Angelina Jolie's ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton says they would STILL be married if he wasn't 'agoraphobic'
Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie divorced in 2003 after three years of marriage.
And on Wednesday the 62-year-old actor revealed what broke them up when talking to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s HFPA In Conversation podcast.
The star said it simply came down to different lifestyles: while the Oscar-winning beauty was 'international' he was 'agoraphobic.'

While she liked to fly to the Middle East to visit refugees he wanted to stay in Los Angeles.
'Hers is a global lifestyle and mine is an agoraphobic lifestyle,' said Billy.
'So, that’s really … the only reason we’re probably still not together, you know, ‘cause [it was] just a different path and life we wanted to take.'

Making out: The two often kissed in public; here they are seen in 2001
The actor/musician has been married to Connie Angland since 2014, while Jolie is currently in the midst of divorce proceedings from her third husband, Brad Pitt.
The Sling Blade actor also said 'a lot' of what was written about the couple wasn't 'as crazy as people wrote about it.'
The vials of each other's blood the couple were rumored to carry around their necks contained just a 'smear' and not the 'bucket of blood around our necks' the media made them out to be, according to the 62-year-old.

And the pair are still close according to Thornton.
'Angie is still a friend of mine and she’s a great person,' said the Oscar winner.
Jolie has been having a tough time the past two years as she battles with Pitt over custody of their six children.
Court papers were leaked this week with details about the custody war. That did not sit well with Jolie, who is shooting Maleficent 2 in London.
A spokesperson for Angelina has responded to the leak.
A spokesperson for Jolie said in a statement to DailyMail.com: 'This misleading leak is not in the best interests of the children. From the start, Angelina has been focused only on their health and needs, which is why it was so important that this last court hearing be conducted privately.'
