Billy Bob Thornton is ''proud'' of the way his ex-wife Angelina Jolie handles her life.

The 56-year-old actor - who was married to Angelina from 2000 to 2003 - is impressed with how the actress, who has six children with Brad Pitt, deals with her hectic lifestyle and believes she and Brad are perfect for each other.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been given a warm welcome by their London neighbours.

The residents of the capital city's Richmond borough regularly offer up golfing equipment and food supplies according to reports.

Angelina Jolie has praised BIlly Bob Thornton's ''big, beautiful heart''.

The 'Salt' actress - who raises six children with fiance Brad Pitt - also praised her second husband's sense of humour when penning the foreword to his new autobiography 'The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts'.

Billy Bob Thornton claims his marriage to Angelina Jolie ended because he was ''too insecure''.

The 56-year-old actor - who split from the 'Salt' actress in June 2002 - said their relationship failed because he ''didn't think [he] was good enough for her''.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie decided to get married because of her work with the United Nations.

Apparently the couple feared she may not survive a dangerous new mission with the UN helping to battle drug lords.

Angelina Jolie has bought her fiancé Brad Pitt a helicopter and flying lessons.

The 36-year-old actress apparently spent £1million on the aircraft and flying lessons for Brad Pitt to go with the parking spot they happened to have built onto their European property.
