In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Billy Bob Thornton has addressed the enduring rumor that he and Angelina Jolie once wore vials of each other's blood. The actor, known for his roles in Hollywood, set the record straight on the origins of the myth. According to Thornton, the story took a dramatic turn, but in reality, the couple simply exchanged small lockets with a single drop of blood each. Thornton explained that the idea was initially romantic and personal, sparked by Angelina Jolie's suggestion to add a symbolic drop of blood to a locket kit. However, the public perception of their relationship became distorted, portraying them as vampires living in a dungeon. Thornton acknowledged the intense connection he shared with Jolie during their relationship, which he described as one of the greatest times of his life. The couple, who eloped in 2000 and announced plans to adopt a child in 2002, eventually parted ways due to their vastly different lifestyles. In 2014, Thornton had already addressed the rumor, stating that the blood vial story was far from the truth. He has since moved on, marrying Connie Angland in 2014 and continuing to work in the entertainment industry, including the release of the second season of Landman on Paramount+. Thornton's comments aim to clear up the misconception surrounding his relationship with Jolie, emphasizing the romantic gesture behind the infamous blood vial rumor.
