Billy Bob Thornton Says Jolie 'Blood Vials' Were Just One Drop in a Locket

He frames the keepsakes as a romantic gesture that media retellings turned into a myth.

Overview

  • In a new Rolling Stone interview, Thornton says he and Angelina Jolie wore small lockets with a single drop of blood rather than vials.
  • He describes the necklaces as a simple token of affection and laments how the story morphed into gothic lore.
  • Thornton says the pair remain close, calling their split a civilized breakup driven by different lifestyles.
  • He first detailed the locket explanation in 2014 at Loyola Marymount University, recalling a kit Jolie bought and a fingertip slice for the drop.
  • Coverage notes he is now married to Connie Angland and that season two of Landman premiered on Paramount+ on Nov. 16.
