when the romance between Jolie and Thornton had already begun, the actor was engaged to actress Laura Dern. In order to develop his relationship with Jolie, Bob broke off the engagement and devoted himself entirely to the beauty.

Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton assure that their relationship has always been trusting. No one could have thought that their seemingly strong marriage would fall apart, because they swore eternal fidelity and love on blood in the literal sense of the word. So, Angelina purchased special bottles, which she and Bob filled with their blood and exchanged. In addition, their love for each other was expressed in the fact that they got tattoos of their names on their shoulders. They could indulge in passion even in public and not be at all ashamed of it. It was a fantastic relationship that, as Bob Thornton said in one of his interviews, happens once in a lifetime.

Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, whose wedding took place in a small church in May 2000 in Las Vegas, brought them a huge amount of emotions. It was not a lavish event with tuxedos and dresses with many celebrity guests. Quite the contrary, they were wearing jeans, T-shirts and cheap rings. The whole ceremony took a few minutes at most, and then the newlyweds did not waste a minute and went to fulfill their marital duty.

After breaking up, Angelina Jolie and Thornton do not communicate. For the actress, this divorce was not easy, and she told the press that she was not going to get married again. Even after meeting Brad Pitt, she was in no hurry to officially register her relationship. Only after nine years of marriage did both Jolie and Pitt get married.

Some touches to the portrait of a woman with an impeccable reputation look especially piquant.

1. The actress's first marriage to Jonny Lee Miller ended even more strangely than it began. The young people met in the early 90s during the filming of the film “Hackers”. No one understood what they had in common - it was difficult to imagine people more unsuitable for each other. In 1996, a wedding took place - the newlyweds came to get married in leather trousers and signed in blood - this was Jolie’s initiative. The groom obediently submitted to all the whims of the bride. The marriage lasted only a year. Jolie later thanked Johnny for helping her overcome drug addiction. Lee Miller himself denies Angelina in every possible way - he does not give interviews about what their marriage was like, and clearly hints that he would prefer to forget this life experience.

2. The actress's second marriage to Billy Bob Thornton was also very specific and again literally cost Angelina blood - the newlyweds exchanged jars of blood, pronouncing oaths of fidelity. It is not difficult to guess on whose initiative such a ceremony with a symbolic strengthening of family ties took place. Jolie met all her husbands only on the set - in May 2000, on the set of the film “Control of Flight” she met Billy Bob. It was love and passion, which the lovers very willingly demonstrated, but since Thornton was not much inferior in temperament to Jolie and was not ready to turn into a follower, after 3 years he had to file for divorce.

3. A real love thriller unfolded in Jolie’s life on the set of the film “Taking Lives,” where Ethan Hawke became her partner. It’s not hard to guess that the couple had an affair, but Hawk, for a moment, was then the husband of Uma Thurman and the father of her 2 children. That is, Aniston was not the first victim whose marriage collapsed due to the treachery of the fatal Jolie. Hawk, unlike Pitt, was not ready to get a divorce, and Thurman also dismissed the role of the victim for herself - the couple decided to divorce. However, Angelina did not have to celebrate - as it turned out, Hawk cheated on her with actress Jen Pertzow! Here is the twist in this confusing story. Officially in Hollywood it was believed that Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke broke up because of cheating with their nanny. There actually was a nanny, but later the actor married her and became an exemplary family man. And Uma Thurman became friends with Jennifer Aniston. Such a confusing story - “Santa Barbara” is resting.

4. The love story with Brad Pitt was no less dramatic. On the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004, passion broke out between the actors, but for a long time everyone convinced Aniston that nothing was happening. She even came to the shooting and shook Jolie’s hand, suspecting nothing. She learned about everything from the newspapers. In addition, Aniston was surprised to discover information in the media that the reason for her separation from Pitt was her reluctance to have children. In fact, Jennifer experienced 2 miscarriages, Pitt, of course, knew about this, but the PR machine was launched - according to rumors, it was Angelina. The public's anger was so strong that the actress hired George W. Bush's PR team to completely transform her image. The paparazzi came to the beach exactly at the appointed time to take “random” photos of Pitt with her adopted child on a walk, while the American press was loudly trumpeting that Aniston was focused on her career, did not want children and had broken her marriage.

Later, in an interview, Aniston stated that Jolie, who all her life could not forgive her father Jon Voight for cheating (he also fell in love with his co-star on the set and left her mother, Marcheline Bertrand), repeated his path.

The 43-year-old is one of the most beautiful, attractive and sexy women in Hollywood. Her personal life has always been of interest to the public no less than her professional successes (the story about which appears in the media almost every day is proof of this). Therefore, today in our regular column we decided to remember one of her craziest and most passionate romances - with the actor who became her second husband. As the actor said in a recent interview, they split because his wife was "open to the world" while he suffered from agoraphobia (a mental disorder involving a fear of crowds and open spaces). Why to this day the relationship of this couple, who separated many years ago, arouses great interest among the public, we tell in our material on the site.

This is now Angelina Jolie - an exemplary mother of six children (three of whom are adopted), a famous gender fighter, a successful actress and director. But she was not always like this. Jolie's father drank a lot, raised his hand against his mother, and scandals in the family were not uncommon and, of course, left a big imprint on Angelina's psycho-emotional state and behavior. Already at the age of 14, she began to act naked, could boast of a very turbulent personal life for her young years, managed to try drugs and became interested in playing with knives during sex.

At the very beginning of my first sexual relationship, I used knives. I remember that one night my partner and I literally attacked each other with knives, and I even left a mark next to the jugular vein,

- she recalled several years ago.

The actress got married for the first time at the age of 20 - her husband was the famous actor Jonny Lee Miller. True, this marriage did not last long - a year later the couple divorced.

Jolie met her second husband, Billy Bob Thornton, in 1999 on the set of the film Pushing Tin. A year later, 25-year-old Angelina and 45-year-old Billy Bob got married. This novel was one of the most eccentric, if not strange. If usually couples show their feelings with touching actions and beautiful gifts, then this couple expressed their love in extremely unusual ways. Jolie and Thornton not only got tattoos with each other's names, but also exchanged blood, which was placed in special vessels and then worn around their necks.

There are empty medallions, into which a photo of the grandmother is usually inserted and worn around the neck. She bought a couple of these. We were often separated because she was filming Lara Croft and I was filming Monster's Ball. She thought it would be interesting and romantic if we took a small blade and cut ourselves fingers, we’ll put some blood on these medallions and we’ll wear them around our necks. People do this with the hair of their little son or daughter. It’s the same thing. After that, we started wearing vials of blood on our necks. We were vampires and lived in a dungeon.

- Thornton said.

However, the couple did not calm down on this. Deciding to surprise her husband on their wedding anniversary, Jolie gave him a crazy (and that's the key word) original gift. The actress gave her husband... a plot in a cemetery in Arkansas. She also took care of herself and purchased a plot next door, thereby hinting that their love would live forever.

It might seem a little strange to people, but to us it's something special. I called his mother to find out where most of their family was buried and reserved plots there so that one day when we died, we would be near each other. This was my gift to him. He gave me a document certified by a notary, which states that he will always be with me. This may be a funny way to reinforce these words, but we did it this way:

- said the actress.

Jolie, I must say, guessed right with the gift - Thornton appreciated it and noted that it would be a consolation for both of them.

Interestingly, the dark theme of the afterlife has attracted Jolie since childhood. At nine years old, when her grandfather died, she attended her first funeral. The ceremony did not frighten her at all, but, on the contrary, aroused great interest and even admiration. Since then, she especially fell in love with black clothes, sometimes began to walk around the cemetery and even dreamed of acquiring her own funeral service bureau.

If my film career had not worked out, I would have gone into the funeral business,

- she admitted.

The marriage of Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, who swore eternal love to each other, sealed their union with blood and intended to be together even after death, broke up after three years. Nevertheless, they remained friends and still speak warmly of each other.

By the way, after the divorce, Jolie and Thornton got tattoos dedicated to each other. But what happened to their places in the cemetery is unknown...

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie

It was a unique wedding, although it was not lavish and crowded, quite the opposite: Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie got married in Las Vegas on May 5, 2000. They ordered a wedding at the cheapest rate: $189 for a ceremony that lasted only twenty minutes, invited a random acquaintance they met in Vegas that same day as a witness, and after the ceremony, the newlyweds got into the car and drove off in a direction only known to them.

It was a wedding that no one believed in.

And when they believed it, everyone was amazed.

Including relatives and friends, whom the newlyweds did not consider necessary to inform.

They just sent an announcement to the newspaper: “Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, who played newlyweds in the film “Flight Control,” today officially became husband and wife. At 3:30 p.m., a wedding ceremony took place in west Las Vegas, lasting twenty minutes. Apart from the witnesses, not a single guest was invited to the wedding. The bride and groom wore sweaters and jeans."

These two were considered the strangest, most desperate and dangerous people in the Hollywood crowd. Few people understood them, and despite the sex appeal of Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, reasonable people avoided them. They have surprised others more than once with their antics. But this wedding...

Angelina's father, Jon Voight, having read the announcement of their wedding, simply did not believe it: he considered it a newspaper duck.

And when Billy Bob Thornton’s official fiancée, Laura Dern, read the announcement, she at first couldn’t believe her eyes, and then cried for several days. “I went to the cinema, and when I returned, my boyfriend was already married to someone else,” Laura tried to joke in an interview.

Those who believed in the wedding of Angelina and Billy Bob were simply shocked.

How is it possible to make a fateful decision in half an hour and get married in twenty minutes?

Angelina and Billy Bob were together at that moment, they were happy, and they were completely indifferent to anyone’s opinions... and suffering. At that time, both of them were absolutely selfish and therefore ideally suited for each other. “When I think about Billy, I find it difficult to breathe. I'm ready to do anything just to spend an extra second with him. And he treats me exactly the same,” Angelina said in an interview.

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie exchanged pendants, which are tiny bottles of blood, instead of wedding rings. They got tattoos of each other's names: Angelina placed Billy Bob's name next to her baby dragon.

They settled in a mansion in Beverly Hills. And Billy Bob returned to his passion for music. He was sure: Angelina was his muse. It was her presence that was missing for him to create real masterpieces. One of the most popular songs he wrote was dedicated to his wife and bore her name.

Hollywood gossips happily discussed how strange these two live: they regularly film their love affairs, and their favorite pastime is jumping on a trampoline, which was located in the backyard of the house. For their first common Christmas, they gave each other plots in the cemetery... In addition, Billy, during those periods when he had inspiration, sat in the basement, turned into a music studio. And sometimes these periods dragged on for several weeks.

And four years later they also suddenly divorced. “I still don’t know why we broke up,” Billy Bob Thornton wonders. Angelina Jolie doesn't say anything: she's married to Brad Pitt, she's a mother of many children, she's very busy and very happy.

Angie became the actor's fifth wife, but he found his happiness only in his sixth marriage

On August 4, Billy Bob Thornton, the famous womanizer and “bad boy” of Hollywood, turns 62 years old. He claims that he has finally found wisdom and peace, met the main woman of his life and, it seems, still regrets that his marriage to Angelina Jolie did not last long.

Bad Billy

Billy Bob Thornton was born in the town of Hot Springs, Arkansas. His father was a school history teacher and also coach of the school basketball team, and his mother Virginia studied esotericism, claiming to be clairvoyant. The boy spent most of his childhood in his grandparents' shack. There was not even electricity in the house - my grandfather was a forester.

However, Thornton later said that he was happy then. The father had a hot temper and beat Billy. The guy was an outcast at school. All his thoughts were occupied by rock music and sports, he dreamed of a serious sports career as a baseball player. But he suffered a knee injury and had to forget about professional sports.

Having left the sport, Billy began to have a blast. “Sex, drugs and rock and roll – that’s all that interested me in my early youth,” the actor admitted with a grin in an interview. At 23, Billy married his girlfriend Melissa Lee Gatlin. It was a hasty step: Mellisa was expecting a child. But the birth of a daughter did not help save the marriage - it lasted only two years.

Hello Hollywood!

Billy Bob Thornton had great ambitions. And following a friend who went to study to become a screenwriter, Billy left for Los Angeles. This was in the mid-80s. At first I had to push myself around: act in crowd scenes and tiny roles, simultaneously earning a living either as a salesman or as a waiter. But that’s what Hollywood is all about: everyone gets a chance here – you just have to be able to use it.

For starters, Billy married an actress Tony Lawrence– it didn’t matter that she was seven years older, but she was the daughter of a famous actor Mark Lawrence. And Billy also received valuable advice and not from anyone, but from himself Billy Wilder famous director of the film Some Like It Hot. Thornton happened to serve Wilder as a waiter, and he took the opportunity to consult with the master. “Hollywood is full of guys who dream of becoming actors. But those who want to write good scripts are much smaller. Maybe you can try? - said Wilder. And Billy tried it. He co-wrote the screenplay with Epperson for the film One Wrong Move (1992). And he himself starred in it together with wife number three and also an actress, Cynda Williams. By that time, he had already divorced Tony Lawrence - this marriage, like the previous one, lasted two years. It’s an amazing coincidence that he was married to Sinda for the same amount of time.

Habit of getting married

In an interview, Thornton said that although he is reputed to be a womanizer, and does not deny it, he is also a great romantic. Like, for him, falling in love and relationships are much more important than one-time sex, even damn good one.

His fourth marriage lasted a little longer than the previous ones - four whole years. Petra Cherniak did not belong to the world of cinema - she was a top model. Two sons were born one after another - in 1993 William, in 1994 – Harry James. My career was gaining momentum. The success of the film “One Wrong Move” allowed Thornton to reach a new level - he began to be invited to star in good projects from famous directors. His fame grew. And now his oddities and vices - numerous phobias, loner syndrome, eccentricity, only made him more interesting.

When a scandalous divorce from Petra took place in 1997 - she accused Billy of domestic violence and demanded that he be banned from approaching her and the children - no one was particularly surprised. It's Billy Bob Thornton, the wickedly attractive bad guy!

The beauty and the Beast

In 1999, Billy Bob Thornton starred in the film Flight Control. Played his character's wife Angelina Jolie. She recently divorced a handsome Englishman Jonny Lee Miller. On the set, a whirlwind romance broke out between her and Thornton. On May 5, 2000, they got married and immediately became the most talked about couple in Hollywood.

Public opinion was as follows: the beauty Angelina and the “monster” Billy Bob Thornton, who is twenty years older than her, are two pairs of boots. The reputations of both turned out to be a match: they both went through fire, water and copper pipes, there was booze, drugs, and a penchant for eccentric antics; they were even related by their love of tattoos.

The marriage lasted three years. They parted on good terms, and Angelina is the only ex-wives with whom Billy maintains friendly relations.

“She is a great person. And she never left me. She is always ready to help and listen. And I ruined everything in my relationship with Angie. I felt that as a person she was much higher than me. And when in a relationship one is higher than the other, it will not lead to anything good...” the actor says about his ex-wife. Apparently, he still cannot forget her. They had too much in common and too strong feelings connected them.

Attempt number six

After Angelina, Thornton became friends with the actress Connie England. On September 24, 2004, she gave birth to his daughter Bella. However, Billy was in no hurry to tie the knot again. He married Connie only ten years later, on October 22, 2014 - on her birthday. Today Billy Bob Thornton admits that he has learned to live with his demons, but laments that he has made many mistakes in life and likes to fantasize about how he would change everything if he had to start over.

“I would probably give up some marriages,” says the actor. He admits that he is happy in his sixth marriage. And, surprising many, he draws parallels between his fifth and sixth wives. “Connie gave me peace, she understands my nature as a hermit and homebody, although she loves to travel. In this she is similar to Angelina - Angie also loves exotic countries and travel, but she accepted me for who I am...” assures Billy Bob Thornton.
