Val Kilmer left no stones unturned when he wrote his memoir,I’m Your Huckleberry, which was released in 2020. With a title ripped off from one of his famous lines inTombstone, the book was a brutally frank, tell-all tale of Kilmer’s life, including his love, loss, and regret. In one of his confessions in the book, the Batman Forever actor revealed his crush on co-star Angelina Jolie.
Kilmer worked together with Jolie in the 2004 film,Alexander. Both the actors had supporting roles in the film, playing Philip II of Macedon and Queen Olmypias, the feuding father and mother of Alexander the Great. Interestingly, Kilmer wanted a kissing scene with Jolie in the film and even jokingly told director Oliver Stone about it.

Kilmer shared in his book thathe couldn’t wait to kiss his co-star. He even went on to share that he would have bought her a Gulfstream jet with their initials ‘V+J’ painted on the tail. He revealed that at the time of filming, Jolie had just adopted Maddox and she was the postmodern Madonna according to the paparazzi. TheTop Gunactor wrote in his memoir (via PEOPLE):
I couldn’t wait to kiss Angie, buy her a Gulfstream jet and have a V+J painted in rainbow glory on the tail. She had recently adopted her first child, Maddox, and the paparazzi were obsessed with this postmodern Madonna, the perfect picture of unapproachable stardom and impossibly chic maternal instinct.
Oliver Stone, the director ofAlexander, didn’t get why Kilmer talked to him about including the flashback scenes. Kilmer tried to clarify that it was a joke but Stone didn’t exactly pick up on the humor as Kilmer had hoped. Finally, he explained,“I just dig her, Oliver. It would be nice if we had some flashbacks when they were in love and happy together.'”
