Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton’s whirlwind romance had Hollywood talking, but nothing raised eyebrows more than the infamous vials of blood they wore around their necks. At the time, it was seen as a wild declaration of love. Looking back, Thornton insisted it wasn’t as dramatic as people made it out to be.
Thornton, who married Jolie in 2000, later explained the story to Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film & Television students. He described it as a simple, intimate gesture. “[A] vial of blood is very simple.
