How netizens are reacting
One user wrote- “His performance in Heat will undoubtedly stand the test of time. For all the outstanding roles Kilmer delivered, this is Kilmer at his best- holding his own with De Niro. We just lost a legend.”
Another said, “Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone was Oscar-worthy. Kilmer fully-committed in every way, down to his weight loss. I can’t picture anyone else as Doc Holliday.”
A long comment about his contribution to Hollywood read- ““Val Kilmer, who passed away at 65, was a versatile actor known for iconic roles like Jim Morrison in “The Doors” (1991), Batman in “Batman Forever” (1995), and “Iceman” Kazansky in “Top Gun” (1986) and its 2022 sequel, with a career spanning comedy, action, and drama.”
He added, “Kilmer’s death on April 1, 2025, was due to pneumonia, following a battle with throat cancer diagnosed in 2014, which required chemotherapy, tracheotomies, and impacted his ability to speak, as detailed in his 2020 memoir “I’m Your Huckleberry.”
