You always get the feeling with BBT that there's a possibility of him being a nutjob. An air of bonkers menace hangs over the silver-haired actor, who wrote, directed and starred in Sling Blade in 1996. The film, about a mentally disabled man released from hospital, won Thornton the Oscar for best adapted screenplay and a nomination for best actor. He has been married five times, most famously and recently to fellow crazy Angelia Jolie but has now said he won't marry again.
