According to a new novel written by Christopher Andersen, Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand was eager for the musician to partner up with her daughter despite Jagger only being four years younger than Jolie's thespian father John Voight.

Andersen reveals that the Rolling Stones frontman would constantly bombard Jolie with calls begging to see her, reported Daily Mail.

Jolie's family friend Lauren Taines stated in the book, "Mick loved Angie and felt that he could teach her about fame."

The book titled 'The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger' also states the singer went after Jolie hard and was infatuated by her wild side even admitting that, "She scares me a little. I like that."

 

Even when Jagger was ending his marriage with Jerry Hall in 1999, he was still in pursuit of Jolie and presented her with a USD 5,000 pair of earrings.

The book alleges that by this stage Jolie, 37, was juggling Tim Hutton, future husband Billy Bob Thornton, Nicolas Cage and Russell Crowe.
