Whoever is in charge of inviting celebrities to the BAFTAs didn’t do a very careful job with this year’s guest list. The current beau of Angelina Jolie, that is of course Brad Pitt, could come face to face with her ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton. Awwwwkward!
It’s not quite on the level of Brad encountering Jennifer Aniston at a red carpet event, but it could still make things a littke tricky. To save Brad and Billy Bob from engaging in uncomfortable small talk in front of the world’s media, production staff might need to frantically Usher one actor off the red carpet as the other arrives.
It's not all bad though, Billy Bob has previously admitted that Angelina is still one of his best friends, telling Parade.com, “I have the utmost respect for Angelina. She's a very sweet person, very talented and one of my best friends in the world.”
Hopefully those sentiments also extend to Brad.
Brad is at the BAFTAs this weekend as a Best Actor nominee for his role in Moneyball, while Billy Bob is on the list of presenters and attendees. Someone please tell us that Bill is presenting the Best Actor gong!
“They were lockets!”
When they were together, Angelina and Billy Bob were one of our all-time favourite bonkers couples. Although Billy Bob has recently spoken out to set the record straight on one best weird facts about their relationship, they didn’t wear vials of each other’s blood… well, not quite,
“They were clear lockets, for a start, and never vials,” he explains. “They had one drop of blood in them. It was no big deal.”
Yep, that is perfectly normal!
