Val KilmerVal KilmerUsually an actor is proud of nailing a scene in one take, thinking it makes them look the height of professionalism - but not so with Val Kilmer. 

The Hollywood star has revealed that whilst filming Oliver Stone's Alexander, there were certain scenes that he purposely kept fluffing.

With Angelina Jolie taking on the role of his on-screen wife, Val wasn't overly fastidious about getting their love scenes right first time round - in fact he would deliberately get near the end of the action and then screw it up. 

"My role consisted mostly of sharing a bed with Angelina Jolie and throwing her around in it, which is about as much fun as it is possible for a man to have," he confessed. 

"Don't tell her or Oliver Stone this, but when we were doing the really sexy bits, I kept messing up my lines on purpose. I would get right to the end of the scene and then mess up the last bit so we would have to do it again. 

"I spent four months doing that all day and someone paid me millions of dollars for the pleasure." 

There seems to be a certain Angelina effect on Hollywood men, with Ethan Hawke admitting in 2004 that just starring in Taking Lives alongside her had suddenly made him popular again with all his old buddies - as they crept out of the woodwork in the hope of meeting her.
