Billy Bob grateful for stable relationship

Actor Billy Bob Thornton has said he and Halle Berry got through their intense, explicit love scene in the film Monster’s Ball because they both had stable personal lives off-camera.

Thornton plays a death-row prison guard who falls in love with Berry’s character, the wife of a man who has recently been executed.

Thornton is married to actress Angelina Jolie. Berry is married to singer Eric Benet.
