Billy Bob: 'Angelina's One Of My Best Friends'

Some people can be friends with their exes, some can't. And apparently Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thorton definitely can.

In fact, Billy Bob just told Parade.com that his ex-wife is "one of his best friends in the world"!

When the site asked the Sling Blade star how his relationship with Angelina is today, five years after they ended their three-year marriage, he told them: "I've never said anything but good things about any relationship I've had and, frankly, that's all I remember about them.

"I have the utmost respect for Angelina.

"She's a very sweet person, very talented and one of my best friends in the world."

It's all very civil, but we just can't help but wonder how Brad feels about that...
