Actor Val Kilmer was born on the 31st of December 1959 and died on the 1st of April 2025. The star of Top Gun and Tombstone, has died aged 65. He died from pneumonia.
He played a lead roll in Topgun but was also known for donning the batsuit in Batman Forever, following Michael Keaton.
Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 and later recovered, Ms Kilmer said. Val, a 2021 documentary about his life, showed him needing a breathing tube.
After losing his voice, a cameo in Top Gun: Maverick was made possible with the aid of AI technology. Kilmer's breakthrough role came with the 1986 classic Top Gun, and his role as Tom "Iceman" Kazansky.
But it almost didn't happen. Kilmer was courted by director Tony Scott but initially baulked.
"I didn't want the part. I didn't care about the film. The story didn't interest me," he wrote in his memoir.
He agreed after being promised that his role would improve from the initial script. However, it was his portrayal of rock star Jim Morrison in 1991's The Doors that earned him MTV's Movie Award for Best Male Performance.
I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible work you did. Your performances have brought so much joy and inspiration into my life and millions of others, and I truly appreciate the dedication and passion you brought to every role.
