This side-by-side comparison shot of Billy Bob Thornton illustrates how much his face has changed between a 2006 photoshoot and just one day ago, and it’s slightly mind blowing. Yesterday, Billy Bob attended the press conference for his new directorial project, Jayne Mansfield’s Car at the Berlin International Film Festival. However, I can’t even begin to consider this movie as either a case study or piece of art because Billy Bob’s face is … so weird. Even though his face has been looking ambiguously wonky over the past few years in terms of possible plastic surgery, it’s clear that he’s botoxed and spray tanned to the hilt right now, and it’s freaking me out because he used to have a very backwoods sort of appeal. Now he looks like a Madame Taussads waxwork:
In 2008, Billy Bob’s forehead was far more expressive as demonstrated at the Eagle Eye premiere:
And here’s a full-scale shot from that 2006 photoshoot:
Back to 2012, and he looks ridiculously overworked:
Yuck. Why would Billy Bob do this to himself? It’s bad enough when actresses botox and plastic surgery themselves into oblivion, but when actors do it, well, it’s even more obvious to the world. Men are supposed to look rumpled and ragged around the edges, not smooth as a marble statue. Anyway, Billy Bob apparently has other things on his mind than regular spray tanning and dermatology appointments. He’s making a movie that’s inspired by his past marriage with Angelina Jolie. Really.
Billy Bob Thornton is currently at the Berlin Film Festival to promote the first film he’s directed in over ten years, Jayne Mansfield’s Car, but it’s the movie he’ll make next that’s likely to get media tongues wagging. Entitled And Then We Drove and co-written by Thornton, it’s an “ethereal” story about a man on a road trip who picks up a wild woman, and one of the film’s producers tells Variety that it’s inspired by Thornton’s former relationship with Angelina Jolie. Let’s hope he doesn’t happen to run into his famous ex, who’s also at Berlin to promote her own movie, In the Land of Blood and Honey. Awkward!

Meanwhile, Billy Bob chatted up his ongoing (platonic) relationship with Angelina just a few days ago ahead of the Berlin Film Festival. He called Angelina “one of my best friends in the world” and went on to state, “I’ll love her until the end of my life and she’ll love me – as friends.” Do Angelina and Billy Bob even have occasion to speak to each other these days, or is he simply being diplomatic? I’ve always figured he thought of Angelina as “the one who got away,” but I could be wrong.
Here’s a mini-trip down memory lane with Angelina and Billy Bob doing some 2001 Christmas shopping together:
And here’s Billy Bob holding Maddox during his 2002 paparazzi debut. Awkward, right?

Too bad for him but I hope AJ sues his skinny butt off.He trashed her because she wanted a kid, he left her after that picture was taken because he didn;t want kids. Look how he never helped his own flesh and blood when she was on trial. BillyBob should know that if a woman lays there like a couch while are having sex with them it means YOU are doing it wrong.

She’s given very nice honest quotes about their divorce. Basically saying she got into humanitarian affairs and he was off doing music and they didn’t get together enough to explain it to each other so they drifted apart.
Sounded like one of those things and she seems to have no hard feelings. In fact I’ve never really heard angelina badmouth any of her exes.

I’m going to say he looks good, too. Maybe if he’d left his hair gray though? His surgeon did an excellent job, especially the eyes. He is still recognizable but what’s confusing is, did he ever really look like this, or is this the surgeon’s version of what he thought he must have looked like at some point? Kinda like what a forensic artist does?

I have always had the impression that he was/is her great love. For all her protestations, I have the impression that something died inside her once their relationship ended. BBT seems to be wistful about her, but I suspect that’t because he has a certain melancholy about him. The one period in her life when I really liked AJ was during the second half of her marriage to BBT.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Huh, I though he was more of a poison for her, and he was totally not on board with the adoption of Maddox. I figured that was the main reason they split. Also, she seemed more…fragile with him. She became a mom, matured, and moved on with someone more like-minded. That’s my two-bit version of events.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Don’t see him as having been a ‘poison’ for her at all. She matured a great deal during her marriage to him. Some of her best in interviews, in my opinion at least, are during the second half of her marriage to BBT and soon after their divorce. A certain vulnerability in love is also a good thing, I think. Necessary even. She certainly moved on with someone more down to earth with Pitt but I have always had the feeling that after her marriage to BBT ended she also gave up on a certain idea, or dimension, of romantic love. With regards to Pitt, I cannot help but feel that in him she found a reliable, dependable man that would grant her her wish for a large family. You see, Angelina srtikes me as someone who is socially very awkward and who does not have a great deal of friends which I suspect has something to do with the fact that she was (still is in a certain sense) very invested in the idea of romantic love. Since the demise of her marriage to BBT and getting together with Pitt I think she has increasingly channelled this into her very large family. It is not unusual for this to happen: Diane Keaton gave up on romantic love after she adopted her children.

Smooth faces don’t work out well on men because they don’t have the delicate, feminine features to support them. Men who overly botox end up looking like funeral directors or like Bruce Jenner’s brother. Neither is a good look.

The thing about kids is that they can make you face reality like nothing else. It’s hard to wallow in a failed relationship when you have to take care of a child. With kids you have to look ahead – that’s where their future is and yours.
I think that when BBT bolted she just got on with her life and put him behind her. I personally think it’s why Brad had to make such an effort to get her into a relationship with him. When you’ve got single motherhood pretty much down pat you dread anything that might disrupt your life – no matter how attractive it may seem.

BBT has always been immature and fug.
I remembered him saying that he never loved a woman like he loved Angie. That she was a great wife and that the failure of their marriage lies entirely on his feet, that she had nothing to be blamed for and that letting her go was the biggest mistake he ever made in his life.
After he walked away first, citing that he got scarded of the new Angie more mature and wanting different things he couldn’t provide, he came back and tried to prevent her to go on with the divorce but she went to the UK and refused to take his calls and pushed the divorce eventhough she was still in love.
He wasn’t prepared for her growth, her becoming more in tune with philantropy and her motherhood penchant. He relinquished all his paternal rights and Maddoxx became a Jolie after having been a Thorton.

Well, he did once have anorexia he said. So he has body image issues which probably go to aging also.
My favorite quote by Billy Bob on Angelina was discussing how amazing Angie was regarding her world humanitarism. He said while she is off doing all that, I am just sitting on my couch eating Cheetos or Cheerios, I think he said. I’m paraphrasing. I wish I could remember his full quote. It was pretty funny.
No, they don’t belong together. Angie has moved far past him. And he likes his life, not traveling (doesn’t he hate planes, a wife who devotes her time to him (no big career), and he adores his little girl, as he had all boys beofre. He has always said they stay in touch. I think that is great they were able to stay friends.

I suppose as a feminist I should be thrilled that men can also freak out about growing old and mess up their faces with botox and surgery. But I’m too depressed by Billy Bob’s smooth face to think critically. Sorry.
By the way, was/is Billy Bob anorexic or was that just a rumour? I can’t find a definitive answer on line.

NB: I have NO idea if this is true, or not, so take it with a huge grain of salt. BUT, I was talking to a friend who had “insider” information (Hollywood in general, not BBT and AJ specifically) shortly after they announced their separation, and she said that the rumors going around “town” were that BBT cheated on AJ and so she left. Again, I have NO IDEA if this true, I’m just saying it’s always colored my idea of BBT, especially since I’m a long time fan of AJs.
Also, he looks awful, now. Too bad.

Ask Petra, BBT ex-wife, wife when he hooked up with Laura Dern, what she thinks of Laura.(she was on ET or something talking about it) Maybe that was her karma.

Exactly. Laura Dern herself is a ‘homewrecker’ (what an absurd title but nevermind). People conveniently choose not to remember this.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Laura Dern lied to save face. BBT broke up with her before she went on location, and they were NEVER engaged. BBT refused to marry LD even though he left his 4th wife for her(Petra who has said on numerous occasions how nice Angelina is and how kind Angelina was to Petra who is very sick and BBT’s 2 sons) for LD. LD’s oldest child is just a few months younger than Ben Harper’s child with his ex-wife who was pregnant when he left her for LD.
BBT has said time and time again that he NEVER legally adopted Maddox and did not want to adopt Maddox at any time. Angelina adopted Maddox whose last name was always Jolie as a single Mom even though she was married to BBT, and until Brad adopted him, Maddox had no LEGAL father.
BBT also did not say he was making a film about Angelina, several sites are reporting that some “insiders” whoever they are threw Angelina’s name out in Berlin probably to generate PR to sell the proposed film at the Berlin Film Fest Mart.
I am just stating easily found verifiable facts, not tabloid fiction.
And in my opinion BBT did not love or value or 100% support Angelina as much as Brad Pitt does. Angelina was to stay a sexy young rocker follower forever with BBT the rocker and was not ever to become a Mom or use her brain or grow up.

I’ll bet Billy Bob’s life story would be an interesting read. He is absolutely weird, eccentric, but talented as well. I never really understood why he and AJ divorced. I don’t think it was over children as BB went on to have another child. Maybe he cheated on her too? It wouldn’t surprise me. I don’t get the “Well Laura Dern cheated too” school of thought as though somehow someone else’s bad behavior mitigates his own. It does not or in the words of my daddy “Two wrongs don’t make a right.”

It doesn’t matter if he had a child afterwards. Facts are facts, he didn’t want Maddoxx when he was with Jolie since he had no problem relinquinshing all his paternal rights.
So that specific adoption (maybe he only cares about natural kids and doesn’t feel drawn about adoptees) was by all means something he didn’t really want if he was so ready and so quick to relinquish all his paternal rights.
