🎬 Val Kilmer, star of ‘Top Gun’ and ‘Batman’, dies at 65
Hollywood actor Val Kilmer has died at the age of 65 from pneumonia in Los Angeles, his daughter Mercedes confirmed. He had battled throat cancer since 2014, which led to a tracheotomy that affected his voice and limited his acting work.
Despite health struggles, Kilmer made a powerful return in 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, reprising his iconic role as Iceman alongside Tom Cruise.
“You were a smart, challenging, brave, uber-creative firecracker,” actor Josh Brolin wrote. “There’s not a lot left of those.”
