Deathray 2,940 Posted November 2, 2016 Something doesn't quite add up about this: Kilmer described Douglas as "a loving and devoted friend", adding: "I'm sure he meant no harm." The last time I spoke to [Douglas] was almost two years ago, when I asked him for a referral for a specialist to get a diagnosis for a lump in my throat," wrote the 56-year-old. Close friends indeed!

So, a swollen tongue, but no cancer? What is it, then? Just a "nasty pharyngitis spreading to the tongue?" (Now, pharyngotonsillitis does exist, but it would have been resolved in a few weeks max, instead of, dunno, years?) Seems like poor old Val is going down the Roger Ebert route, instead of being lucky, like his beloved friend, Michael Douglas. At this point, his denial is rather unconvincing, and I would be surprised if he didn't make an appearance on next year's list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted November 12, 2016 Do you think Val Kilmer is a lot like Sydney Pollack and Hugo Chavez, where the ill health was rumored and they died from said rumors of illness? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GossipGabe 333 Posted November 12, 2016 Do you think Val Kilmer is a lot like Sydney Pollack and Hugo Chavez, where the ill health was rumored and they died from said rumors of illness? Yes i think Sydney Pollack was my first ever DDP hit. Hugo Chavez was actually a known cancer case that had been confirmed by the guy himself almost two years before he died. Unlike Val Kilmer, he didn't lie about the nature of the disease itself, he just claimed to have been cured (when he was not) in order to boost his reelection chances. (Just to travel to Cuba for treatment almost immediately after he was reelected.) Val's case can be more similar to that of Roger Ebert and Michael Douglas in that all three had severe head and neck cancers. Ebert has lost his chin and his voice during the years they were trying to cure him, but could still linger on for quite a long time. Or you could perhaps cite Steve Jobs, who did initially admit that he had cancer before his Whipple procedure, but was reluctant to provide info on his health when he relapsed.
