VAL KILMER - KILMER STALKED WHALLEY BEFORE THEY MET

VAL KILMER stalked his ex-wife, British actress JOANNE WHALLEY, before he had the courage to ask her for a date.

The TOP GUN star fell for the English beauty while filming his first film TOP SECRET! in London in 1984 - and used to follow her around town.

He reveals, "I was living in London making Top Secret! I'd follow her to a bar where she would go for drinks, but I never had the nerve to talk to her."

The couple officially met on the set of WILLOW in 1988 and fell in love. They married the same year. The pair split in 1996.
