Val Kilmer’s common stars jokes, parties and acting ‘Art’

Val Kilmer is joking in the trailer on the upper floor set, he pretends to be like doing as if he was doing the demands like he was barking in a package like a phone, and talks with his studio boss.

“More sex! More drugs! More wine! More tobacco! More headaches! More ulcers! More herpes! More women! More women! And less Tom Cruise!”

The common stars Rick Rossovich and Barry Tubb took a break without playing the distinguished fighter pilots of the film, cracking with laughter.

Rossovich, Cruise’s common shift on the screen, apparently wants “more”. Wearing shadows, but no shirts, before jumping from the caravan into sunlight and dancing, he pretends to throw a chair on Kilmer’s head.

Kilmer took the video camera everywhere to film behind the scenes, and in 1985 he chose these instant images of uncertain Tomfoolery as the opening shots of his life on his life.

Tubb playing Wolfman, “I have seen the first video camera I have seen so far,” he remembers. “They were more tired of telling him to close the upper pistol set and they finally left.

“We had a fun time with him because we tried to catch everyone in the toilet with the video camera. This is our wandering around. So there is a video in everyone who is open in the toilet. We were in Goofball.”

He adds: “Cruise was never stuck with us. It was all of us except Cruise. It was a method that moved alone, and we were all in this Beach Hotel, we were driving a motorcycle below the corridors and things.”

And Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson said, “Unlike some producers, they threw parties every night,” he says. “And so it was definitely in the air.”

TUBB is one of many former common stars who love Kilmer’s acting and antiques with love. 65 years old death.

“He was the coolest cat I’ve ever met,” says Tubb BBC News. “It was not just the big acting pyrzolas, but as funny as Hell.”

Top Gun was a breakthrough for Kilmer, who played Cruise’s Hotshot Maverick’s rival, Cruise’s Hotshot Maverick’s rival at the Chief Fighter Pilots Academy of the US Navy.

On the screen, it was a serious job to save the United States from Soviet Mig Jets. Shooting, things were less serious in the out -of -screen, California and Nevada.

“As Sean Penn said once said, working in Hollywood is like being with money in high school.” Says.

“I was 22 years old and I was younger than the group.

“If one of us wanted to go to Mexico, we all had an agreement because we had to go and had Val’s high school minibus, so we will all go to Val’s minibus and go to Mexico for dinner.

“We were young and bulletproof.”

When TUBB watched a video of classroom Dogfights, he whispered one of the famous lines of the film: “This gives me hard.”

This appeared after playing a practical joke by changing the real cassette in the academy VHS player for a pornographic video.

“[Director] Tony Scott heard that I was saying it and said, ‘Keep it inside’. We were doing such things. We were cutting and always having fun. “

Kilmer didn’t really want to appear in the film, he said he was stupid because of the script and did not like the warmth.

In order to postpone the producers, he wrote on his autobiography, “Nausea Green Large Gonky Australian shorts”.

“I read the lines in an indifferent way. And still, I was surprisingly told that I took a role in me.”

The scenario said Iceman’s character contains “very few” substances.

“That’s why I tried to realize it. I manifested a background for him that he had a father who ignored him and as a result of the need to be perfect in every way.

Authority, “Tom’s character and mine between mine and the out -of -screen competition” he added.

“In the end, the actors are divided into two separate camps in real method style.

“Maverick and Goose on one side and slide on the other, Hollywood, Wolfman and Me, Iceman.

“It was fun to play the conflict between our characters, but in fact I always thought of Tom as a friend and we always supported each other.”

When a sequel was filmed in 2018 and 2019, Kilmer suffered from throat cancer. There was a tracheotomy operation that influenced his voice and made it difficult to speak.

But Cruise was the person who insisted on Iceman’s return. The couple shared a extremely emotional scene, and now the character of Kilmer, who is now an admiral, wrote a part of the conversation on the screen before sharing a hug.

“Cruise could not be cooler,” Kilmer said. “Tom and I started where we stayed. I felt great reunification.”

Most of the actors remained friends after the original film, Tubb and Rossovich’s house in Hollywood Hills “Top Gun Club House”.

“I remember going to Rick’s house, and they were depicting Rick’s kitchen and he went on the refrigerator and made a 20 -minute hamlet. He never missed a word.”

Kilmer was a “actor actor” that lifted the bar for the rest of the cast.

“There was an art level that exceeded the norm of Hollywood.

“Well, it was a cool cat. Also, he could support.

“The ability to get lost to the characters was incredible. The same as Iceman.”

“Well, it was loved among the peers. It was completely loaded.”

Love for Kilmer shone in the tribute of his actors.

Kelly McGillis, who played Charlie’s love interest in Cruise and took part in Kilmer in 1999, told the BBC in a statement: “I need some time to process what Val means here.

“It was a mysterious being scattered here and there. A power of depth and weight will take some time.

“There is a lot of emotions right now.

“The first one is grateful.”

The 2004 Slasher film, Mindhunters, said that the news of his death came as a “real shock”.

He remembers how the star relaxed him and made him laugh with a “bad humor understanding” when he was a tense actor in his first production.

“I really entered with a kind of fear because I’ve heard all kinds of rumors about possible bad behaviors on the set, and at the same time this legend of acting.

“But well really sweet, fun, generous, but really, it was really unpredictable!”

The memories of the first big scene will be connected to Kilmer forever.

“I have a very clear memory of the first scene in a helicopter and we fly together [director] Renny Harlin, ‘Why don’t we shoot?’

“Take a drawing from one to half from one to half, completely without script – somehow making a drawing and just doing randomly munch.

“He goes back to me, ‘Hey, is everyone having fun?’

“He just blows my mind.”

Kemp, also known for his depiction of swan on Lake Swan of Matthew Bourne, was sometimes “crazy”, while Kilmer’s acting methods were sometimes “crazy”.

“He created a very iconic character and was a real mysterious film star.”
