Way too soon.

RIP Val Kilmer: Celebrating cult classic Real Genius is now a moral imperative

The ’80s comedy has stood the test of time, even inspiring a 2009 Mythbusters episode.

Val Kilmer passes. Glad he got to be in Top Gun 2 given his health, even if it was limited. RIP Val. So many great, fun films. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/val-kilmer-death-reaction-tributes-1236178981/

While a fan of his performances, he apparently was quite an asshole within the industry/coworkers. RIP in any case.

Enjoyed his work. “The Saint” doesn’t get enough love. “Top Secret,” “Real Genius,” “Heat,” “Tombstone” and of course “Top Gun” are great. Watched “Top Gun:Maverick” again this evening. Damn, amazing Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos presentation on 4K Blu-ray. RIP Iceman.

I think if you asked people around them about most big stars, they are probably 99% assholes.

Does seem to be a good probability. Many have good reputations, tho. Val's being "difficult" was kinda famous.

If you watch interviews with him and in certain roles, it kind of looks like it. It is that attitude that gives them those giant personalities that make them able to bring to life all those great characters.

Wow, this is very sad to hear ...... I think he did unforgettable roles in Top Gun and in Top Gun Maverick, wow cool
And portraying Jim Morrison, unbelievable
I gotta watch both Top Gun´s again !

Way too early at age of 65
RIP Mr. Kilmer
