I’m still weirdly obsessed with the idea that Val Kilmer and Angelina Jolie “dated.” Val has written a memoir about his life and loves and losses, and he name-checked several women in the book. He for-sure dated Cher and Daryl Hannah and he talks about those relationships with a lot of love. Again, this is what People Mag excerpted from what he said about Jolie:
He also says Jolie was “perhaps the most soulful and serious of them all…. When people ask what she’s like, I say she’s like other women and other superstars, just MORE,” he writes of his ex.
I’m stuck on this. The rumors around the set of Alexander were that Angelina eventually settled on a friendship/friends-with-benefits thing with Colin Farrell, and that only happened after every man on that production threw themselves at her. Apparently, just a few years back, Kilmer wasn’t claiming that he dated Angelina, just that they kissed once:
Once Angelina Jolie gave me a ride home on a jet. I surprised her by filling it w/gardenias. She'd also brought a French actor. He was mad.

no we're just friends. We kissed once in an elevator. But who hasn't?

This is three-year-old tea (actually closer to 17-year-old tea) I realize, but I’ve yet to see any other outlets talk about these tweets! As for the French actor… Olivier Martinez, non? Je parie. I always thought/believed that La Jolie and Olivier had a thing too. That three-year space of time between Billy Bob Thorton and Brad Pitt was WILD (I also think Angelina was still banging Jonny Lee Miller when she first started seeing Brad, but no one brings *that* up). But I still don’t believe Angelina and Val dated in any sense, nor do I believe she qualifies as an “ex.” Meanwhile, Val also talks about not having a girlfriend for twenty years:
He’s dated some of the most famous women in Hollywood, but in his new memoir, I’m Your Huckleberry, Val Kilmer, 60, opens up about the current status of his love life.
“I haven’t had a girlfriend in 20 years. The truth is I am lonely part of every day,” Kilmer writes.
The actor famously dated Daryl Hannah, Cindy Crawford, Angelina Jolie and Cher and married actress Joanne Whalley in 1988. The two divorced in 1996 and share two children: daughter Mercedes, 28, and son Jack, 24. Kilmer says he has always been intrigued by women.
“I’ve always found women infinitely more interesting than men,” Kilmer writes. “Perhaps that’s why we’ve always gotten along. We are big oafy elephants … and they are butterflies.”
Women ARE more interesting than men. It’s just a factual statement. When I was 16-20 years old, I wish I had known how most men are just simple creatures. I thought they were so mysterious and they’re just not.

I think Jonny lee Miller & Ralph Fiennes were Angelina’s two main lovers? Farrell spent one night with her Christmas Eve in Egypt, they both implied that in past interviews. Val Kilmer is hard to read as don’t know when he’s being serious? I take everthing he says with a huge grain of salt.
ew, Ralph Fiennes? I seem to recall he hooked up with a flight attendant, ON the plane/during the flight, sans protection.
and if he was that careless with a random, I’m guessing he’s not that careful overall.
Yeah, I don’t think Val is implying that he dated Jolie. More that he was asked questions about women he knew in general. And I hate statements that women are better or more interesting. Neither men or women corner the market on being “interesting.” It just depends on the individual IMO.
If I was gorgeous and single like her I would have done the same 😀
Honestly, all I can think about is that it must have been so uncomfortable for her, just trying to do her job on set and having every man there hit on her. So unprofessional. Makes me wonder if she just “picked” one so the others would leave her alone. Especially given what we know about Hollywood, how much consent did she really have with any of this stuff? Stories like this, where men look back happily on that time they were gross on set, makes me so skeeved out. I would bet AJ has a lot of tea to spill.
Right? I can’t imagine trying to do my job while constantly having to dodge advances. My employer has very clear rules about harassment etc, but a movie set, no HR nowhere to go.
They did kiss once? It must have been when he was still half-decent looking.
“Once Angelina Jolie gave me a ride home on a jet. I surprised her by filling it w/gardenias.”
Gardenias have a lovely scent. You know where that scent, or any scent, isn’t so lovely? ON A PLANE. My sinuses are screaming just at the thought.
I love Angelina, BUT she has the worst taste in Men or romantic partners!! 😒 I mean… Johnny Lee Miller, Timothy Hutton, Billy Bob Thornton, Colin Farrell, Jenny S. and the worst of all… Brad Pitt!! 😐 See what I mean??
Johnny and Colin are actually decent men..
Colin decent??? Hahahah emotionally unstable..read how he treated his ex partners. Looks like some kind of emotional toxic turmoil. And for me this verges on some kind if personality disorder.
I am from Dublin and “know” a bit more details about my ex husband’s schoolmate:)
Sierra…
Poster olala is right!! Colin is not a decent men!! He has been horrible to his ex’s!! Just Google the way he treated his ex, who is now Jamie Dornan aka Christian Grey wife!! And he has a sex tape!! 😐
There are so many sad broken stories left behind him. Just read Emma Forrest memoir. It was heartbreaking the way he dumped her. He dated also a girl from Dublin some medical student and tragedy occured I think her bf killed himself as it was all messy.
Also the way Farrell was presented portrayed in America: bad boy poor Irish. All bs. He was from rich very up middle class family and grew up in fancy area. He was well presented in Ireland by very high end agency. And more and more. He is just mess.
I find it distasteful and disrespectful that people have this need to publicize who they had sexual relations with and then provide details. Or is it acceptable for famous folks because of there is public interest in their lives?
Am I the only one, who has NEVER understood the appeal of Farrell? Even when he was “hot”? Not attractive, weird looking, unkempt, can’t act, seems like a smug jerk. What is the appeal?? How did/does he pull these incredibly beautiful women? Must be incredibly charistmatic in person or something.
Is there actually an excerpt in the book saying that he dated Angelina, or is People magazine just inferring? He could just be talking about women he’s gotten to know; which will happen on a film set.
