New fears for Val Kilmer’s health

There are renewed fears about the health of actor Val Kilmer after he pulled out of several events last minute with vague excuses.

The 57-year-old former Batman star missed two appeared in Florida in July citing “family stuff” and even missed his own art exhibit opening in Los Angeles.

The Top Gun actor was also supposed to attend a film screening of his one-man show Citizen Twain on July 11 but on July 10 he tweeted that the show had to be put off.

“Sorry to have to postpone the Florida shows until Dec. unavoidable family stuff that requires me in person. Thanks for being so supportive”, he wrote.

The concerns over Kilmer’s come after recent photos posted to his Instagram account show a gaunt-looking man.

Kilmer recently revealed on Reddit in April that he had cancer after he denied it for over a year.

A fan asked Kilmer: “A while ago, Michael Douglas claimed you had terminal cancer. What was the story behind that?”

Kilmer responded: “He was probably trying to help me cause press probably asked where I was these days, and I did have a healing of cancer, but my tongue is still swollen altho healing all the time [sic].

“Because I don't sound my normal self yet people think I may still be under the weather.”

Kilmer is a Christian Scientist, a denomination that believes sickness is a “mental error” and can be healed through prayer.
