should have been successful and a star for 40 more years than he was


he should have had the career of robert de niro. he certainly was in the same acting league as him. what happened to him or rather why did hollywood blacklist him from being a star ever again? i think it's that he was too difficult to work with like edward norton.

He got fat really quick. Hollywood won’t cast a porka.

He's really skinny now, not anemic skinny that is. I hear he got throat cancer or something. He totally doesn't look the way he's suppose to be. Imagine him looking still like Tom Cruise and still doing movies. Would've been nice to see. Sadly this isn't the reality that is shown.

I'm sad to say that, despite the heroic, fun, and noble characters he was known for; behind the scenes Val Kilmer was an asshole, and word got around Hollywood about how difficult he was to work with. You can look it up. There's information all over the web about what he was like as a person.
