Billy Bob opened up at the event about where he stands today with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie. They got married in May 2000 and announced their separation in June 2002.

“We’re good friends. We’ve been friends for years and years and years,” he told Us Weekly. “So we keep up with each other. She’s not in town a lot, so we don’t see each other much, but we talk.”

Meryl Streep is all smiles while hitting the red carpet at the premiere of her film Florence Foster Jenkins held at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 Theater on Tuesday (August 9) in New York City.

The 67-year-old actress was joined by her co-stars Hugh Grant, Nina Arianda and Simon Helberg, as well as Meryl‘s daughter Louisa Gummer, Simon‘s wife Jocelyn Towne, Kelly Rutherford, Paul Haggis and designer Zac Posen with his mother Susan.

Meryl recently opened up about her and Hugh‘s love in the film and how it should not be dismissed in spite of the infidelities.

“I think especially, peering into other people’s relationships, it’s almost always not what you think it is from the outside, and I think it’s an accurate portrayal of realistic, delusional love,” Meryl explained (via CBS News). “It’s realistic because it is what it is and there is illusion and they both prop up… in this bubble of happiness.”

“I mean one of the genius things that Stephen did that’s embedded in the film is even in the margins, you feel the warmth,” Meryl added. “There’s so many analogies to now, figuring out what makes life worth living. Love and art, as far as I’m concerned, is right smack in the middle. So the compromises that people make to keep their happiness intact — I think that’s all in the service of good.”

Hugh Dancy and co-star Nina Arianda attend the after party for Venus in Fur on Tuesday (February 7) at the Muse Hotel in New York City.

Earlier in the evening, the 36-year-old British actor took the stage at the Lyceum Theatre for the play’s reopening performance.

Venus in Fur centers around “Vanda (Arianda), a preternaturally talented young actress determined to land the lead in Thomas’ (Dancy) new play based on the classic erotic novel [of the same name]. Vanda’s emotionally charged audition for the gifted but demanding playwright/director becomes an electrifying game of cat and mouse that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality, seduction and power, love and sex.”
