Angelina, 44, and the Sling Blade star, 64, married in May 2000. Their oftentimes eccentric relationship ended in June 2002 when they separated. The two divorced in May 2003.

Billy Bob explained in a November 2016 interview with GQ that he ‘never felt good enough for her,’ saying that her humanitarian efforts did not align with his easygoing lifestyle.

Of the vials of blood the pair wore on chains around their necks, the Fargo alum told The Hollywood Reporter in October 2014, ‘It was a crazy time. I’ve never been fond of it.’

He continued: ‘We were apart a lot because she’s off making Tomb Raider and I’m making Monster’s Ball.

‘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 you wear it around your neck just like you wear your son or daughter’s baby hair in one.

‘From that, we were wearing quart jars of blood around our necks. And we were vampires and we lived in a dungeon.’

Angelina moved on with Brad Pitt, whom she met and fell in love with on the set of Mr. And Mrs. Smith in 2004.
