Billy Bob Thornton Reveals The Truth Behind Blood Vial Swap With Angelina Jolie

Actor Billy Bob Thornton finally opened up about his turbulent relationship and marriage with actress Angelina Jolie. The Fargo actor said that Jolie though it would be romantic to wear vials of each other’s blood around their necks – so they did.

“[The] vial of blood is very simple. You know those lockets you buy that are clear and you put a picture of your grannie in and wear it around your neck? She bought two of those. She thought it would be interesting and romantic if we took a little razorblade 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. Same thing.”

59-year-old Thornton explained that they were so busy during their marriage that they hardly saw one another. So, in order to feel closer to each other, Jolie wanted them to wear the vials. He also said that they didn’t have a dungeon in the house they shared at the time, but a recording studio.
