Ex Hollyoaks’ Paul Danan claims ‘kinky’ Angelina Jolie kissed him at afterparty while dating Billy Bob Thornton
FORMER Hollyoaks star Paul Danan has claimed Angelina Jolie kissed him at an afterparty for her film Gone in 60 Seconds.
The 43-year-old attended the star-studded film premiere in London in July 2000 at the height of his fame playing Sol Patrick on the Channel 4 soap.
At the time, the Oscar winner was accompanied to the cinematic event with her then husband Billy Bob Thornton.
The former couple, who were together for two years, famously declared their love by exchanging vials of their blood, getting matching tattoos and arranged for his-and-her's burial plots.
Despite having her other half with her, Paul claimed Angelina, 46, gave him a "two second" kiss on the lips after he lent in for a hug following a meaningful conversation.
Speaking about attending the film's afterparty on his podcast, Paul began: "I get there and I'm early and she's there. She must have left the film early.
"She's standing there with her bodyguard. I didn't even know who she was, I was kind of all about Nicolas Cage.
"We knew it was her and we start chatting and she's so chatty, really lovely. The bodyguard is getting a bit funny, like watching us if we're going to make a move, who are we," he recalled.

"Me and her were really chatting and I said, 'Well done with the film, and what are you up to now?' She's [in a relationship] with Billy [Bob Thornton] at the time and she's got the tattoo.
"After our little chat, we were like, 'OK, well done, see you a bit later.'
"I go to give her a hug because it felt like that kind of conversation, and as I go to give her a kiss on the cheek - bam.
"She turned my head and smacked me right on those lips. Boom. It was a proper two-second-er. On the lips, those Angelina Jolie lips."
Paul admitted the exchange "made his year" before claiming the acclaimed Hollywood actress was "kinky" and "flirty".
He shared: "I looked in her eyes and I was like, 'Thank you, you've made my year.'
"It was the most amazing... the bodyguard was about to come in and rip me to shreds.
I could feel her lip gloss on me. I swear, it was amazing.

"She's so kinky. She was a little flirt. She laughed and she smiled," the Celebrity Love Island star remarked.
"I wouldn't have a drink all night - I didn't want to wipe it off. I could feel her lip gloss on me. I swear, it was amazing.
"That's how cool Angelina Jolie was."
Two years on from the premiere, Angelina split from Billy and went on to marry Brad Pitt, adopt three children and welcome three biological kids.
AFTER HOLLYOAKS
However Angelina and Brad weren't meant to be. The star filed for divorce in 2016 after two years of marriage and 12 years together.
A year after his interaction with the Hollywood star, Paul left Hollyoaks.
After his time on the soap, he did the rounds on shows like Test Drive My Girlfriend, The Kevin Bishop Show and Stars and Strikes.
The TV star was one of Celebrity Love Island's best known contestants in the first two series of the ITV show way back in 2005.
