Billy Bob Thornton supports ex-wife Angelina Jolie's plans to continue adopting kids from around the world.

The Monster's Ball actor - who was married to Angelina for three years until 2003 – has only fond memories and kind words to say about his ex wife.

Billy Bob tells Metro, “She’s a wonderful person and one of my best friends. I love her. I always have, I always will.

“She’s an amazing person who’s endured a lot and every thought I have for her is positive.

“It’s so funny that people put her down sometimes: ‘Why is she having so many children?’ It’s nobody’s business why she’s having so many children. If that’s what she wants to do, she has every right to.”

The Tomb Raider star – who recently gave birth to twins Vivienne and Knox – has three adopted and three biological children with partner Brad Pitt.
