Jonny Lee Miller Takes Skydiving Leap for Angelina Jolie
“I asked you, ‘Why do you throw knives?'” the 57-year-old began. “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.'”
As Vaughan recalled, “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.”
And Miller’s group of friends didn’t quite know how to respond.
“We’re all nodding like ‘cool girl, cool girl,’ and a bit of us were thinking, ‘That’s a night in,'” the host added. “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!'”
And while Jolie and Miller’s high-flying love ended in the late ’90s and are no longer married, they have remained good friends over the past two decades. In fact, the Maleficent star looks back at her time on the set of Hackers—where she met her first husband—in 1995 fondly.
“That’s where I met Jonny, who is still a great friend,” Jolie told Buzzfeed in 2014. “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.”
