Val Kilmer Now
Kilmer’s problems started with his weight, which fluctuated over the years and became very noticeable to his fans. But what they didn’t know was that he was dealing with a serious illness which caused him to retreat from the public eye. He was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2015 and underwent several bouts of chemotherapy before making his return to the big screen in “Top Gun: Maverick” in 2022. His health struggles were also chronicled in the 2021 documentary “Val.”
