Billy Bob Thornton Denies Mocking Angelina Jolie

Billy Bob Thornton has denied mocking his ex-wife Angelina Jolie about her relationship with current partner Brad Pitt.

The actor/singer was quoted at the press launch for his new record as saying, "[Angelina] is just going through a high school phase. You know dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there. She'll be waking up from that dream in no time."

He is then supposed to have added, "Who knows if I'll be there when she's ready to come to her senses though."

It all sounds very tongue-in-cheek, however, Billy Bob's rep denies that his client said any of the above.

AskMen – where the quotes first appeared – have since removed the story from their website.
