Here is one thing I probably have in common with Angelina Jolie: I have no desire to see Billy Bob Thornton and Brad Pitt in a movie together.
Regardless of my desires and also most likely Angie’s, Billy Bob Thornton recently told Playboy that if the opportunity presented itself for him and his ex-wife’s soon-to-be-ex-husband to star in a movie together, he’d be down.
“This might surprise people, but I’d love to do a movie with Brad Pitt. I think we’d be great together. We’d play a couple of Southern guys,” he said. Hmm. Okay. Maybe you have my interest. I’m picturing some sort of Thelma and Louise romp, just two dudes on the run from some unseen villainous force. I’d also take a weird sort of Brokeback Mountain redux, just for fun.
For the record, Billy Bob and Angelina still sort of keep in touch, though he hasn’t reached out to her since her very public impending divorce. “Every now and then we talk, you know? Whatever,” he said. “But when people are going through their trials and tribulations I try to leave them alone unless they want to talk to me.”
