His ex is married to her ex, but that doesn't stop Billy Bob Thornton admitting that he has a serious crush on Jennifer Aniston, with the actor revealing that it's actually his "lifetime girl" to make the Cake star his woman!
The 59-year-old couldn't hide the fact that he has the hots for Jen during a chat with Access Hollywood following his Best Actor win at the Golden Globes on Sunday. Indulging in a game of Would You Rather with the show's hosts, Thornton was asked who he would choose between the former Friends star and Reese Witherspoon, and he didn't hesitate to answer. "Jennifer Aniston. Lifelong goal, that's all I'm saying," the actor said with a smirk, before adding that he was joking. Although, we're not quite sure he was!
The game -- which was a follow on from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's Golden Globes act -- saw Aniston come up once again as the Fargo star was given a choice between the 45-year-old and Keira Knightley. "Jennifer Aniston. How many times does it take to get this through your head?" Thornton quipped. Sounds like a crush to us, Bob. The candid chat also saw the star reveal that he still keeps in touch with his ex wife, Angelina Jolie, who is now married to Aniston's ex-husband, Brad Pitt.

When asked if he still speaks to his ex, he said, "Oh, yeah, from time to time. Not often. I don't want to bug them. Everything's so good in her life right now. I'm so proud of her movie that she's got out (Unbroken). What a great thing." In fact, the star is so impressed by his ex's film-making ability, that he thinks she should do more. "I hope she does 10 more movies as a director," he shared.
One person Thornton doesn't think would make a very good director though? Himself. "I don't know. Television is a writer-producer medium, really, not too much the director. I'm nore sure I'm smart enough to create a show," the actor said when asked if he would consider directing episodes of his show Fargo. "I'm probably obsolete as a movie director in the current state of affairs," he added.
