Machine Gun Kelly & Megan Fox are ‘COPYCATS’ of wild ex-couple Angelina Jolie & Billy Bob Thornton, actor’s son claims
MACHINE Gun Kelly and Megan Fox are “COPYCATS” of wild ex-couple Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, according to the actor’s son.
Harry James Thornton called out the newly engaged couple for copying Billy Bob, 66, and Angelina, 46.
While talking to Page Six, Harry was asked to respond to MGK’s claim that he wears a vial of Megan’s blood around his neck.
Angelina and Billy Bob previously made headlines for wearing each other’s blood in vials around their necks during their high-profile romance.
Harry, 27, jokingly told the outlet: “Ah, they’re copycats!”
The Relatively Famous: Ranch Rules star further reflected on the infamous jewelry worn by his father and ex-stepmom, stating: “I just thought it was a necklace.
“Now … I think it’s gross to have someone’s DNA wrapped around your neck all day. It’s definitely interesting.”
Harry added that he found the parallels between MGK and Megan’s relationship Billy Bob and Angelina’s to be amusing.
“He set trends,” the E! star said of his father.
“I think that’s awesome. I can appreciate that.”
TRENDSETTERS
Billy Bob and Angelina, who were married from 2000-2003, shocked the world when they wore blood trinkets.
Back in June 2018, the Sling Blade actor spoke to People about the blood pendant after their split: “The necklaces were a very simple thing, ‘Hey let’s poke our fingers with a pen and smear a little blood on there and when we’re away from each other we’ll wear the necklace.'”
He concluded: “It was that easy. But by the time it came out in the press, it sounded like we were wearing a bucket of blood around our necks.”
In addition to Harry, Billy Bob shares son William, 28, with ex-wife Pietra Dawn Cherniak.
The actor is also the father to kids Amanda, 42, with ex Melissa Lee Gatlin and Bella, 17, with wife Connie Angland.
Meanwhile, Angelina shares six kids with ex-husband Brad Pitt, 58.
BLOOD COUPLE
Back in February 2021, MGK, 30, shared a snap of a necklace that he claimed carried a drop of Megan’s blood.
He wrote at the time: “I wear your blood around my neck.”
Megan, 35, continued to fuel rumors about the couple’s obsession with blood when she said they “drank each other’s blood” following their engagement.
Earlier this month, the Jennifer’s Body actress shared a video of the romantic proposal and captioned her post: “In July of 2020, we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic.
“We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time.
“Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma.”
The Transformers star continued: “Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him.
“And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes.”
