Billy Bob Thornton was interviewed by GQ magazine recently and he talked about his marriage with Angelina Jolie as well as his insecurities possibly being the reason why their relationship did not work out. He pointed out that he never felt that he was good enough for her due to her saint-like ways.
E! News reported that Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie had a short-lived marriage but it was highly publicized. In the November 2016 issue of GQ magazine, the actor said that their different lifestyle choices contributed greatly to the 2003 divorce of the then-couple.

For the next 10 years, she went on to embark on field missions more than 40 times to support refugees from all over the world. Billy Bob Thornton said that while Angelina Jolie went out of her way to fulfill her responsibilities, he was more concerned about his life at home.
The now-61-year-old actor shared, "I never felt good enough for her. I'm real uncomfortable around rich and important people." He also noted that Angelina Jolie never pressured him to change for her nor did he feel the pressure to change who he is because he likes who he is.
