Watch: Billy Bob Thornton Shares Where He Stands With Ex Angelina Jolie 22 Years After DivorceMichelle Randolph isn't afraid of potentially uncomfortable conversations. The Landman star offered insight into her personal dynamic with costar Billy Bob Thornton-who plays her dad in the Paramount+ drama-revealing that she couldn't resist inquiring about his tabloid-fueling relationship with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. "Most of my scenes are with him, and I'm thinking, 'God, all I know is that he drank Angelina Jolie's blood or something,'" she said during an appearance on the Feb. 11 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, per People. "Which I since have asked him about."

And more than two decades after going their separate ways, the 70-year-old noted that he and Angelina, 50, "are still very, very close friends." "That was one of the greatest times of my life," he emphasized of their whirlwind romance. "And that was the one that ended up being a really civilized breakup.
