So this is weird...
Val Kilmer apparently is a huge fan of Cate Blanchett, because he can't seem to stop gushing about her on Twitter! The Batman star didn't hold back on his admiration for the Aussie actress over the weekend, and while we actually agree with him, we're kind of wondering what spurred this sudden lovefest on social media?
"Once I flew all the way to Australia just to talk to Cate Blanchett. Her husband met me first. Or, instead, I guess, to be accurate," he wrote of his run-in with the Oscar winner's husband Andrew Upton. "And recently I’ve had 2 dreams with #CateBlanchett in them. Her husband wasn’t in either of them," he added.
"She’s just as amazing in person. Some super stars aren’t-Some superstars don’t do a thing to ya in person-Cate is so real it’s almost unreal. Once I did a cameo just to hang w/ #cateblanchett who pickd up a shovel in our sc. I was so dazzled by HOW she picked it up I forgot my line. I mean even if she couldnt act you know what I mean?" he continued.
After a number of fans openly wondered what on Earth was going on, the actor explained himself.
"I’ve never done said or written a single idea that wasn’t of the highest respect and admiration for #cateblanchett or any other great talent. She’s a friend of mine and I’ve met her husband thru the years and we’ve all gotten along just fine. Anyone who thinks I need to curb my enthusiasm for a great rare artist doesn’t understand how difficult the job is and how we artist count on the respect of our peers. She will back up every word I say n love that I say I love her. I would love an actor I didn’t even enjoy if he flew the world to talk about a role," he clarified in a series of messages.
It's only Monday and this is already our favorite story of the week!
