The 59-year-old actor was asked to play "Who Would You Rather?" on a chat show. When asked whom he would chose between Jennifer and Reese Witherspoon, Thornton chose Aniston, reported Ace Showbiz.
"Lifelong goal... That's all I'm saying," the 'Love Actually' actor said before laughing and saying, "Well I'm.. I'm joking."
Thornton was previously married to Angelina Jolie, who now is the wife of Brad Pitt, Aniston's ex-husband.
