How did “Batman” Val Kilmer disappear over the years?

From the 1980s to the 1990s, Hollywood actor Val Kilmer was a smash hit. He not only starred in blockbusters such as “Top Gun”, “Batman Forever” and “Heat”, but also received acting recognition through “The Doors”.

Val Kilmer gradually faded out after the 2010s, and has not even appeared in public view in recent years. What happened to him?

The documentary “Val” that will premiere in Cannes this year will reveal some of it.

It turned out that Val Kilmer suffered from laryngeal cancer around 2016. After 4 years of treatment, his condition is now under control. However, due to the operation, he can no longer speak or even eat through his throat.

In order not to disturb everyone, the entire treatment is basically in a confidential stage.

Val Kilmer can be described as young and promising. At the age of 17, he entered the Juilliard School of Drama as the youngest enrollee at the time. He once won an award for his performance in Shakespeare’s famous play “Hamlet”.

In 1986, Val Kilmer gradually emerged in the film industry due to his performance in the movie “Top Gun”.

Representative works include “Batman Forever”, “The Saint”, “The Doors”, “Heat” and other films.

In 2000, Val Kilmer became unlucky because of the poor box office of “Red Planet”. After that, he could only play some supporting roles and his body began to lose shape.

But even worse, cancer seems to make Val Kilmer bid farewell to acting career completely.

The material for this documentary is very interesting, most of which were taken by Val Kilmer himself with a video camera when he was young.

The narration of the film comes from other people. Val Kilmer can only speak some simple words because he can’t speak.

No matter how difficult life is, Val Kilmer still lives bravely!
