Long before Angelina Jolie's tragic marriage to Brad Pitt, the actress had another famous husband, actor Billy Bob Thornton. Their short marriage—lasting from 2001 to 2003—caused a sensation due to its eccentricities, such as supposedly wearing lockets containing vials of each other's blood. Now the 70-year-old actor has sought to clarify some things about this accessory that generated a great deal of media attention at the time.

The fact that actors and actresses are public figures whose joys and sorrows we know—or think we know—in detail makes it sometimes difficult to separate the role they play from their personal lives. This is true of Angelina Jolie and the film she presented this Sunday at the San Sebastián Film Festival, the drama set in the world of fashion, Couture, in which the actress plays a film director who, during the filming of a fashion film In Paris, she is diagnosed with cancer that will force her to make drastic decisions about her body and her life, as Jolie herself had to do when she underwent a double mastectomy to prevent the high probability of developing breast and ovarian cancer, a disease that already caused the death of her mother at the age of 56. Angelina Jolie is already 50, and in Couture not only showcases her great mature beauty, but it is one of her most solid roles in recent years.
