Where Is ‘Top Gun’ and ‘Batman’ Star Val Kilmer Now?

If you’re wondering what Val Kilmer is doing these days, you’re not alone. In the ’80s and ’90s, Kilmer owned the silver screen, from his breakout role as Iceman in 1986’s Top Gun, to his turns as Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s 1991 film The Doors, Doc Holliday in 1993’s Tombstone, Batman in 1995’s Batman Forever, or a thief in 1995’s Heat. Roger Ebert referred to him as “the most unsung leading man of his generation.”

A 2015 throat cancer diagnosis severely impacted Kilmer’s life; a lifelong Christian Scientist, he was reluctant to treat it through conventional medicine, but was eventually convinced by his children to undergo chemotherapy and a tracheotomy.
