Billy Bob Thornton Revises Jolie ‘Blood Vial’ Tale in New Rolling Stone Interview

Thornton also calls Angelina Jolie a very close friend today.

Overview

  • In a Rolling Stone interview published in November 2025, Billy Bob Thornton says long‑running reports that he and Angelina Jolie wore liquid blood in vials were incorrect.
  • He explains that each wore a small medallion containing a single dried drop of the other's blood, not ampoules of liquid.
  • Thornton reflects that the intense attention on their relationship felt strange and that fascination with celebrity couples was especially strong at the time.
  • He characterizes their separation after roughly three years of marriage as civil and attributes the split to divergent lifestyles and careers.
  • Coverage reiterates that they married in 2000 and remain very close friends, and it notes no response from Jolie has been reported.
