Billy Bob Thornton is once again clarifying one of the most talked about parts of his relationship with Angelina Jolie. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the actor finally addressed the rumor that he and Jolie once walked around wearing vials of each other’s blood. Over the years this myth became so big that it practically turned into a punchline about their marriage.

Thornton told the outlet that the story went far beyond anything that actually happened. “We each had a little locket, literally with a drop of blood in them,” she said, adding that the idea was to be personal and sweet, not that it became a bizarre news item.
He added, “It’s a little romantic idea, and that’s all it was. But by the time it’s over, we become vampires. We live in a dungeon, we drink each other’s blood and things like that.”
He did not shy away from accepting the seriousness of that chapter. He said that he and Jolie had a close relationship and that the public made it even stranger than before. “And of course, Angelina and I had a great time together. That was the greatest time of my life,” he told Rolling Stone.
He also clarified that they never ended things on bad terms. He explained that the two “are still very, very close friends. And that was the breakup that actually became a civilized breakup.” He said that they simply separated because their lifestyles were too different.

Relationship of Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie
According to People, Billy and Angeline met while shooting Pushing Tin in 1999. They eloped to Las Vegas in 2000 and announced plans to adopt Maddox in 2002. Their marriage ended in 2003.
Even long after the split, the blood vial rumor stuck to them like glue, which is why Thornton addressed it again. In 2014, he previously told a Loyola Marymount University audience that Jolie had purchased a small locket kit and suggested they scratch each finger and put a drop of blood inside. Nothing more dramatic than that.
