At the age of 65, Val Kilmer passed away following a bout with pneumonia. In remembering the esteemed actor’s life, let us recall an instance where he refuted Michael Douglas‘ claims about fighting throat cancer.
In the 1996 film “The Ghost and the Darkness,” the actor who passed away recently, along with Michael Douglas, appeared together. Approximately ten years after their collaboration, the actress from “Basic Instinct” shared with media outlets that Kilmer had been unwell and was eventually diagnosed with a disease.
In 2016, the actor known for Batman Forever refuted the allegations, explaining that he had merely reached out to his co-star to obtain a recommendation for a medical specialist regarding a lump in his neck.
In a nostalgic Facebook post he shared, the deceased actor clarified his stance by saying, “I have great admiration for Michael Douglas, but he seems to be mistaken.” He also explained that their last conversation was approximately two years ago when he requested Douglas’ help in finding a specialist to diagnose a lump in his throat.
Despite initially denying the allegations, it turned out that the actor had been dealing with a swollen tongue. This issue required rehabilitation, but he was making progress. Additionally, in his Instagram post, Kilmer confirmed that he had sought help from a team at UCLA and clarified that he no longer has cancer.
2017 saw the beloved actor publicly disclose to People Magazine that he was recuperating from throat cancer. Furthermore, it was revealed in 2021 by the media outlet that he had experienced a tracheostomy which resulted in lasting damage to his vocal cords.
On his website, the Top Gun actor shared an update with his followers regarding his health. He penned, “My condition is getting better day by day, but I’m unable to engage as much in the world as I was used to before.
After overcoming cancer, the actor continued his career by participating in numerous productions and also returning to play the character Tom Kazansky in Top Gun: Maverick.
