Colin Farrell wasn’t the only “Alexander” co-star that Angelina Jolie was reportedly linked to. Val Kilmer, who played King Philip II to her Queen Olympias in the 2004 historical epic, was also rumored to have become romantically involved with the Oscar winner. And he didn’t exactly diffuse such talk in his memoir, “I’m Your Huckleberry,” published 16 years later.
“I was rescued from an icy inferno of solitude by another angel,” was how Kilmer poetically described the nature of his relationship with Jolie before adding, “When people ask me what Angelina is like, I always say she’s like other women and other superstars, but just more. More gorgeous. More wise. More tragic. More magic. More grounded. Is it worth it? Worth knowing people who require weeks of effort to understand even a little? Yes.”

And the gushing didn’t stop there. Kilmer also admitted that he couldn’t wait to lock lips with Jolie before they met and even tried to persuade director Oliver Stone to include more sex scenes between their regal characters. He also described the humanitarian, who’d just adopted son Maddox at the time of their apparent courtship, as “the perfect picture of unapproachable stardom and impossibly chic maternal instinct.”
