Society was so cruel to him when he was going through cancer. Something so difficult, personal and trying. Just to have the world belittling him for his weight, not being in the public eye and not sharing his private struggles. I’m glad he is better
That’s the Hollywood “elite” for ya. When they want to protect one of their own, they rally around, painting pretty pictures…unless they don’t, and they didn’t with Val Kilmer. That’s sad. The world is so cruel.
Agree....they can't understand how difficult it is when your given a devastating cancer diagnosis. Even more so if your a prominent actor like Val Kilmer..Hollywood is merciless until it happens to them or a loved one. I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in May of 2011 and given on months to live. I went thru the treatments and went into remission in November 2011 and I have never looked back...It brought me to Christ as well in 2014. I am eternally 🙏 🙌✝️ grateful!
Throat cancer is the worst. Affects your ability to talk, eat, and even breathe. Especially for an actor that's just devastating. Very sorry he had to go through that.
My dad went through the same thing in 2000. He never adjusted to losing his voice and became a recluse. Glad to see Val living his life and enjoying his work again.
My granddaughter was diagnosed with throat cancer at the young age of 8 yrs old she is 15 doing great but the 2 things she loved doing most in her young life was singing and swimming she had a beautiful voice she won the talent show at her school only a few weeks before she lost her beautiful voice do the surgery she had to have
My impression of Val off screen is a good dude. He looked out for my sister for many years. She was in LA alone and he found her at the Apple store and stole her away.. She was his assistant for a good long while.. she never said one bad thing about him to me. And Im glad he was there to look out for her and not take advantage of a young girl like that.
Dam this is a great story if it's true! He just seems like he has a great heart and soul, I always wondered what happened to Val I don't really keep up with the stars I didn't even know he had throat cancer until the new TOP GUN MAVERICK came out!
Val Kilmer is the reason I love Tombstone so much. His one liners, and his portrayal of Doc Holliday - just superb. And it's pitiful, almost unbelievable, that the Academy didn't nominate him for best supporting actor. In my heart, he won it. Also, really happy Tom Cruise wouldn't do Top Gun Maverick without Val as Iceman. :)
I saw top gun Maverick yesterday. And seeing Val Kilmer as he is now whether you like him or not makes you sad. His part in the movie was small but extremely significant in what I thought was a great movie.
Yep, I think the way that Top Gun Maverick had him in such a key role in the story really showed that the hearts of the people who made that film were in the right place.
I just saw the movie myself, seeing Val in it, and knowing his struggle. I got a bit teary eyed watching that scene. Loved the movie BTW. So glad they included him in it.
I especially liked how they incorporated him fighting his throat cancer in the movie and that he was getting treatment still while filming the movie,he is so awesome
It's obvious that Hollywood was jealous of him.. as another comment below stated, no one mentioned why they didn't like working with him... He looks to be such a wholesome overall nice guy... instead of a show off like other actors... I love that his kids adore him and step up for him...
They do not like him because he is a Christian Scientist; that means he rejects all medical treatment and tells others to as well. He got treatment for hist throat cancer because his children who are not Christian scientists begged him to.
Val kilmer has always been an awesome actor.he is handsome also.I am very sorry that he had throat cancer and lost his voice.he sure has been through a lot.I saw his documentary val on prime video several times.he is so down to earth caring and funny.very talented also..he lost his younger brother Wesley in 1977 in a tragic accident in a pool.very sad.I love how his 2 children are very close with their dad.it is hard to hear about the unfair rotten negativity that he has been subjected to.I wish him and his family all the best and lots of happiness..
Since watching the documentary Val, I have deep respect and admiration for Val Kilmer, him being so honest with such private things. He was brilliant with his Citizen Twain character. Val Kilmer having such wonderful supportive children seems like a lovely rewarding achievement above all.
I loved Val Kilmer. His acting was always so real. He made you feel like you were there experiencing the role he was playing. So he was a little hard to work with, actors like him don't come along very often. I was so sorry to hear about his cancer. I am glad that he is healing, even if it takes some time. His autobiography was so eye opening. I don't think I can name just one film of his that I didn't like. Every one is so different from another. The mark of a true craftsman.
Val Kilmer never made a bad movie . And I love the fact that he is intelligent ! Lots of actors are not . Or if they are you would never know it. Very sorry about the throat cancer. Happy it brought him back to a loving , meaningful relationship with his children. ♥️
What I don't get is that Val is obviously so intelligent, yet he runs straight to toxic pharma for cancer treatment with no cures, only "remission." It either kills you or leaves you permanently scarred. David Bowie was another and millions more killed by treatment. Did not one of his friends suggest to him Gershon or Chris Beats Cancer therapies that address the cause, change the lifestyle and don't make the cancer worse???
@@Empathy4Animals411 I agree! ...but we will never know the reason, even 'intelligent' people have for doing what somebody else might not...when you stare death in the face, YOURSELF!...it's a completely different ball game! 🙏Salute to all survivors 🥰 I simply love VAL KILMER FOREVER!...♥️ #lovevalkilmer
Actually it was his children that recommended he go seek the standard toxic treatment of chemotherapy and radiation. They didn't know any better. But in this day and age I can't believe people aren't aware of Gershon or Chris Beats Cancer, therapies that don't poison and burn but address the cause and change the lifestyle. Not many survive chemo. They either die, are either permanently scarred, or it keeps coming back after spreading to the marrow, bones or liver. I feel sorry for him.
So... he made enemies for having high standards? No one bothered to mention why people hated working with him or whether it was for valid reasons or not. If his refusal to compromise his standards was taken as him challenging the authority of his superiors, then maybe it's the control obsessed superiors that were the difficult ones? This just leaves me with more questions than I had before it.
A director is in charge for a reason. I'm sure every actor on set thinks they know better and would like to do everything their own way. When the director allows that you end up with chaos. If he wants everything his own way do what Tom Cruis did, create your own projects and be a part of every decision. Don't just come on set demanding everyone else dances to your tune including the other actors. What makes you think he knew better than all the other people working on the project? If so where his his directorial breakthroughs?
You work with people every day, doing everyday jobs, there are hundreds of people on set, many are paid peanuts. Most actors or actresses don't act like dicks, but the ones who do, will get singled out. Most people on set don't get paid enough for that shit. Val Kilmer was a dick.
I was literally just remembering this role this morn. As I was listening to the Doors. I love him in every role he has been in. Especially Doc. Holiday.
Val Kilmer looks pretty good for someone who went through one of the most brutal cancers..He's 62 so he is not going to age backwards (plastic surgery) like a lot of actors...Very sad he had to go through cancer without a partner but i'm sure his kids were there along side him..That's the cruel thing about Hollywood..They love you when you are on top but gain an inch of weight and they humiliate you..Val paid his dues and is one of the best actors to come out of Hollywood..Thank you for your contribution to the movie industry..Playing Jim Morrison was one of your best roles...♥️
He's only in remission, as he went through multiple rounds of chemotherapy which only make the cancerous cells spread, and radiation, which burns the inside of your throat. He's obviously so intelligent, yet he runs straight to toxic pharma for cancer treatment with no cures. It either kills you right away or comes back, leaving you permanently scarred. Actually it was his children that convinced him to get the poison therapy, not knowing any better. I can't believe that no one he knew suggested non-toxic therapies like Gershon or Chris Beats Cancer that address the cause, change the lifestyle and don't make the cancer worse. What a shame.
Val Kilmer is a professional Artist, not an entertainer/ I think that he arduously endeavours to give his all b/c that is his vocation in life, same as Tom Cruise, Al Pacino, Robert Deniro, and unless they sell out for monetary gain, the cast and director are making films to teach, inspire, evangelize and educate/ Everything in life is theatre/ Entertainment is a moneymaking form of escapism/ Val Kilmer is very passionate about living in Love, Truth and Wisdom/
Not many comments for "The Ghost and the Darkness", which is one of my all-time favorites. Always have enjoyed Val's movies, and I'm sorry to hear about this throat cancer.
100% 🎯! For the life of me, I fail to understand how the bloody dickens these yuppy snothead 'reporters' dare comment on anybody's weight! Most of the blooming time they are young people with old people's bodies themselves! The man has been fighting cancer and you expect him to maintain his youthful appearance!!! Get a life you piece of crap! Go get cancer and see how you deal with it 😤Btw...I'm a senior with the shape and figure of a 17 year old because I chose a more holistic approach to my health issues... So to all these modern day sensation seeking ' reporters' get a decent job and earn your income honestly! 💥
The media seldom does anything good for our society. Back when they reported the actual news, fairly, balanced and with integrity, the media was a vital part of our society. Now, 97% of it is a cancer.
He nailed Holiday. Every time I watch that movie, I see yet, another nuance, and believe me, I already know most of the dialogue. While everyone else were superb, it was his film. Sad for him that he had to go through his battle with cancer pretty much alone. To his critics: just enjoy his movies, you can't possibly know what demons he has encountered.
Val Kilmer is a Phenomenal actor, one of the best to do it. I hate that Hollywood and the headlines have disrespected him so much. I'll always be a fan of his.
With no hesitation, my favorite is Tombstone♥️. Very happy for you on overcoming your battle with cancer. So happy to see the support from your family.
This guy is not a tragedy, he's a leading light in showing this fickle population how to carry on in the face of adversity God Bless you Val... you are a guarding light in a darkening world🏴🔥
I loved him in Tombstone and the Doors. It sucks that he had cancer, and terrific that he beat it, everyone isn’t so lucky. As far as the media dragging him, that’s what the media does. 🤷🏻♀️
Unfortunately I don't call just being alive "beating" cancer. He has a permanent hole in his throat, can't ever use his voice again, and has said that the cancer treatment was the cause of his suffering, not the cancer. He also said his throat is permanently dry. I think it'd be a horrific way to live.
@@maureen2777 It was a blessing when my father died early on in chemotherapy. They had taken out his colon and he didn't want to live like that. You're not thinking of the victims who are suffering. What YOU would prefer is not the point.
@@Empathy4Animals411 my sister had 2 y/o twin boys at the time, she was 31, I am certain she’d have preferred to remain alive. My mom flat out told me she didn’t want to die. So my preference aligns with the preference of my people.
@@maureen2777 The one who's suffering should always take precedence. Val Kilmer flat out said he was suffering, as did my father. As a Christian Scientist, Kilmer also is not afraid to die, as he believes in a joyous afterlife. Those suffering are the VICTIM in the situation, not those who might be left behind. People so afraid of death think you only live once. We're not put here to suffer but learn and move on.
His suffering is terrible, but I imagine it's even harder on him because of the public eye being on him and discecting his public image. That had to create tremendous personal turmoil for him. I hadn't followed him too closely,, I don't follow any celebrity really, but I did notice his disappearance in recent years. I can only wish him well and pray for the best for him and his children.
Like yourself, I don't follow any "celebs" or actors or anyone because I have my own life to live and don't drool over what other's HAVE ... This guy would have done ANYTHING to beat Tom Cruise to the top of Hollywood - and he would have made it if he hadn't been so BAD at core trying to stop others success instead of working on his OWN success - The Kilmer story is a sad one, but it's what he brought upon himself, nothing else. I wish him well in his fight for his healrh.
I'm afraid we all grow old and when it comes to looks, time is cruel. At least he hasn't gone under the cosmetic knife. I hope he overcomes his battle with cancer with complete remission
Val was the man when I was a kid.... I remember top guns iceman being such a hotshot dick and his Bruce Wayne was pretty slick .... not to mention Jim morrison
Sadly, there is no such thing as "complete remission" after you've had chemotherapy and radiation. It spreads the cancer cells and burns your insides. Even oncologists say they would never recommend chemo to a loved one, yet they do it to patients all the time. I can't believe not one single person he knew suggested Gershon or Chris Beats Cancer therapies to him that actually address the cause, change the lifestyle and heal instead of poison and burn.
He most certainly has had plastic surgery, as it's quite obvious. I feel bad about his laryngeal cancer...it's a tough one to go through, but he's alive!
Val has everything he could ever need. The love and support of his children who see him for who he is. That is priceless and the Greatest Award he could ever receive in life❣️
Thunder heart was a great movie but sad, because of what happened to the Native American Indians, we must remember, honer our Indian heritage. Thank you, Val Killer 🥰🥰🎬🎬📽️📽️
Loved Val Kilmer in “Real Genius” and in “Tombstone” … I also liked him in the “Doors” because he did most or all of his own singings and “The Saint” and “Willow”!!!! Prayers to Him! He has had a difficult Life filled with many obstacles!!!!
An artist who acts his paintings , who could become the portrait of creativity on the canvas . Thank you for your commitment and your legacy of fine acting and films. GOD bless you and yours!
I am a survivor of stage4 throat cancer treatment is indescribable. Thank God I’m alive and i can still talk however, 5 years out its still difficult to swallow and depending on the day i wont eat in public. Its really a humbling experience and will bring the most egotistical individual down to earth. 🙏
and I Love that. What a wonderful way to honor Jim…. “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. - Oscar Wilde.”
He was and is not a hero. It is sad that get got sick but he has CONSTANTLY campaigned and told people not to get medical treatment. That is disgusting.
I loved seeing him in Top Gun Maverick. I’m so glad they put him in the movie. They did it brilliantly. It’s sad what happened to him, but he’s still alive and can still give love to those close to him.
Val Kilmer has probably next to one of the greatest actors I have ever watched you left out his roll in Thunderheart which was an awesome movie as well he’s a great actor I’d like to see more before he decides to retire but he’s left a very impressive legacy in movies !
Thanks ! I was just trying to recall the title of the movie , and scrolling the Comments .... He was SO good-looking there ! I still have that video tape . I actually bought it off the video rental long ago ! 😅
I loved Val as Jim Morrison. That was before my time,but I love Jim and The Doors. Val played him so well. Will always be one of my favorite movies. Had no idea he was hard to work with. So sad what happened to him. Great video,Blessed Be.
my first introduction to Val was Willow as a kid. I thought he was such a cool warrior. Knowing that him an the princess of that actually got together an had kids pleases me very much cause you could see the chemistry they had.
Yes but don’t you think that blowing off a shot at a hamburger commercial because he didn’t believe in burgers is totally stupid not to mention a poor decision in his occupational progress. I’m sure there is one person out there great full to him for that.
2021 - 2023 still looking at Val & if he had asked someone who actually knew who he is not acting, Then he might of not been lonely , Jack & Mercedes 💕
Tbh after watching his documentary…how dare they!! It pisses me off how he was treated!! He is one of the greats and he should still be in movies ect. Is this how you guys do it in Hollywood? Just let your friends go down like that huh? Speaks volumes about who THEY are!
I see nothing tragic about Val Kilmer's life. We all have had tragic things happen in our lives, parents die, siblings eventually die, friends die. But this video makes it sound like Val Kilmer's life was one big tragedy after another. I respectfully disagree. As long as he's alive, it's still good for him.
Sadly there's not much quality of life after getting several rounds of chemotherapy in addition to radiation. He survived the poison and burning, but it's only in remission. I feel sorry for him that he didn't seek other treatment that heals by addressing the cause and changing the lifestyle, diet, toxicity etc.
I agree and the ‘feel sorry for me’ video was just squeezing the bucks out further and worked as planned because it added more fans who probably didn’t think he was all that good before. You are spot on with “ we all have tragic things happen in our lives” and many, many more people have a whole lot more. So all those bleeding hearts who struggle daily to make ends meet he’s got tons of money.
I'm glad that Val kilmer was able to defeat cancer but it did a number on him unfortunately it was such a downer seeing that Val was talking with a microphone in his throat just like jack klugman was doing in his final years, tombstone was one of the best westerns ever and Val kilmer was the best doc Holliday ever and thunderheart was a great movie and was a true story
Hands down Tombstone ! Best performance ever ! ICONIC ….it will live long after us all … Forever when reminded of Doc Holiday he always appears with Kilmer’s face …
I fell in love with Doc Holiday as a young girl 💕 I’m glad he’s doing better. Sometimes life makes you go through hard lessons so you can become the person you’re meant to be
That was Magical 😀🤣, as well as enlightening. Just recently A couple of My Friends have recovered from Throat Cancer, over the Past Four too Five years. Too talk about The Actor Val Killer, he has always been A Astronomically Talented Actor! Plus his Film or Stage presence is so in Measurable, being that He puts so Much of His Soul, Heart, & Himself, into all that He did throughout His Life & His Career. The portion You spoke of His Ex Wife, was very coincidental as I think 🤔 I'd heard that Happened? But yet I was never for certain. The film they did Together "WILLOW" is a favorite of Mine. His Ex-Wife exceptionally Gorgeous, & Very Talented as well. IT is very Tragic, what has come of this Man's Life. But it isn't over Yet? For even though He has had Illness, Troubles, Heartache, n Heartbreak. By the Sounds of His Actions n Kid's, plus His willingness to Forge A Head this Man is not Finished with Life. Thank You for sharing this with US. Wyoming, Robert, 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸👀👀👍👍🙏🙏🙏
I'm sure Val doesn't read anything in the media, or posts on UA-cam....but.... if he does happen to read this....Val, you are appreciated much more then you'll ever know. I can't speak on behalf of anyone else, but as a 55 year old man, your gift on the big screen is greatly appreciated by this fan. The Doors and Heat are 2 of my all-time favorite flicks....I wish you nothing but good health moving forward! God Bless and thank you for your contributions to the Arts.... through your performances, you helped many of us escape our own problems in life, if only for a few hours.
Val Kilmer is one of my favorite all-time actors and that really bugs me that that he had to quit acting because of his cancer. I think they oughta make some roles for actors who have got disabilities now. He will always be one of my favorites. If I was asked who I wanted meet it would be him
@@TS-wh4ey Oh the one about the lions? Oh my a true story & I just couldn't watch again because it scared the heck out of me plus knowing it was true!!
Its not that tragic. he had a full, rewarding life. His youth and beauty and talent are recorded for posterity. He'll die relatively fulfilled, and remembered for a time. Sounds alright to me.
He felt de-flated getting the Ice Man part.. Bet ya with the money Top Gun made he felt the inflated. Anyway glad he is a cancer surviour, thats some hard work there. Many of my family died cause of the 'C' word..Good luck Val with all😘

Val playing Jim Morrison of the Doors was a masterpiece .The Doors band members said he was indistinguishable from Jim and it was eerie .
Actors are. Paid to be Bipolar in first 🥇 place then end up conflicted and miserable.
I was literally just remembering this role this morn. As I was listening to the Doors. I love him in every role he has been in. Especially Doc. Holiday.

Val Kilmer looks pretty good for someone who went through one of the most brutal cancers..He's 62 so he is not going to age backwards (plastic surgery) like a lot of actors...Very sad he had to go through cancer without a partner but i'm sure his kids were there along side him..That's the cruel thing about Hollywood..They love you when you are on top but gain an inch of weight and they humiliate you..Val paid his dues and is one of the best actors to come out of Hollywood..Thank you for your contribution to the movie industry..Playing Jim Morrison was one of your best roles...♥️
He's only in remission, as he went through multiple rounds of chemotherapy which only make the cancerous cells spread, and radiation, which burns the inside of your throat. He's obviously so intelligent, yet he runs straight to toxic pharma for cancer treatment with no cures. It either kills you right away or comes back, leaving you permanently scarred.
Actually it was his children that convinced him to get the poison therapy, not knowing any better. I can't believe that no one he knew suggested non-toxic therapies like Gershon or Chris Beats Cancer that address the cause, change the lifestyle and don't make the cancer worse. What a shame.

It seem like Val made a large effort to have the relationship with his children that he always wanted. I consider him successful for that 💟
100%
Agreed
I totally agree with you
Whatever you say about Val Kilmer. I can say he never failed to entertain me. Pretty much every movie he made has been great....
Val Kilmer is a professional Artist, not an entertainer/ I think that he arduously endeavours to give his all b/c that is his vocation in life, same as Tom Cruise, Al Pacino, Robert Deniro, and unless they sell out for monetary gain, the cast and director are making films to teach, inspire, evangelize and educate/ Everything in life is theatre/ Entertainment is a moneymaking form of escapism/ Val Kilmer is very passionate about living in Love, Truth and Wisdom/
Not many comments for "The Ghost and the Darkness", which is one of my all-time favorites. Always have enjoyed Val's movies, and I'm sorry to hear about this throat cancer.
Yes...I couldn't remember the name. Thanks! I saw one of the train carriage in a museum on a visit to Kenya. Neat story with man eaters.......
‘The Salton Sea’ as well..
Oh yeah that was a good one as well.
100% 🎯! For the life of me, I fail to understand how the bloody dickens these yuppy snothead 'reporters' dare comment on anybody's weight!
Most of the blooming time they are young people with old people's bodies themselves! The man has been fighting cancer and you expect him to maintain his youthful appearance!!! Get a life you piece of crap! Go get cancer and see how you deal with it 😤Btw...I'm a senior with the shape and figure of a 17 year old because I chose a more holistic approach to my health issues...
So to all these modern day sensation seeking ' reporters' get a decent job and earn your income honestly! 💥
The SALTON Sea was intricate!
How cruel the things that the media said about him. How sad about the throat cancer.
The media seldom does anything good for our society. Back when they reported the actual news, fairly, balanced and with integrity, the media was a vital part of our society. Now, 97% of it is a cancer.
Hello, how’re you doing...?
He nailed Holiday. Every time I watch that movie, I see yet, another nuance, and believe me, I already know most of the dialogue. While everyone else were superb, it was his film. Sad for him that he had to go through his battle with cancer pretty much alone. To his critics: just enjoy his movies, you can't possibly know what demons he has encountered.
We just watched Tombstone last night and flr me he is the highlight of the entire movie.
Agreed
Yes he was amazing as Doc Holliday.......
Well said
Had a housesitting assignment and watched it again this weekend. Ii never tire of tat huckleberry
Val Kilmer is a Phenomenal actor, one of the best to do it. I hate that Hollywood and the headlines have disrespected him so much. I'll always be a fan of his.
Yeah it infuriates me how the media treated him
Bloody oath, Fantastic actor 👍🇦🇺🍻
Modern hollywood is garbage
With no hesitation, my favorite is Tombstone♥️. Very happy for you on overcoming your battle with cancer. So happy to see the support from your family.
Hello Patricia, how are you doing?
Actor in "top secret", the best comedy's movie I've ever seen!
This guy is not a tragedy, he's a leading light in showing this fickle population how to carry on in the face of adversity God Bless you Val... you are a guarding light in a darkening world🏴🔥
I loved him in Tombstone and the Doors. It sucks that he had cancer, and terrific that he beat it, everyone isn’t so lucky. As far as the media dragging him, that’s what the media does. 🤷🏻♀️
Unfortunately I don't call just being alive "beating" cancer. He has a permanent hole in his throat, can't ever use his voice again, and has said that the cancer treatment was the cause of his suffering, not the cancer. He also said his throat is permanently dry. I think it'd be a horrific way to live.
@@Empathy4Animals411 we’re going to have to agree to disagree. I’d much prefer to have a voiceless sister and mother than not having them at all.
@@maureen2777 It was a blessing when my father died early on in chemotherapy. They had taken out his colon and he didn't want to live like that. You're not thinking of the victims who are suffering. What YOU would prefer is not the point.
@@Empathy4Animals411 my sister had 2 y/o twin boys at the time, she was 31, I am certain she’d have preferred to remain alive. My mom flat out told me she didn’t want to die. So my preference aligns with the preference of my people.
@@maureen2777 The one who's suffering should always take precedence. Val Kilmer flat out said he was suffering, as did my father. As a Christian Scientist, Kilmer also is not afraid to die, as he believes in a joyous afterlife. Those suffering are the VICTIM in the situation, not those who might be left behind.
People so afraid of death think you only live once. We're not put here to suffer but learn and move on.
His suffering is terrible, but I imagine it's even harder on him because of the public eye being on him and discecting his public image. That had to create tremendous personal turmoil for him. I hadn't followed him too closely,, I don't follow any celebrity really, but I did notice his disappearance in recent years. I can only wish him well and pray for the best for him and his children.
I'll give you something to cry about you wussy.
Like yourself, I don't follow any "celebs" or actors or anyone because I have my own life to live and don't drool over what other's HAVE ...
This guy would have done ANYTHING to beat Tom Cruise to the top of Hollywood - and he would have made it if he hadn't been so BAD at core trying to stop others success instead of working on his OWN success - The Kilmer story is a sad one, but it's what he brought upon himself, nothing else.
I wish him well in his fight for his healrh.
@@team3383 Truth
Mike well put. I feel exactly the same.
"I'll be your huckleberry" is one of the most well delivered lines in my movie watching history
Why Johnny Ringo - you look like someone just walked over your grave.
Twirling the cup around on his finger like a gun. I crack up every time. So sarcastic lol
You're a daisy if you do.
One of the best, if not the best
Doc Holidays of all time
@@socasack LOL, now I have to watch again for the 100th time❤
I'm afraid we all grow old and when it comes to looks, time is cruel. At least he hasn't gone under the cosmetic knife. I hope he overcomes his battle with cancer with complete remission
Val was the man when I was a kid.... I remember top guns iceman being such a hotshot dick and his Bruce Wayne was pretty slick .... not to mention Jim morrison
The best way to grow old is to just except your gray hair and wrinkles and you will be wiser for it😘
He was true to himself
Sadly, there is no such thing as "complete remission" after you've had chemotherapy and radiation. It spreads the cancer cells and burns your insides. Even oncologists say they would never recommend chemo to a loved one, yet they do it to patients all the time. I can't believe not one single person he knew suggested Gershon or Chris Beats Cancer therapies to him that actually address the cause, change the lifestyle and heal instead of poison and burn.
He most certainly has had plastic surgery, as it's quite obvious. I feel bad about his laryngeal cancer...it's a tough one to go through, but he's alive!
He will always be my Iceman 🖤 In school back in the 80s I learned to flip a pen between my fingers just because I admired him so much :)
Jim Morrison in my opinion was his greatest, sorry to hear of all the suffering and anxiety he went through, hope he is on the mend
I thought he was incredible as Doc Holliday as well
Watch The Saint
Leave the man alone, hes a real genius
I see what you did there. Agreed!
That's so sweet, Val Kilmer's children helping their dad like that.
Val has everything he could ever need. The love and support of his children who see him for who he is.
That is priceless and the Greatest Award he could ever receive in life❣️

Thunder heart was a great movie but sad, because of what happened to the Native American Indians, we must remember, honer our Indian heritage. Thank you, Val Killer 🥰🥰🎬🎬📽️📽️
God bless him ! What struggles he's very brave. 👍🙏💞

Loved Val Kilmer in “Real Genius” and in “Tombstone” … I also liked him in the “Doors” because he did most or all of his own singings and “The Saint” and “Willow”!!!! Prayers to Him! He has had a difficult Life filled with many obstacles!!!!
I wish him well!
Thank You for making this thoughtful video.
An artist who acts his paintings , who could become the portrait of creativity on the canvas . Thank you for your commitment and your legacy of fine acting and films. GOD bless you and yours!
I am a survivor of stage4 throat cancer treatment is indescribable. Thank God I’m alive and i can still talk however, 5 years out its still difficult to swallow and depending on the day i wont eat in public. Its really a humbling experience and will bring the most egotistical individual down to earth. 🙏
That “see myself a sensitive human being but with a soul of a clown” is a Jim Morrison quote.
Sure is :)
Yep. 🤦
and I Love that. What a wonderful way to honor Jim…. “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. - Oscar Wilde.”
His Doc Holliday was badass
He was a genious. A legendary actor. He is a fighter. He is a hero.
Was? Still is.
Genius?
@@mahnazqaiser3371 genius as is brilliant actor I guess
He was and is not a hero. It is sad that get got sick but he has CONSTANTLY campaigned and told people not to get medical treatment. That is disgusting.
@@Djblois1 to not get treatment. Wow. Didn't know
I can't see Val Kilmer being difficult to work with. He is just a misunderstood soul people cannot understand.
I agree.
1:41 Really!!! Just ask the original Director and cast of "The Island of Dr. Moreau". Look up the documentary.
I loved seeing him in Top Gun Maverick. I’m so glad they put him in the movie. They did it brilliantly. It’s sad what happened to him, but he’s still alive and can still give love to those close to him.
He will always be a legend! 💙
Hold up there! You have to be one to be able to always be one. You can’t finish the race without starting.
One of the finest actors off all time.
I'm glad val is better . He's very handsome loved all his movies💕
"I feel the need..The need for speed!"What a great film!🇬🇧
The sequel is even better!
I am very sorry to have heard that Val Kilmer has had cancer of the throat. He is a good actor. I hope he makes a recovery.
Val Kilmer has probably next to one of the greatest actors I have ever watched you left out his roll in Thunderheart which was an awesome movie as well he’s a great actor I’d like to see more before he decides to retire but he’s left a very impressive legacy in movies !
*I have NOT had a GirL Friend for 7 5 years!!! & you know Wut?*
*I'm NOT LoneLy & I am One of God's PeoPLe!!!*
Thanks ! I was just trying to recall the title of the movie , and scrolling the Comments ....
He was SO good-looking there !
I still have that video tape . I actually bought it off the video rental long ago ! 😅
Kilmer superior in every way travolta inferior in every way hollywood scum
I loved Val as Jim Morrison. That was before my time,but I love Jim and The Doors. Val played him so well. Will always be one of my favorite movies. Had no idea he was hard to work with. So sad what happened to him. Great video,Blessed Be.
@James Hama I'm groovy,thank you. How are you?
my first introduction to Val was Willow as a kid. I thought he was such a cool warrior. Knowing that him an the princess of that actually got together an had kids pleases me very much cause you could see the chemistry they had.
Val Kilmer is a perfectionist. He believes in his acting and art, which Hollywood couldn’t handle!
Yes but don’t you think that blowing off a shot at a hamburger commercial because he didn’t believe in burgers is totally stupid not to mention a poor decision in his occupational progress. I’m sure there is one person out there great full to him for that.
i rate val as one of our best actors .he a fighter he still with us and i hope he gets better.
The documentary he made "Val" is a masterpiece!
I think he is Top Man. Seems like a very sincere and easy to be with. excellent actor as well ❤️
So sad he was so talented and handsome
He looks so much older than 62...not saying it in a mean way but really shows how much cancer sucked out of him....I hope all goes good for him
2021 - 2023 still looking at Val & if he had asked someone who actually knew who he is not acting, Then he might of not been lonely , Jack & Mercedes 💕
Loved him as Doc Holiday.
"Iv'e got two guns, One for each of you." an obscure line perhaps, but pure Val.
Me too. I believe Val's Doc is a universally loved character. That's why it's strange that this vid seemed to go out of its way to not mention it.
Val sounds like a great Dad! Dads and daughters rock the world. And I love my Dad forever💓💕
When you’re 55, you’re not going to look 20 ever again.
Doc John Holliday in Tombstone was my favorite movie of Val Kilmer.
Linda Lawson
Did y'all know that Val Kilmer has a book called "I'm Your Huckleberry"? 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🙄
it’s brilliant
One of my all time favorites. Thank you.
Tbh after watching his documentary…how dare they!! It pisses me off how he was treated!! He is one of the greats and he should still be in movies ect. Is this how you guys do it in Hollywood? Just let your friends go down like that huh? Speaks volumes about who THEY are!
I see nothing tragic about Val Kilmer's life. We all have had tragic things happen in our lives, parents die, siblings eventually die, friends die. But this video makes it sound like Val Kilmer's life was one big tragedy after another. I respectfully disagree. As long as he's alive, it's still good for him.
Sadly there's not much quality of life after getting several rounds of chemotherapy in addition to radiation. He survived the poison and burning, but it's only in remission. I feel sorry for him that he didn't seek other treatment that heals by addressing the cause and changing the lifestyle, diet, toxicity etc.
I agree and the ‘feel sorry for me’ video was just squeezing the bucks out further and worked as planned because it added more fans who probably didn’t think he was all that good before. You are spot on with “ we all have tragic things happen in our lives” and many, many more people have a whole lot more. So all those bleeding hearts who struggle daily to make ends meet he’s got tons of money.
I'm glad that Val kilmer was able to defeat cancer but it did a number on him unfortunately it was such a downer seeing that Val was talking with a microphone in his throat just like jack klugman was doing in his final years, tombstone was one of the best westerns ever and Val kilmer was the best doc Holliday ever and thunderheart was a great movie and was a true story
Yes! I almost forgot about that movie.
Not a microphone. That's a the voice he can manage now because of a trach in his throat.
Hands down Tombstone ! Best performance ever ! ICONIC ….it will live long after us all … Forever when reminded of Doc Holiday he always appears with Kilmer’s face …
I fell in love with Doc Holiday as a young girl 💕
I’m glad he’s doing better. Sometimes life makes you go through hard lessons so you can become the person you’re meant to be
God did heal you Val he also got you to good Dr's and he will restore your beautiful voice keep the faith
He into Christian Science which is a mind science cult he has no faith
I call BS. You can't grow back vocal cords.
That was Magical 😀🤣, as well as enlightening. Just recently A couple of My Friends have recovered from Throat Cancer, over the Past Four too Five years.
Too talk about The Actor Val Killer, he has always been A Astronomically Talented Actor! Plus his Film or Stage presence is so in Measurable, being that He puts so Much of His Soul, Heart, & Himself, into all that He did throughout His Life & His Career.
The portion You spoke of His Ex Wife, was very coincidental as I think 🤔 I'd heard that Happened? But yet I was never for certain. The film they did Together "WILLOW" is a favorite of Mine. His Ex-Wife exceptionally Gorgeous, & Very Talented as well.
IT is very Tragic, what has come of this Man's Life. But it isn't over Yet?
For even though He has had Illness, Troubles, Heartache, n Heartbreak.
By the Sounds of His Actions n Kid's, plus His willingness to Forge A Head this Man is not Finished with Life.
Thank You for sharing this with US.
Wyoming, Robert, 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸👀👀👍👍🙏🙏🙏
I'm sure Val doesn't read anything in the media, or posts on UA-cam....but.... if he does happen to read this....Val, you are appreciated much more then you'll ever know. I can't speak on behalf of anyone else, but as a 55 year old man, your gift on the big screen is greatly appreciated by this fan. The Doors and Heat are 2 of my all-time favorite flicks....I wish you nothing but good health moving forward! God Bless and thank you for your contributions to the Arts.... through your performances, you helped many of us escape our own problems in life, if only for a few hours.
Val Kilmer is one of my favorite all-time actors and that really bugs me that that he had to quit acting because of his cancer. I think they oughta make some roles for actors who have got disabilities now. He will always be one of my favorites. If I was asked who I wanted meet it would be him
Val always will be the Man
His role as Doc in Tombstone was his best work in my opinion
Loved him in Tombstone. His Southern accent and one liners were perfect .
Love Val Kilmer. So many great movies. I watch Tombstone often for one reason, Val acting as Holiday. Cult following level.
His life has been so tragic
The greatest actor of all time, , Thunder heart. And Jimbo
He was great along side Michael Douglas in the movie
Ghost and the Darkness
Alot of folks not familiar with that one.
@@TS-wh4ey Oh the one about the lions? Oh my a true story & I just couldn't watch again because it scared the heck out of me plus knowing it was true!!
I've start being a fan of Val Kilmer when he played the role of Moses in "The Prince of Egypt"(1998).♥️♥️
He’s a great actor!
He was great in the “Doors”!😊
I'm so glad Tom honored Val in Top Gun a little teary
His movies were all good and i still enjoy watching them. He is extremly talented .
I'm just glad he got to be in the new top gun movie !
One of MY FAVORITE actors
Hollywood is such a sick, pitiless place.
Wow. I had no idea. Amazing story
Absolutely one of the very best actors in my life time....
LOVE VAL " THE SAINT "😘
Its not that tragic. he had a full, rewarding life. His youth and beauty and talent are recorded for posterity. He'll die relatively fulfilled, and remembered for a time. Sounds alright to me.
Thank you for existing and to have delighted us with your acting be blessed
Head and neck cancer is a bitch! It affects you in such a public yet personal way. ❤
So sorry about his cancer. Prayers 🙏❣️ I hope it's gone.
His voice was the BIG deal???? OMG. IT IS HIS #1. His talent.
People can be cruel. We are not all the same,and a few amazing souls are truly unique.
He felt de-flated getting the Ice Man part..
Bet ya with the money Top Gun made he felt the inflated.
Anyway glad he is a cancer surviour, thats some hard work there.
Many of my family died cause of the 'C' word..Good luck Val with all😘
Bought a 6000 acre ranch with that deflation 😂
