Billy Bob's sex let down

Billy Bob Thornton seems to have launched a veiled attack against ex wife Angelina Jolie - hinting she could have been a let down in the bedroom.

The director-turned-actor, who enjoyed a tempestuous marriage to the screen beauty before they split in 2002, has been giving out dating tips, claiming love-making with someone who is the "sexiest person in the world" can be a big disappointment.

He told Britain's Esquire magazine: "Sex doesn't have to be with a model to be good. Sometimes with the model, the actress or the 'sexiest person in the world', it may literally be like f***ing a couch."

Last year, Jolie was famously voted the sexiest woman on the planet by readers of the same magazine.

Thornton also claims average-looking women are "better in bed".

The 'Monster's Ball' star insists men should look beyond physical beauty because it is no guarantee of a wild time between the sheets.

He added: "Don't count out the average-looking woman, or even maybe the slightly unattractive woman, or the really unattractive woman.

"There may be this swarthy, little, five-foot-two stocky woman who just has sex written all over her."
