“We each had a little locket, literally with a drop of blood in them. That’s a romantic little idea, and that’s all that was. But by the time it’s over, we’re vampires. We live in a dungeon, we drink each other’s blood, and this kind of stuff,” Billy explained to the outlet.

Angelina and the Bad Santa star were together for several years in the early 2000s, marrying in 2000 and divorcing in 2003.

The actor reflects positively on their relationship.

“And of course, Angelina and I had a great time together. That was one of the greatest times of my life,” he shared. “She and I are still very, very close friends. And that was the one that ended up being a really civilized breakup. We simply split up because our lifestyles were so different.”
