Val Kilmer’s Death: When Top Gun Star’s Daughter Gushed About Sharing Screen With Her Dad Amid His Untimely Demise

by

Actor Val Kilmer, famous for roles like Top Gun and Batman Forever, passed away at age 65 after a struggle with pneumonia. In an interview on Good Morning America, Kilmer’s daughter Mercedes spoke about working alongside her father in the 2020 film Paydirt – their first joint project together on screen.

During an interview with the media outlet, the actress shared her enthusiasm about being involved in the movie, as it featured her father playing her on-screen father. Mercedes expressed, “It felt incredibly surreal and fitting to play his daughter.

She continued, “I am genuinely thrilled to have been part of this movie and to have contributed to it, not just because my father is my real dad, but also because, although it might seem secondary, I too have a speaking impairment. It was particularly significant for me to participate in a film that features a performer with a disability.

Instead of letting the comparisons to her father’s work influence her, Mercedes stated that she first became aware of such criticisms when others mentioned it to her directly.

In the film, Kilmer took on the role of Sheriff Tucker, while his daughter played the part of Jamie.

In my perspective as a lifestyle connoisseur, the narrative of this captivating cinematic journey centers around a character named Damien Brooks. His mission? To recover a stash of gold that had been pilfered five years prior. However, the tale takes an unexpected twist when the sheriff senses something amiss, setting the stage for a rollercoaster of suspense and intrigue.

Following Val Kilmer’s death, tributes have poured in from the industry.
