Billy Bob Thornton may have won an Oscar as screenwriter for the 1996 film “Sling Blade,” but that won’t help him recoup the quarter of a million dollars he lost on the $2.1 million sale of a modestly sized if hardly inexpensive house above Malibu’s Point Dume he bought just over a decade ago for $2.35 million. And that’s not counting carrying costs, improvement expenses and real estate fees. One of eight similarly sized but architecturally diverse houses on a gated cul-de-sac, the not quite 2,700-square-foot, smooth-stucco contemporary contains four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Arranged around a glass-railed stairwell that leads to lower-level bedrooms, open-plan living and dining spaces have ordinary beige-tile floors, vaulted ceilings, lots of windows and a minimalist fireplace. The marble-countered kitchen has sleekly fixtured powder-blue cabinetry, and glass sliders open the airy, sun-splashed space to a small terrace with an open if not particularly thrilling cross-canyon view.

To this day, Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie's brief early 2000s marriage is one of the more bizarre relationships that came through Hollywood. There were blood vials, graphic red carpet makeouts, and (of course) plenty of limo sex. Although they divorced back in 2003, the Bad Santa 2 actor recently opened up about their tumultuous courtship in the latest issue of GQ a little over a month after the actress and activist announced her split from husband Brad Pitt. "I never felt good enough for her," the 61-year-old actor said, noting that her passion for politics and humanitarianism didn't easily jive with his laid-back way of life. "I'm real uncomfortable around rich and important people." Despite his unease around Hollywood's elite, Billy Bob added, "I like how I am," and seems to have settled down quite a bit. Angelina's name is still tattooed on his leg and part...

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie‘s unique displays of affection made them seem like a perfect match for each other. However, the actor says they were always on different pages.
In the wake of Jolie’s high-profile split from Brad Pitt, Thornton opened up to GQ about their relationship, past and present.
Thornton, 61, revealed that although the duo married in 2000 after meeting on the set of the 1999 movie Pushing Tin, they had different interests — she was passionate about her involvement with the United Nations while he preferred relaxing at home watching sports — that made him feel inadequate.

Billy Bob Thornton has ruled out marrying for a sixth time as he doesn't want to jinx his current relationship by exchanging vows.
The Monster's Ball star has been romantically involved with make-up artist Connie Angland for almost 10 years, but unlike his last ex-wife Angelina Jolie, who is engaged to marry Brad Pitt, the actor doesn't want to walk down the aisle again.
He tells CNN newsman Piers Morgan, "I told her, 'Look, when you think of it this way, this is my longest relationship and we're not married.' So it's not real hard to figure out!
"Plus, you know, if you do that then the press would get into that, and call her number six or something like that and that's not fun. We're doing just fine the way we are and we have a beautiful seven-year-old daughter. It's all fine so let's leave well enough alone, you know?"
Thornton has five failed marriages behind him, including unions with Playboy model Pietra Dawn Cherniak and actresses Toni Lawrence and Cynda Williams.

Actor/director Billy Bob Thornton has dismissed rumours indicating he's penning a new script featuring a character based on his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, insisting he would never expose intimate details of their relationship.
Recent reports suggested the Bad Santa star was due to shoot new movie And Then We Drove about the couple's early romance, but Thornton has set the record straight, revealing the project has nothing to do with Jolie.
He tells New York Magazine, "Believe me, if I were gonna write a movie about her, we certainly wouldn’t announce it until it was done. We haven’t even started on this movie yet! And the idea has nothing to do with the way I met her or anything to do with her.
"I would never make a movie about my best friend, either, or any other ex of mine, or something. That’s not my bag. I don’t mind exposing myself, but I'm certainly not gonna make a movie about someone else."
Thornton wed the Salt beauty in 2000 but they separated two years later. The actor is currently dating make-up artist Connie Angland and Jolie has since found love with Brad Pitt.

Eccentric Billy Bob Thornton has reportedly invited his ex-wife and their two kids to live with him and his pregnant girlfriend in the sprawling Beverly Hills mansion he bought with Angelina Jolie.
