snoop1130 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Val Kilmer reveals he didn’t want to be in ‘Top Gun’ but begged to be in reboot By Will Lavin Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise on the set of 'Top Gun'. CREDIT: Paramount Pictures/Sunset Boulevard) Val Kilmer has revealed that he didn’t initially want to appear in the first Top Gun movie but begged to be in the upcoming reboot. The actor played Tom “Iceman” Kazansky in the 1986 movie alongside Tom Cruise, but in his new memoir, I’m Your Huckleberry, he admits: “I didn’t want the part. I didn’t care about the film. The story didn’t interest me. “My agent, who also represented Tom Cruise, basically tortured me into at least meeting Tony Scott saying he was one of the hottest directors in town.” Kilmer said he even tried to self-sabotage the audition, by “looking like a fool or the goon.” Full Story: https://www.nme.com/news/film/val-kilmer-reveals-he-didnt-want-to-be-in-top-gun-but-begged-to-appear-in-reboot-2652726 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really true. His screen debut in Top Secret! in 1984 had already made him a quite big star. Still a pretty funny movie (unless you're German). 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 He was supposedly one of the most difficult actors to work with, had a huge ego. I believe he can barely speak now due to a case of throat cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropposurfer Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I’m trying to work out the character and storyline for Val in the remake. He ain’t in the good condition Toms in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
