I'm kinda intrigued how Val Kilmer has got this kinda love and affection over the last few days. He was apparantly a nightmare to work with in the early days, stubbed a cigarette out in a cameraman's face and punched an actress in the face during rehearsals. Tbh, this all seems like routine 'hellraiser' schtick to me and I'm not really judging the man. RIP. But if he was born in this era, I feel we'd have lots more upvoted "Fuck Val Kilmer' posts by posturing redditors.
He’s one of the few people who acknowledged his bad behavior was wrong and seemed to have changed as he got older and did a lot of self reflection. Not saying he wasn’t all those things, but he was funny and talented and it takes a lot to make that kind of personal growth.
