Billy Bob Thornton feels sorry for his ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
The 'Monster's Ball' star is grateful he doesn't have to endure the media frenzy which surrounds Jolie and her lover Brad Pitt.
He said: "I do feel sorry for Angie and Brad. The only time you hear about me is when I've got a movie coming out and I like it like that. They have to cope with it all the time."
Thornton and Jolie remain close despite divorcing five years ago citing "irreconcilable differences".
The 52-year-old actor also considers her new partner Pitt a good friend.
He said: "I'm still close to Angie but Brad's a friend too. We've known each other for years."
Jolie and Thornton adopted a son, Maddox, from Cambodia six months before their marriage broke up in 2002, but Pitt has since become the child's adoptive father.
Thornton is set to star in movie 'Peace Like a River', on which Pitt will be a producer.
Based on the novel of the same name by Leif Enger, the film will see Thornton play a janitor in 60s Minnesota, who is secretly capable of performing miracles and brings his still-born child Ruben back to life.

Sounds like it has altered your brain!
Jolie is a crazy woman. First she married you Billy Bob. Then she married another hillbilly name Pitt. She may have a gazillion bucks but she is still trailer park trash.

There is help for these crack heads. I am a recovered drug addict myself and almost exclusively got clean and sober through the help of AA. My AA friends never judged me on my use of cocaine, all they wanted to see was that I get clean and sober which I did by attending lots of meetings which I still attend to this day. I hope and pray that Billy gets the help he needs...
