Val Kilmer was excited to do more than just work with Angelina Jolie.

The “Top Gun” star, 60, confessed that he had feelings for his “Alexander” co-star, Jolie, 44, long before they began working together on the 2004 film.

In his new memoir, “I’m Your Huckleberry,” Kilmer recalled that he and Jolie first met on the street in New York where he made a “fool” of himself years before Oliver Stone cast them as husband and wife in the period drama.

When they did end up working together, he wrote, “We developed a friendship. I was around when Angie’s mom [Marcheline Bertrand] was losing her battle with cancer. They were living in her mom’s favorite hotel. Or maybe it was Angie’s. I happened to be staying there myself. It was meaningful and mortal and effortless and exquisite.”

Kilmer continued, “I couldn’t wait to kiss Angie, buy her [a] Gulfstream jet and have V+J painted in rainbow glory on the tail.”

He also confessed that he told Stone that he would only play the role “if the king and queen could have flashbacks to falling hard for each other and storming the castle with passion, before turning against each other.” Kilmer admitted that he “was only half kidding,” but Stone “didn’t pick up on the humor.”

Jolie wasn’t the only woman to be the apple of Kilmer’s eye.

He also detailed his painful breakup with Daryl Hannah in the memoir, saying, “Lord knows I’ve suffered heartache. But Daryl was by far the most painful of all.”
