feels sorry for his ex-wife . The 'Monster's Ball' star is grateful he doesn't have to endure the media frenzy which surrounds Jolie and her lover .

He said: "I do feel sorry for Angie and Brad. The only time you hear about me is when I've got a movie coming out and I like it like that. They have to cope with it all the time."

Thornton and Jolie remain close despite divorcing five years ago citing "irreconcilable differences". The 52-year-old actor also considers her new partner Pitt a good friend. He said: "I'm still close to Angie but Brad's a friend too. We've known each other for years."

Thornton is set to star in movie '', on which Pitt will be a producer. Based on the novel of the same name by Leif Enger, the film will see Thornton play a janitor in 60s Minnesota, who is secretly capable of performing miracles and brings his still-born child Ruben back to life.
