Angelina Jolie and I talk every now and then, says ex-husband

Angelina Jolie's ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton has revealed that he is still in talking terms with the actress.

The two were married for three years, and even though they showed their affections by wearing viles of each other's blood around their necks, they ended up divorcing in 2003.

"We talk every now and then, she seems to be doing very well directing her own movie, which I am so proud of her for," HollywoodLife.com quoted Billy Bob, as saying at the Disney On Ice, Starlight Children's Foundation and AEG's Season of Giving event December 15 in Los Angeles.

"I always thought she should do that, writing and directing. She's real smart, and very creative, and I think it's a great job for her," he added.
