Angelina Jolie's ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton doesn't look back at their time together too fondly.

Thornton, 59, and Jolie, 39, met on the set of 1999's Pushing Tin and married in 2000 after a whirlwind two-month courtship. Things only got weirder from there until they divorced in 2003.

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie's marriage has been the rallying point of much gossip over the years.

From overt PDA-moments to wearing each other's blood around their necks, Thornton's marital time with Jolie has been one crazy journey.

The 59-year-old actor recently opened up to a daily about what it was like being married to Angie.

Speaking about the much-famous blood vials, he said, "Angie came home one day with…you know those lockets you buy that are clear and you put a picture of your granny 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 was off making Tomb Raider, and I was making Monster's Ball.

"We were on opposite ends; we saw each other for two weeks and whatever. She thought it would be interesting and romantic if we took a little razor blade and sliced our fingers, smeared a little blood on these lockets and wear it around our neck just like you wear your son or daughter's baby hair in one. Same thing," Thornton added.

Billy and Angie's divorce was finalised in 2003, and the latter recently tied the knot with actor Brad Pitt.

Thornton has been in a relationship with makeup effects crew member Connie Angland since 2003.
