Billy Bob Thornton reassured his ex-wife Angelina Jolie with some helpful words as she was grieving over the death of her mother.

Angie told Marie Claire Magazine about how her former beau called her to offer his words. "He said, 'You'll never get over it. It's never going to be OK, and once you accept that, you realise you never want to get over it.' He said, 'Just kind of let it sit with you, and let it be a part of who you now are.'"

After seeing Billy Bob�s performance in the movie Bad News Bears, we don�t doubt his coaching skills one bit.
