They went from freaky to finished in just a few years and Billy Bob Thornton is opening up about why.The “Fargo” actor, who shared no shortage of zany public displays of affection with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, recently opened up to GQ about why they were unable to make the relationship work.The former couple met on the set of the 1999 film “Pushing Tin” and were married a year later. And while Thornton and Jolie both loved wearing each other’s blood in a vial around their necks, the rest of their interests didn’t really align — she was passionate about working with the United Nations while he was more comfortable staying in and watching sports.“I never felt like I was good enough for her,” Thornton told the magazine, noting the glitz of Hollywood life has never been something he’s particularly enjoyed.“...I’m real uncomfortable around rich and important people,” he said, adding he didn’t have much desire to change or fit into that type of world anyway. “I like who I am.” In the end, a romp or two in the car on the way to a red carpet event wasn’t enough to save the pair and they split in 2003, months after announcing they’d adopt a child from Cambodia.Jolie went on with the process and officially adopted Maddox, now 15, who was at the center of recent Brad Pitt abuse claims that were dismissed.Thornton is now married to his sixth wife and long-time partner Connie Angland — the pair share a 12-year-old daughter, Bella, and are both drawn to a quieter lifestyle.
