Billy Bob Thornton says his romance with Angelina Jolie was a "crazy time", thanks to the intense glare of the tabloids.
Thornton was interviewed before students at Loyola Marymount University's School of Film & Television, an interview which the Hollywood Reporter says covered everything from his career to personal life.
When the topic shifted to his 1995 - 2003 relationship with Jolie, Thornton opened up about the tabloid frenzy over his alleged dungeon and carrying vials of each other's blood.

"I've never been fond of it," Thornton said, adding the "dungeon" in question was actually a recording studio in his basement.
