Did Billy Bob Thornton allege that intimate moments with Angelina Jolie were akin to “f***ing the couch”?

A Billy Bob Thornton statement has resurfaced which started rumors about his previous relationship with Angelina Jolie. During an interview with Esquire in 2005, Thornton openly claimed that being physically intimate with a beautiful woman, who is either a model or an actress, feels like making love with a couch. His words, during that time and even now caused many headlines to spin and articles to be published. But Jolie wasn’t mentioned specifically in that comment.

“Sometimes with a model, the actress or the sexiest person in the world, it may be like literally f***ing the couch.”

With such a statement, Thornton has surely made the headlines of multiple news articles and many even drew his statement being targeted towards Jolie. The timing was also very convenient as Thornton made the statement after their divorce was finalized in mid-2003. But, although it was a wild remark, Jolie being the target was just a speculation from all the fans and even the social media.

Thornton and Jolie were a couple for several years, navigating the ups and downs of their relationship like any other and they surely enjoyed each other during their time together.

Angelina Jolie & Billy Bob Thornton: Passion, Blood Vials, and a Hollywood Farewell

The brief but intense romance between Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie will go down in history as a wild ride filled with intensity and strangeness in equal measure. They met on the set of Pushing Tin in 1999, and sparks ignited, but initially, they were both involved with others. But by 2000, they were infatuated and had eloped in a laid-back ceremony in Las Vegas, where Jolie was dressed in jeans.

Their public and intense love was frequently shown by boundary-pushing PDAs. Just a peek into their unusual world included matching vials of each other’s blood worn around their necks as anniversary gifts and tattoos proclaiming their unwavering love. Their plot also revolved heavily around intimacy. They openly talked about their s*x life, revealing details that raised eyebrows and fueled headlines.

Some saw it as liberation, others, as a cry for attention. Whatever the case, it underlined how simple and unreserved their relationship was. But beneath the ardent exterior, cracks emerged. Their robust relationship was unable to conceal their divergent aspirations for their lives. Thornton didn’t seem to be able to share Jolie’s vision of a world beyond acting through her humanitarian efforts in Cambodia.

They announced their divorce in 2002, barely three years into their union. The following year saw the divorce become official. Thornton eventually married Connie Angland, and Jolie went on to find love and a family with Brad Pitt. Looking back, their relationship served as both a sobering reminder of how transient love is and a monument to its euphoric power. Their tale, a warning against the perils of passion and a glimpse into a Hollywood romance unlike any other, never ceases to captivate us.
