Oh quarantine, how you’ve launched us down the rabbit hole of longing for days long past. From nostalgia TV to 90s high-street wish lists, it seems we’re all spending these weeks in lockdown looking back to dreamier times. The best part of that? The glory of old celebrity interviews.
Back in the day, when today’s Hollywood top hitters were all in their early 20s, falling out of clubs and getting married to their co-stars, it was truly a glorious time for show business. This is evidenced by none other than a trending interview with Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob-Thornton, who - if you forgot - were married for three years from 2000-2003.
A few months into dating - before the marriage and subsequent divorce – Jolie and Thornton appeared on the red carpet together for Gone In 60 Seconds, back in 2000. During an interview with MTV, they were asked the most exciting thing they’ve ever done in a car together… yes, really. And while the question alone might make you sit back in your seat, get ready for the answer.
‘I think it was today,’ Thornton replied. ‘My favourite one in a car was today……just before we got here. What is this MTV? You want me to be honest with you? We fucked in the car.’
Honestly, words don’t do it justice, you have to see the whole video. Because, the entire time Thornton was admitting this to an MTV reporter, Jolie was biting his face. Again, really. Take a look for yourself:
Naturally, the world uncovering this 20 years later has led to an entire new wave of obsession with the unapologetically honest couple. Nearing five million views, the interview has a ton of retweets with viewers sharing various #couplegoals sentiments – as evidenced by the above tweet. The caption ‘dating to marry? I’m dating to do this.’ has nearly 150,000 likes alone.
Honestly, we’re just obsessed with the fact this content exists. Give us all the noughties celeb nostalgia right now, it’s a pit we’re more than happy to disappear into.
