Both of them are still friends until now despite that they have divorced after three years of marriage. Angelina Jolie even send presents to Thornton's son on Christmas day every year.
He told this during an interview for HFPA in Conversation about their friendship, “I look at that time as a great time. Angie is still a friend of mine and she’s a great person and she’s done so much.”
Why did they split? Thornton explained, "We just had different lifestyles. Hers is a global lifestyle and mine is an agoraphobic lifestyle. So, that’s really—that’s the only reason we’re probably not still together, maybe, because of a different path in life we wanted to take.”
About the blood vial necklaces, Thornton claimed that the media make it a big deal out of it.It sounds like they are like vampires.
He explained, “The necklaces were a very simple thing, ‘Hey, let’s poke our fingers with a pen and smear a little blood on there, and when we’re away from each other we’ll wear the necklace.’ It was that easy. But by the time it came out in the press, it sounded like we were wearing a bucket of blood around our necks.”
“The movies she makes are still things that are important to her. Whether they succeed or fail, she still does what she believes in. And I’ll always respect her for that.”
