Jolie Says She Split With Thornton
Angelina Jolie confirms that she has split with her actor-husband Billy Bob Thornton in an interview with Us Weekly, saying that she hasn’t spoken to the Oscar winner in at least a month.
“I’m angry. I’m sad. It’s a very difficult and sad time,” Jolie told the magazine in its July 29-Aug. 5 double issue, on newsstands Friday.
“Sometimes, you don’t see things coming, even though they are happening. It was a real deep connection, a deep marriage, so it’s not that simple to say this or that one thing caused the problems.”
Us Weekly said Thornton, whose recent movies include “The Man Who Wasn’t There” and “Monster’s Ball,” declined to comment for the article. His publicist would only say, “They remain very married.”
Jolie, 27, wed Thornton, 46, after a whirlwind courtship in Las Vegas in 2000, the same year she won a best-supporting actress Oscar for “Girl, Interrupted.” Thornton was dating actress Laura Dern when he became involved with Jolie. It was Thornton’s fifth marriage and her second.
Thornton won an Oscar in 1997 for best screenplay for “Sling Blade,” for which he was also nominated for best actor.
The couple’s wild love life has been media fodder; at one time, they wore vials of each other’s blood around their necks. The couple recently adopted a son, Maddox, from Cambodia.
But while the article said Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations ( news – web sites), has been spending time with Maddox, Thornton, who also has released an album of his singing, went on tour.
“He’s focused on his music career,” says Jolie. “I’m focused on my baby.”
Jolie and her 11-month-old are living in a hotel away from the couple’s Beverly Hills, Calif., home; Jolie says she is unsure of where Thornton has been staying.
Yet Jolie, who has a Billy Bob tattoo on her left arm, says it’s possible they could reconcile.
“We’re not divorced yet,” she says. “We’re going through a difficult time. I’m not sure what will happen.”
