Billy Bob Thornton sat down for a lengthy discussion with students at Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film & Television last week. THR transcribed the entire discussion – go here to read. BBT talked about his filmography and it seems like he was extremely generous with his time, talking about the years he struggled and worked odd jobs in Hollywood and then going on to discuss his favorite films and film experiences (he says Bandits is a favorite, which is awesome). But the big headline is that BBT talked about Angelina Jolie and whether they really kept vials of blood around and whether she was really into knives. Here’s the Angelina section:
You were married to Angelina Jolie. How did you like that kind of celebrity life? You were in the news everywhere. He’s got a dungeon, he’s got a vial of blood, he’s this, he’s that…Did you have a vial of blood? A dungeon?
THORNTON: I don’t know how the vial idea started. We did not have a dungeon. It was, I mean it was a crazy time. I mean from ’95 or so when we were making Sling Blade on through the time Angelina and I split up which was 2003 I suppose, that whole time was quite a whirlwind and that was, you know, an amazing time. And I’ve never been fond of it. There’s so many things that you can say about this stuff and you know why I like to do this? I mean if we had three hours it would be so much better. Because I could actually….
Well whether it’s popular or not popular I think it’s your duty to kind of tell people the truth about this stuff and the truth is not encouraged anymore. People want the truth but they only want the truth so they can talk bad about you on the blog or on television. They want you to tell them the truth and it screws everybody. It screws journalists and the actors and stuff too because people clam up. You know, we’re clamming up a lot more these days. And it’s because you know you’re gonna get your ass handed to you. So anyway, during that time the reason I brought that up is because I know people like to say oh he says it’s hard being famous, sure, these over privileged… Well I’ve told you what my life was like. I was hardly over privileged…. I became a movie star overnight. From a working actor and working writer to a movie star by playing that guy. That doesn’t normally happen. Normally you’re 21 years old and you look like Tom Cruise and you do a couple underwear commercials first and then you’re a movie star. That didn’t happen for me. So it was all quite overwhelming.
And then when Angie and I got married and we were friends before that for quite a few years and it was an amazing time and all the stuff that they said about us, I mean it had some basis in fact. I mean you know we had a basement. [LAUGHTER] Which I had a recording studio in. So it was a recording studio and so when I tell a journalist I stay down in the dungeon all the time, you know, recording music and they don’t hear recording music, they hear dungeon. You know. Because it makes a better story.
Vial of blood is very simple. Angie came home one day with a kit she bought which is a… You know those lockets you buy that are clear and you put a picture of your grannie in it or something like that and wear it around your neck? That’s what it was. She bought two of those. We were apart a lot because she’s off making Tomb Raider and I’m making Monster’s Ball. We were on opposite ends, we see each other for two weeks and whatever. She thought it would be interesting and romantic if we took a little razorblade and sliced our fingers, smeared a little blood on these lockets and you wear it around your neck just like you wear your son or daughter’s baby hair in one. Same thing. From that we were wearing quart jars of blood around our necks. [LAUGHTER] And we were vampires and we lived in a dungeon. [LAUGHTER]
Yeah, it’s nothing we haven’t heard before – obviously, the whole vials of blood thing and the dungeon and all of that got played up a lot circa 2000-01 because Angelina and BBT were so “weird” and “unconventional.” And looking back, I think it’s mostly because neither of them had mastered PR. Like, they didn’t know how to present themselves in interviews and such. But maybe that’s my old-school Angeloonie speaking. I’ve loved her for so many years!!

That was a lot of complainy words to not complain about being asked about celebrity stuff. Was that Mark Wahlberg shade?? LOL I think Billy Bob is a giant tool after his Jian Ghomeshi CBC temper tantrum, but I kind of love him for saying that sex with A Jolie was like screwing a sofa. Two kisses for that, BB
He never said sex with Angelina was like screwing a sofa. Way to prove his point.
I’m not sure why you’re so committed to defending this – I posted a link. In one line he specifically says it.
Do you know what “specifically” means?
Where is the quote of BBT saying having sex with AJ is like having sex with a sofa? Was it deleted?
Um they didn’t speak for awhile as they weren’t friends as per Jolie’s own admission. BBT’s full quote
Sex doesn’t have to be with a model to be good. As a matter of fact, sometimes with the model, the actress, the “sexiest person in the world,” it may be literally like fu-ing the couch. Don’t count out the average-looking woman, or even maybe the slightly unattractive woman, or the really unattractive woman. There may be this swarthy little five-foot-two stocky woman who just has sex all over her.
BBT never had a gorgeous woman like Jolie before or after her. Jolie was on many lists of ‘most beautiful’ etc between 2001-2005 (height of her beauty tbh). You really think he wasn’t at the very least shading the sh-t out of his ex-wife?
Seapharris, just stop dear – you posted a link to a news aggregator site the asian hindu times which gets it’s stuff from tabloids and the crack of their azz, Thornton’s quote doesn’t mention Angelina Jolie in any capacity. He’s also said he wasn’t referring to her or anyone in particular, making a point about judging people based on looks.
Just curious@Artemis How do you know what women he has had before or after AJ? Do you know every woman he has had sex with?BBT is a celebrity,there are plenty of beautiful,sexy women with low self esteem who will f##k him because he is famous.Groupies, starfu##ers…
Now if you are a friend of his and he has discussed with you EVERY women he has slept with in the last forty years.
BTW BBT and AJ were talking again in 2005 but I’m sure you know that.
@Kim1
2005 had enough days for him to have said this when they weren’t on speaking terms.
The fact that he uses the terms model, actress and sexiest person in the world can mean that he was throwing shade at Jolie who was at a certain point, all of these things. If it was just a random girl, he wouldn’t have phrased it like that and he wouldn’t have bothered either. Jolie is the ex people ask him about, the only super famous ex. The Moviestar. Don’t go talking about ‘sexiest person’ when you were married to a woman who had that title multiple times over. He’s not dumb so I take his word as shade towards Jolie.
Did he actually said that though? Haha I love him even more now.
To Artemis,
First, why are you conflating something Jolie said right as they split in 2002-2003 (that she was mad and didn’t talk w/him for a short time), with a comment Thornton would make years later that had nothing to do with Jolie.
People see what you’re doing, and you just come off as silly and overinvested in slamming Jolie yourself.
Also, Thornton is a twice Oscar nom’d Oscar winner, screenwriter and director – do you really think beautiful women in H’wood wouldn’t go for that? Even Halle Berry was gushing about how sexy the man was. I echo the sentiment that Billy Bob always seems to land some pretty spectacular looking women, from the GORGEOUS Cynda Williams who he married in the early 90s (http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/2/Open/Sony%20Pictures/One%20False%20Move/_derived_jpg_q90_480x800_m0/oflsm_stl_19_h.jpg?partner=allrovi.com – they were in One False Move together, a fav movie of mind), to his second wife a model, to Angie, sorry I don’t think Laura Dern is attractive, but he’s been with beautiful assorted models/actresses who aren’t as well known, and he’s now rumored to be with Tea Leoni who’s gorgeous. So yeah…don’t why you want to think the man waited until his 40s to screw a beautiful woman, that’s not even close to realistic.
I’m with Artemis on this. No matter how many women BB had been with, he made that quote after he broke up with the person who was considered the most sexy person in the world at that time. Doesn’t matter if he didn’t say her name, we know she had that title. I think he threw some shade her way. How many articles have we read on this site where it seems like one celeb is throwing shade at another? They don’t always mention that person’s name but we eat it up anyways. Maybe he was still bitter about the breakup who knows but damn can a person have their opinion without being crapped on.
For all you gals who insist on not only claiming Thornton had to be talking about Jolie (even though he says he was not and it wouldn’t even make much sense, since he went on to marry her, and talk in fairly explicit terms about their great sex life) – why not google the whole piece which was in Esquire, July of 2005. It’s pretty easy to do.
For those of you still claiming he was throwing shade, because he was hurt, he was sore, they weren’t talking…blah blah…well, hello – they had split years earlier. They were good friends. He mentions her glowingly in the same piece and says they’ve “been best friends forever and still are best friends,” so why would he diss her like that? He wouldn”t.
It never amazes me why so many bitter not over it ishes need to actively hate other women to this extent that they need to make up smears. Like you GAF WHAT Thornton thinks anyway. Lol Most of you have used BBT to smear Angelina with as if he was a disease or redneck caricature not an oscar winning screenwriter/actor/director. Give it up.
duplicate. Sorry.
Artemis, who is to say he wasn’t talking about some random he banged? Before or after Angelina? Just because he didn’t actually go steady with a beautiful girl (and that’s subjective, anyway – beauty) doesn’t mean he wasn’t having random hook-ups with hot actresses, models etc. He was in the industry, after all. Hot women in Hollywood are a dime a dozen. You and others just jumped to the conclusion it was Angelina, just because he was married to her. Yet you forget the salient fact that he willingly married her and stayed married to her, and for years afterwards, has told us he regretted letting her go. Straight out; that does not sound like Angelina. If it was, he is must be a masochist for a) marrying that couch, and b) regretting letting the couch go. Ergo reason and common sense tells us he was not talking about Angelina.
Domino, no he did not say it. Angelina is a good person.
@TTMuch and Seapharris7
Why are you so invested in Billy Bob denigrating a woman he obviously thought was good enough to marry? With all her ish, it seems she was the adult in the relationship.
I just think it’s hilarious. Ridiculously impossible trash-talking after breakup. That’s why he’s more contained now
TTMuch, we get that you want it to be about Jolie, as that would be funny for you…but you’re absolutely negating all context of the conversation. Since it wasn’t about Jolie, and Thornton says so — you just sound like a jealous fool who’s reaching a decade into the past to find something/anything to dig at Jolie with, even if you have to make it up. Now THAT, I find “hilarious,” and yet somehow…also sad.
If he was being asked about Angelina, and the reporter was going on and on about how she’s so hot, and how’d you ever get such a hot, sexy beautiful woman, etc., – and THEN he said that, then you might have a point. But he wasn’t, and he didn’t.
Why would he trash talk Jolie in 2005 two years after they had split, and when they were both great pals?
What’s more, like he said in the piece – there are factions that just make shite up to smear you and those around you. He said it wasn’t about Jolie, and unless you think Jolie and Thornton waited until their wedding night to screw, and he was surprised by her ‘sofa-ness,’ what you’re saying doesn’t even make sense.
So many cows wish Jolie weren’t as great as she seems, and even more are always looking for flaws in any beautiful woman, so I get why the cats are out scratching, but use your head…and FFS…let it gooooo…let it goooooo. Brad’s fugly mugly ex landed an unemployed bald shrimp poseur douche — be happy girl.
I saw that interview as well, and I can’t get past it. He was such a jerk and his bandmates look embarrassed. I think his ticket sales were low after that in Canada so he had to cancel some shows, and he got booed at a concert. Great actor, but the temperament of a two year old.
It wasn’t his tour so he didn’t have any ticket sales. His band was one of the opening acts for Willie Nelson and reports at the time were Willie fired them for the remainder of the Canadian dates because of the bad press.
Thanks KAI. I forgot that his band was with Willie. Good for Willie to can him.
why has he aged so badly? could someone explain what happened?
Even though Billy Bob didn’t actually saying it was Angelina he was talking about ( we don’t know everyone he’s dated since he started having sex, from 1971 I suppose when he turned 16) I hope you kiss Jesse James a million times for saying that Kat Von D is 100% better in bed than Sandra Bullock.
But Jesse James/Kat made way more sense than Sandra. Most tattoo artists I know are pretty open to anything, where as maybe an actress trying to project a squeaky clean image wouldn’t be. I always figured that’s what attracted Sandra in the first place – his bad boy behavior.
The question was would you still kiss him for saying sex is 100% better with Kat than with Sandra?
No because she’s not threatened and jealous of Bullock, and also because Bullock isn’t adored by Brad Pitt.
I thought Billy bob later clarified that he wasn’t talking about Angelina and that he was misquoted or something. I read it somewhere but can’t remember from which interview.
That was a very verbose way of saying it was an overblown rumor. Damn.
Plus, there’s a kitty hairball on his head.
Is this why you have a hairless cat, Jaderuru?!
These scurrilous rumors will be avenged…trust.
Billy Balls Thornton!
You know, for old time’s sake…
All I got is that BB Thorton is still hot to me. Oh and the public did think he was referring to AJ with that comment. AJ was considered the hottest woman in the world at that time. Also as long as BB had been in the business,why would he wait until after their breakup to make that quote.
omg, why is he still talking about that?
He is responding to the question — “You were married to Angelina Jolie. How did you like that kind of celebrity life? You were in the news everywhere. He’s got a dungeon, he’s got a vial of blood, he’s this, he’s that…Did you have a vial of blood? A dungeon?”
@Ag, who wrote: ” omg, why is he still talking about that?”
Because he was asked about it AND because people ‘still’ think he and Angelina Jolie wore ‘vials’ of each other’s blood around their necks.
i know, i know. 🙂 he just talks about it every time i read about him. 🙂
Ag to my knowledge this is the very first time he has ever addressed it.
I saw AJ on a talk show around that time (I THINK she was promoting Tomb Raider at the time) and she did literally use the term ‘vial’ when referring to the blood around her neck . She also mentioned them stalking each other around the house like animals in an interview I read with her. And in a later interview, after the divorce (this one was in Cosmo, I remember that for sure), she mentions that she and Billy Bob would bring knives to bed.
So, they were freaky. My question is who cares? She was super young at the time, and sometimes when you’re young and having crazy sex you want to brag about it! I don’t get the Angelina haters who are trying to make this some sort of condemnation against her, or the stans that are trying to pretend it was all overblown. It was neither. A girl in her early twenties had some crazy love affair involving some crazy sex, and she was so excited about it that she bragged. So?
HIs plastic surgery seems to have settled.
Oh man, he’s still in love with her.
No, he’s in love with the attention he got for landing her.
He had plenty of attention after Sling Blade.
@KAI
He’s a very private person and considered one of the best in the industry. I don’t know why people think he would be the type that coattails an ex. They both have made negative comments about each other but obviously they’re both very fond of each other now and have let the past go a long time ago.
Hardly anyone listened to Angie when ‘she’ said it, but now that Billy Bob Thornton has also said there were no vials of blood, it was just a finger press of a drop of blood inside a small locket, I hope we can all now just (finally) let the whole ‘vials of blood/vampira’ thing go.
I hope someone shows his interview to Diane Sawyer. 🙂
Not going to happen.
Agreed, we’ve seen pictures of it as well, some years back. It was obvious that it was no vial. Only the haters cling to the vial thing (and the ‘couch’ comment, that ever so clearly was not about her).
How exhausting it must be defending Jolie, day after day….
On the contrary. Its easy when you are just re-speaking known facts. How exhausting it must be for you haters to continue to have to invent new lies all the time to try to bring her down? Definitely exhausting, because you have to have a good memory to be an effective liar. You don’t need to, to remember the truth or keep track of it like you do with lies you tell. Dallas, how exhausted desperate haters like YOU must be. How pathetic.
He’s sort of downplaying it here. She did numerous interviews where she talked about wanting to drink his blood, he talked about wanting to squeeze the life out of her during sex, they talked about bondage stuff and knife play and having a padded room for sex and fights in a filmed interview…and they doubled down on all those comments when they were asked to clarify, so it’s not like they were misquoted or misunderstood. There was a pretty long period where the tabloids didn’t even need to employ a little hyperbole to spice things up, Billy and Angelina were just handing them amazing story after amazing story.
It was such a great time for gossip 🙂
THIS. To me, he was the creep going through a midlife crisis & picked up this possibly mental unstable/drug riddled young starlet… I always found their relationship gross, but man, they were amazingly weird & great for gossip. He had fun with her & loved the attention he got, and then she matured & seemed to want a family. He bailed. I like most of his movies and him as an actor, but I just believe him to be a selfish douchenozzle in real life.
I think together they were odd, played off the weirdness and they probably stayed kind of high most of the marriage. I agree that he came off as this dirty old man with the crazy and very hot young chick.
Then she went to Cambodia, straightened herself out, adopted Maddox and grew up. He did not and ran like a scorched cat. He said he was intimidated by what she became and I think he still is. But they never trash each other and that is a good thing.
@Jessica …
I’m a fairly intelligent celebrity. I’m in a joint interview with my spouse. The man/woman interviewing us asks some silly sh$t they’ve seen in Tabloids. We laugh at it and then just go with the flow: “Yeah, we have a dungeon and everything. She has a tiny knife in her ring, too, so when we get freaky in the limousine she sticks it in my chest and takes a sip of blood. The sucking sensation is so intense, I clamp my hands around her throat and I could just squeeze the life out of her … that’s how much I love her, man.” We crack up laughing again because it looks like he/she is actually buying this sh$t. Whatever, man.
I just think they were goofing on the Tabs, never in a million years thinking that people would really believe it.
Then why did they keep saying it after they realised people were taking it seriously? They kept it up for a couple of years and it came up in serious interviews where they confirmed the stuff they’d said and denied the insane stuff like they were part of a vampire cult.
Angelina walked down the aisle wearing a bloody top for her first wedding, and she talked about things like incorporating knives into sex long before Billy and long after Billy. He talked about plenty of ‘weird’ stuff before her and after her. They weren’t just riffing off each other in one interview.
Trying to reply to Jessica. star Magazine had photos from Angelina’s first wedding and she was wearing a black dress. It looked like a prom dress. I agree with Emma… I think Angelina and Billy Bob (mostly Angelina) liked to troll the media and public with saying things that freak people out.
@ Emma
Also their infamous interview for People had the writer commenting on how Jolie rang her finger over his zipper. And how they both basically implied they could fuck at any given time. BOTH. They were OTT and ridiculous.
I can’t find a picture but I recall her wearing leather/rubber shorts and a white shirt or t-shirt with the groom’s name written in blood on the back for her wedding to Miller.
can anyone clarify that sex with a sofa comment above?
this coupling always creeped me out.
and BBT is now supposedly with tea leone which creeps me out more since i adore her.
🙁
This is what I found on his couch quote:
http://z10.invisionfree.com/Angelina_Uncovered/ar/t322.htm
Looks like he was trying to say having sex with a beautiful model type woman wasn’t that big of a deal, don’t ignore the ok looking chick – she’ll be better in bed. But it does appear that he specifically says sex with Angelina was like “f*cking a couch”… So I’m a little confused when people say they never talk bad about each other.
No. It does not “specifically” refer to Angelina. Believe it or not, she isn’t the only beautiful woman to have sex with him. He was simply making a valid point that beautiful and good in bed do not neccessarily go hand-in-hand.
“Sex doesn’t have to be with a model to be good. Sometimes with the model, the actress or the ‘sexiest person in the world’, it may literally be like fucking a couch,”
.
He went on to say, which was his larger point: “Don’t count out the average-looking woman, or even maybe the slightly unattractive woman, or the really unattractive woman. There may be this swarthy, little, five-foot-two stocky woman who just has sex written all over her,”
.
That’s his quote. He never mentions Angelina. He has since said a few times he wasn’t talking about Angelina or anyone in particular. Which kinda makes sense, since he was crazy about her, with her for a while and married her (hello?)
He’s talking about not judging people in general.
But I guess people who are ‘not over it,’ need it to be Angelina, so they basically go about ignoring whatever he said, and insisting he really meant Angelina (waves to seamonkey or seapharris).
Seapharris look up the meaning of the word specifically. No where NO WHERE in that quote does it SPECIFICALLY say the NAME Angelina Jolie. NO WHERE.
truth. they totally dealt their own “we’re so wild, so crazy in love” publicity cards.
the internet is not a celebrity’s friend when it comes to their past comments. not only do people often remember quite accurately what was said, it is extremely easy to dig up the offending material.
honestly, i don’t think people really believed they were wearing lots of each other’s blood, but that it was a small amount, as they said, on a necklace.
how come nobody brings up the fire pole they both yammered on about?
they were totally f^ck stairs! (except to get back up)
We have to remember when bbt mentioned the couch sex thing that was 2005. I believe might have been hurting at the time because Angie left him about a year before after he refused to be a father to his son MJP. Big hello to Phool. Don’t know what’s happening over at JJ. I can’t get on to Brad/Angie’s thread. However, I always liked posting on CB because Kaiser don’t play the trolling and threats on her site.
Jolie and Thornton split in 2003. This interview was done in 2005. Thornton even mentions Angie and talks about them being best friends forever in the same interview..says glowing things so why would he turn around and slam her? He wouldn’t. Sorry betties it’s not her.
If this board is anything to go by, people DO NOT remember things ‘accurately’. They invent a narrative to suit their own agenda/viewpoint/particular bias, and the vast majority of the time they are NOT accurate in what they SAY was said. This is proven time and time again, when real actual quotes are furnished.
I like that Billy never talks ill of Angelina.
He looked do much better before, all these guys/ladies get full lifts and loose the charming, individual aspects of their face; the characteristics that make them attractive.(Looking at you Renee) the men really look bad- Kenny Rogers, billy job, Bruce Jenner… Maybe they’re going to the same dr.
Well well well
I don’t think either Billy Bob or Jonny Lee has said negative things about Jolie. My opinion is that she’s intelligent, clever, talented and not nearly as bad as many people believe. I said my opinion, yes.
And I for one totally agree with your opinion.
I’ve always thought that people’s take on Angelina was that because she did these wild, weird, crazy and sometimes quite self destructive things when she was younger that somehow equated to her being a bad person. I have to admit, I did some pretty crazy things when I was in my late teens/ early 20s and so I’ve always really liked Angie in a kindred spirit kind of way.
However cutting through all of the ‘weirdness’ I also always have felt that Angie is a thoroughly decent and kind human being who I don’t think has deserved most of the vile and poisonous things that have been thrown and written about her through the years.
Aw, it’s nice to see some old pics of them together. I really enjoyed them as couple, while it lasted.
Oh, wow! I totally forgot there were pictures of Angelina with the sharpie eyebrow thing going on.
That was my first thought–THOSE EYEBROWS. Good Lord.
Mine, too! She’s my girl, but those eyebrows must have been inspired by Joan Crawford.
whoa! those eyebrows!
Why is Angelina the only one who is still judged/attacked for her past? And also put down for things she did to herself and not someone else?
How about trashing Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston, RDJ, Mark Walhberg, Tom Hanks, Woody Allan, Justin Theroux etc have either taken hardcore drugs, DUI, violence, cheating on their partners etc
PS: The fact that none of Angelina’s exes ever trash talk her or has anything bad to say – says a lot about her. It must have taken Angelina some inner strength to ignore the constant hatred she gets from the haters, Jen hens and the media.
@Maya – Why is Angelina the only one who is still judged/attacked for her past?
———————————————————————————————–
I kind of agree with this statement and I think it’s part of the narrative, that I made in an earlier post, that somehow Angelina is a bad person because of stuff that she did in her past so we have to be constantly reminded of her badness to cut through this image that Angelina is trying to present to the world as a decent human being, which I thoroughly think that she is.
I find it LOL, that there is still that hardcore sizable minority, some of who post here on CB on Angie related threads, who prefer to think as Angie as this diabolical figure rather than as a genuinely nice person.
Maya
My beloved, Colin Farrell, said of his drinking/drugging days, and his ‘more one-night stands than there were nights in the week’ fame, that had he been a young woman, he’d not have been allowed to progress past all that. He showed real anger at this double standard.
I totally remember when Colin Farrell made a sex tape with some unknown model/actress chick he was doing at the time. Somehow, it mysterious went missing (waving at you unknown model/actress chick). Those were the early days before the sex tape became fashionable. 😀
One of the things I like most about Angelina is that she just lives her life and does not respond to the folks still living in the 20th Century, as far as her life is concerned. It is like she exists only until 2003 and all that she has done and accomplished afterwards never happened. She will always be the “wild child” who uses drugs and self harms. She admits her messes and does not whine or blame anyone else for what she herself did to herself. Folks just cannot accept that she has a great career, a loving and supportive family and she just gets on with it. As Mr. Pitt says, she is a “Dame Commander” (with a little bit of the wild child just for him).
But, I have to agree about the horrid eyebrows back then. Her looks have improved immensely and she was not bad then.
Those two as a couple always kind of skeeved me out. I always got the impression that BB saw AJ as nothing more than his sexual play thing, and she was young with obvious Daddy issues. Once she cleaned up her act and started behaving like an adult (getting involved in humanitarian work and adopting Maddox) the attraction was gone. She’s definitely wound up in a much better, and healthier, place than where she was with him. But, all that aside, I think he’s a great actor.
Me too. I’m sure that BBT is a brilliant actor/musician (not so sure about the musician part)–but he seems SO sucky as a person. And while he and Angelina were freaky and weird and inappropriate with each other in public, it seems to me that the minute Angelina didn’t want to be his little inappropriate sex kitten, his doll, didn’t want to just go make movies (be a movie star) and then come home with him and be freaky–then he was out.
And I never understand why BBT never gets half the shade that Angelina does (well, sexism). She wasn’t being wildly inappropriate all by herself. She wasn’t f-cking in the limo by herself. What gives? Even with the Laura Dern stuff–“I went away to make a movie and when I got back my boyfriend got married.”–where in that statement does Laura say that Angelina was a fat lipped homewrecker that stole BBT? That says to me that BBT was not being honest with either women in his life (Angelina or Laura), and just dumped Laura without informing either woman about each other (or about that Laura was his actual girlfriend, not FWB, or something that wasn’t serious). Especially since it seems that he and Laura were away from each other for long periods of time.
I think now he appreciates her for the woman that she became–because, honestly, who wants vapid friends when you’re not?–but he didn’t seem to want that then.
I think the most important thing I have gotten out of this whole artcile/post is that now when I want to dismiss someone who is annoying me, I will simply say “Go f&ck a couch”. Thanks BBT.
*high five*
@ kri – when I want to dismiss someone who is annoying me, I will simply say “Go f&ck a couch”. Thanks BBT.
———————————————————————————————–
LOL. Good one
Except according to the Jolie haters here ‘go f a couch,’ must mean you go fall in love with it, talk about how amazing it is, marry it, lose it, pine for it, then spend the next decade talking about it in glowing terms.
.
Yeah the bitter betties be slow.
Dem brows!
Im just excited that Bandits was his favorite movie experience. That is, by far, one of my favorite movies of all time. Its not very well known, but it is so good and so funny! Love ya BBT!
I never understood what Angie saw in him. He comes across like a world-class jerk.
Here is a video of Angelina showing that “vial” of blood to Larry King. This isn’t the first time Angelina and Billy Bob have explained that locket with the drop of locket. At this point, they should not address it further. The media and public are stuck on “vial” and will never let it go.
http://ishare.rediff.com/video/entertainment/angelina-jolie-larry-king-live-blood/125213
Yeah, and what’s more..in the same interview from July of 2005 that he says the sofa thing (not about angie) he makes an almost verbatim clarification about the myth of the ‘vial,’ as he did in this recent piece. The problem is the media jumped on the sofa thing and ignored the ‘it was a flower press locket necklace, not a vial,’quote.
They were very important to each other. Billy Bob once said that after the death of his brother who was his best friend and he just happened to feel again that he had a friend when he met Angelina.
