Angelina Jolie’s Ex-Husband Jonny Lee Miller revealed the crazy thing he had done to impress his former wife. In a February 14 interview on the Radio X Drivetime show, Miller looked back at his marriage life with the Maleficent star. The couple tied the knot in 1996 and later parted ways in 1999. Let’s check out the complete details of this story.
Jonny Lee Miller said he jumped out of an airplane to impress Angelina
The 51-year-old told in the show, “I was dating a young lady called Angelina and she said, ‘Let’s do something exciting this weekend, ‘Why don’t we go to Hemet, which is just outside L.A., and jump out of an airplane?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, of course, sounds great.’”
“She was cool as a cucumber,” Miller said of his ex-wife. “Fearless, that woman. And so, we did tandem jumps and I’m not going to lie, I found it terrifying, but I did it anyway.”
Moreover, he also recalled, “We went back because we did this program where you do a bit more technical stuff each jump, Then we trained for a solo jump, and thank goodness it was too windy, so we didn’t do the solo jump.”
Meanwhile, host Johnny Vaughan also recalled indulging in getting drinks with Miller in Costa Rica, where the Trainspotting star displayed his knife skills which he learned with the Oscar winner.
“I said to you, ‘How come you throw knives?'” Vaughan said. “You said, ‘Me and Angelina, we were in a hotel room when I was doing a Western or something and we used to spend the evening just knife-throwing together.’”
He added, “You were like, ‘Yeah, we used to just shove the duvet in a cardboard box and put the box down the end of the room and just chuck knives at it.”
“We’re all nodding like ‘cool girl, cool girl,’ and a bit of us were thinking, ‘That’s a night in,'” the host recalled. “It was also the fact that—this is how reckless he was—you’d say, ‘We just used to love doing tequila and throwing knives!'”
Despite the couple’s marriage didn’t last Mr. & Mrs Smith actress has been on good terms with the actor. As Jolie told Buzzfeed in 2014, “That’s where I met Jonny, who is still a great friend, So I think of him when I think of that. Although, I’m sure the movie looks so ancient now, but we had a lot of fun making that.”
