Val Kilmer has been sharing his thoughts about Cate Blanchett on Twitter in the past few days - and it's getting a bit, er, weird.
It all began over the weekend, when Kilmer tweeted this:

Hmmm...
Next, he retweeted this fan's tweet, naming Cate Blanchett the ultimate #WCW:
In perhaps the most bizarre tweet - which has since been deleted - Kilmer said the following: "Recently I've had 2 dreams with #CateBlanchett in them. Her husband wasn't in either of them."
Um, ok.
But guess what? It doesn't stop there. Val continued on his half-flattering, half-creepy rampage, writing: "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."
And then: "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."
Naturally, Twitter users have been left a little baffled by Kilmer's words, so much so that he had to take to the platform again to defend himself.
In more since-deleted Tweets, he wrote:
"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."
We think it's fair to say someone has a bit of a crush...
