Val Kilmer looks terrible

[rearnakedchoke]

Was he a tobacco chewer or cigar smoker? Throat cancer?

 

[usmctanker242]

He definitely fucked himself with that Christian Scientist bullshit and refusing any effective treatment for so long. Either way he has been in some of my favorite movies of all time, so I still can't help but feel sorry for him. Real Genius, Tombstone, Top Gun, Top Secret!, Heat, and Willow...the guy has played many different characters and done a lot of them very well. Outside of stories about him being demanding on set I've never heard anything negative about his personal life. He has donated a fuck-ton to charity over the years and seems like a good dude.

Greatest role was Nick Rivers.
He'll always be Nick to me.

"My name is Hillary."

"What does it mean?"

"It means she whose breasts defy gravity. What does your name mean, Nick?"

"Oh, nothing. My father thought of it while he was shaving."

this is definitely NOT.......Mel Torme

I'll add the Doors in there as well

hoping the best for Val, looks like he needs more fruit in his life

Val Kilmer has been battling throat cancer for a few years now and you can see the toll it took on him.



Hang in there Iceman

Sad. Looking forward to Top Gun 2.

Throat cancer? Isn't that what you get from licking pussy? Seriously. Stop doing that. It's dangerous.

Eat their asses instead.

He was probably munching more box than Michael Douglas.

 

[Cantalope]

His performance in Tombstone is an all time classic.

Rourke used to be a handsome dude.

So were you.

A Doran Grey situation? Cruise doesn't age but Kilmer does instead of the painting.

I always thought Kilmer would get a bit of a comeback after good performances in stuff like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and the Bad Lieutenant but sadly it never really happened.

 

[Uber_Noober]

Cancer literally transforms you, my buddy had throat cancer and it did much the same thing to his appearance

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

Meh.. he’s pushing 60 and is battling a shitty disease. I give dude a pass on looking rough.

 

[rj144]

I don't get what happened, he must have really abused alcohol/drugs and not taken care of his body at all for him to look so different. Even though he's a lot older he doesn't resemble anything like what he used to look like when he was younger

He has throat cancer. Did you miss that?

[Morning Star]

Wasn't he refusing treatments due to his religious beliefs?

I think he was initially. My Step-Mom is in the same religious cult as him. Christian Science aka healing through prayer. Having science in the title is an oxymoron. My Step-Mom almost died a decade ago because she was refusing to go to the doctor to get her burst appendix removed. My Dad forced/convinced her to go. So fucking dumb.

I honestly don't know how people can be that fucking stupid.

Religion is fucked. I'm dealing with my father in law having a mental illness right now, and I'd never thought of it until we started dealing with it, but the parallels between religion and mental illness are quite shocking.

 

[Huhla]

And to think none of these youngos saw The Salton Sea

 

[JabToucher]

I didn't know cancer also caused terrible fashion sense!!

Great, underrated movie

I saw an interview of Michael Biehn talking about playing Ringo in Tombstone. He said he has heard the stories too, and that though Kilmer was a bit of a perfectionist, he worked hard and had never been the least unpleasant around him.
