Billy Bob Thornton on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: "I love them both"

Coming up this evening at 9 p.m., "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomes actor and screenwriter Billy Bob Thornton for a remarkably candid and revealing face to face interview.

A veteran of more than 50 films, Thornton was famously married to Hollywood mega-star Angelina Jolie from 2000 to 2003. Now, nearly a decade since the pairs divorce, Thornton details his relationship with both Jolie, and her fiancé, Brad Pitt.

"I only see her occasionally when she comes to town, and I talk to them on the phone sometimes," reveals the 56-year-old actor. "She's a great friend, and would be there if I needed her, and vice-versa. And Brad's a great guy and I love them both."

On the heels of Pitt and Jolie's recent engagement, Piers Morgan asks his guest about the possibility of attending a "Brangelina" wedding:

"If I were invited to something, I would go for any friend of mine. Like I said, they're friends," says Thornton of the A-list actors. "If I didn't go, it certainly wouldn't be because of being uncomfortable. It would be because I don't go anywhere."

Watch the clip, and listen to the interview, then tune in this evening at 9 p.m. as the author the new book "The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts" reveals details of his OCD and shares his opinions on social media.

    What a stupid interview! yOU HAD THIS VERY INTERSTING actor/person with you and all you did was ask about Anjolie and his relationship. How stupid can you get. Is that all you can think of?
    When did you get the hair transplant?

      Probably because he's afraid to mention anything about a topic Billy Bob has chosen is off limits, like his useless drumming and singing.

    Terrible terrible show. Billy bob Thornton has been married five times and exhibits a variety of pathologies and yet you take seriously his social commentary. He spent the hour preaching about what WE need to do and how WE have become so abstracted and how celebrity isn't what it used to be because of social media. Boo hoo! Social media has enabled multiple revolutions in parts of the world that would otherwise remained in the dark ages. Piers spent the hour nodding along and concluded by saying how normal his guest is. He said thebsamebabout Charlie Sheen– who has since admitted to being cuckoo for a spell. You suck Piers, and you should invite real intellectuals to talk real social commentary.

    Piers!! What about Billy Bob, Angie, Angie, so wrong, so very wrong. Bob, as perceived tonight, is relaxed about it.. Mr. Thortons comment regarding "OCD", I understand...there is so much more that can be said on that topic.
