Billy Bob and Angelina to exchange home-made presents

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie are making Christmas gifts for each other rather than buying them.

He wouldn't say what he's making for his wife.

But the star of The Man Who Wasn't There said the results could be disastrous.

"We decided to give each other one thing apiece. And that's something that we'll make," said Thornton.

"If you knew anything about how little we know how to make, it's pretty hilarious.

"She's ruined a few things trying to make me something already.

"Like she tried to knit a scarf and she said it was a real disaster."

"I think she'll like what I'm going to give her. I'm just making her a little thing. I mean it's very simple what I'm making her. It's not weird or particularly interesting, but to her, it will be."
