Billy Bob Thornton has stated that he is proud of his ex-wife Angelina Jolie for adopting Zahara Marley.

He and Jolie adopted Cambodian orphan Maddox before their split in 2003, who has since remained with Jolie. The Mr. & Mrs. Smith star has now adopted her second child, Ethiopian AIDS orphan Zahara Marley.

The Evening Echo reports that Thornton has been very impressed by Jolie's handling of children, saying: "Gosh, she's been amazing these last few years and I'm so proud of her and happy for her.

"She loves Maddox more than life, so I'm really happy for her."
