“With all due respect, the best onscreen kiss I had was Angelina Jolie,” the 54-year-old said of his costar in 2004’s Taking Lives on an episode of Watch What Happens Live. Comparing her to musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, he marveled of the pillow-lipped actress, “Angelina was born to whittle men and make them weak.
