Why do so many beauties fall for Hollywood's most unlikely lothario? Billy Bob Thornton has charmed Angelina Jolie and now Amber Heard

• Billy Bob Thornton, 61, was named in US court papers following the very acrimonious divorce of actor Johnny Depp to his ex-wife Amber Heard
• Thornton previously had a very stormy marriage to Angelina Jolie
• The actor has strenuously denied having an affair with Amber Heard

  What kind of man could provoke one of Hollywood’s leading actors into such a jealous rage over his beautiful wife, that he scrawled accusations of infidelity on a mirror in his own blood?
  Surely a young, handsome heart-stopper chap whose star is at his zenith — not a 61-year-old with five failed marriages behind him.
  And yet it is Billy Bob Thornton who, it has emerged in U.S. court papers, was linked to Pirates Of The Caribbean star Johnny Depp’s then-wife, 30-year-old Amber Heard.Once famously married to Angelina Jolie, one of the most striking actresses of her generation, Billy Bob Thornton is Hollywood’s most unlikely lothario
  The pair are co-stars in Heard’s latest film, a screen version of Martin Amis’s novel London Fields, and despite a 31-year-age gap, it wouldn’t have been the first time the rubber-lipped, silver-haired actor and filmmaker had punched above his weight on the romance front.
  Once famously married to Angelina Jolie, one of the most striking actresses of her generation, Thornton is Hollywood’s most unlikely lothario.
  A six-times-married womaniser who boasts of kissing a woman so hard he draws blood and who never wasted a limo journey with wife number five — Jolie — just staring out of the window. During one awards ceremony interview, they revealed they’d just had sex on their way to the event. Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Errol Flynn? Mere novices in the ways of Eros compared to Billy Bob.
