Michael Douglas Says Val Kilmer Has Cancer

Posted on

It’s been speculated for awhile now that Val Kilmer may have cancer, though he has denied it.

According to ET who confirmed The Sun’s report, Michael Douglas detailed Val Kilmer’s cancer during a Q&A with Jonathan Ross at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London.

Douglas says Kilmer had been diagnosed with tongue cancer in 2010. This is the same cancer Douglas had himself, but he has been cancer-free since January of 2011.

“Val was a wonderful guy who is dealing with exactly what I had, and things don’t look too good for him,” he said of Kimer. “My prayers are with him. That’s why you haven’t heard too much from Val lately.”

Last October Kilmer had denied claims that he was admitted into an intensive care unit. He wrote on his Facebook page, “There’s a rumor that I’m unwell again and in hospital which is untrue. I was in to verify I have no tumor or infection of any kind which was verified by the very caring experts at UCLA.”
