Both of these guys were diagnosed with oral cancer later in their careers


Any chance that Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer's oral cancer was in any way connected to the production of this movie or was it just a coincidence that both actors starred in the same movie and then later became diagnosed with cancer? Thankfully, both of these guys are cancer survivors. Cancer sucks. Thoughts?

From what I heard Michael Douglas's throat cancer was the result of going down on the wrong woman, maybe they went down on the same woman.

It's possible they both became infected with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) while performing oral sex on the same woman during the making of this movie and then many years later it caused cancer.

The movie was about man-eating lions. How ironic that two men making a movie about man-eating pussies were victims of a cancer occurring among pussy-eating men.
