L. Cohen/Image Wire)Jolie and Thornton’s romance was controversial from the start. After spontaneously tying the knot in Las Vegas, the couple raised eyebrows in 2001 when they started wearing necklaces filled with each other’s blood. Thornton addressed the necklaces – and the public reaction to them – while speaking to students at Loyola Marymount University in 2014.
“We were apart a lot because she doesn’t do it Tomb Raider and i do Dance of the Monster. … She thought it would be interesting and romantic if we took a few razor blades and sliced our fingers, spreading a little blood on these locks. And you wear it around your neck just like you wear your son or daughter’s baby hair in one. The same,” he explained. “From that, we wore quart jars of blood around our necks. And we were vampires and we lived in a dungeon.”
Thornton and Jolie, who had a 20-year age gap, announced their plans to adopt Maddox’s son in 2002, but Jolie later completed the adoption on her own. She and Thornton separated in 2002 and divorced the following year.
“I remember our time together was really great,” Thornton said of Jolie during a 2018 interview for the “HFPA in Conversation” podcast series. “We had different lifestyles. Hers is a global lifestyle and mine is an agoraphobic lifestyle. So, that’s really – that’s probably the only reason we’re not still together, maybe, because of a different path in life that we wanted to take. “

During the 2015 appearance on The Late Late Show With James CordenThornton said the couple decided to marry mainly because of their daughter.
“After a while, it was like, ‘Why aren’t my mom and dad married after 12 years?'” she explained. “The reason I didn’t want to (get married at first) is that my marriages were always very short, and I don’t like trying to fix things that aren’t broken. I said, ‘Look, I have a pretty bad record, and things are going well.'”
Although marriage wasn’t as important to him the sixth time around, Thornton has credited Angland with pulling him out of the slump when they met on the set of Bad Santa Claus in 2003.
“(Connie) Carrie’s sister was a makeup artist on Bad Santa Clausand he said, ‘My sister is going to visit, and I had a feeling you were really going to like her.’ And, sure enough, I did. And we were together within maybe a few months. She kind of (dragged) me out of the gutter, which was great,'” Thornton said during a November 2024 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. “We’ve been together longer than if you put the other five (marriages) together, it’s more time.”
