Val Kilmer has died

[IntermittentFarting]

Great actor, amazing as Jim Morrison.
Only 65!

RIP

He was quite ill for a while I think. He was very handsome when he was younger.

Rest in peace Iceman.

oh that is sad. he was brilliant as Jim Morrison.

65 is so young. He had cancer and was in rough shape for a long time. Sad. RIP.

Not unexpected considering his health struggles, but very sad all the same. I thought he was brave to take part in the second Top Gun movie. RIP Val Kilmer.

That’s so sad. My favourite Val Kilmer movie was Willow. He was my teenage crush.

Go raibh síocháin siorraí ort.

Very sad news. RIP Val.

Top Gun! Sad news, he was a talented actor and stunning looking as a young man. I believe he had throat cancer, he’d been a smoker, and had been very unwell for a decade.

Sad news. I heard on the news that it was pneumonia that he died from in the end.

Ice Man ❤️

By a coincidence, I was thinking about Val Kilmer this morning when I got up. I woke up (for no reason at all) with the 'Hold me, Thrill me' theme from 'Batman Forever' going through my head and this led to a brief train of thought where I was remembering who played Batman in that film, and who the adversaries and love interest were. My thoughts moved on, and then I had my customary look at the BBC News website when I'd got my cup of tea and saw that Val Kilmer had died. Very sad news and a weird coincidence.

He didn't even want to be in Top Gun and it turned out to be his most successful film. He was so good looking.

Yes he was gorgeous when he was married to Joanne Whalley they were such a good looking couple

So sad. I was besotted with him in my teens and I've watched Top Gun so many times with my son. Rest easy, Iceman.

Absolutely fucking hilarious in Top Secret! Hired it so many times...

Perfect handsome arrogant flyboy in Top Gun.

He WAS Jim Morrison.

Left some good entertainment behind.

He was great - I remember Kiss Kiss Bang Bang fondly but his absolute career best was as Doc Holliday in Tombstone.

Poor man, he’d been so ill for some time.

Sad news 😥 brilliant actor and gorgeous too. Rest in peace Ice

Ah he didn't treat her well though, he had affairs and at the time there were rumours of abuse, and he failed to keep up with his maintenance. Not usually a popular stance on mumsnet.

I loved him in Top Secret!

Now I can't stop singing How Silly Can You Get.

This is sad.
I liked him very much in Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and Heat.

very sad news

Just found this out, sad news..Tombstone was also one of my favourite films..

Huckleberry! Great acting.
Note to self to find some of these others being mentioned.

He spent months perfecting his Jim Morrison act and voice, even before he was cast. Did all the singing himself, and was almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Amazing performance.
