American actor Val Kilmer admitted that he has been fighting for a long time with throat cancer, and that he has practically managed to be cured.

He told about it during the session of questions and answers to Reddit.

One of the first about Kilmer's disease reported in 2016 was the actor Michael Douglas. Then the artist denied this information, but network users wanted to know about his health more. During the responses to one of the questions, Kilmer confirmed their suspicions.

"Obviously, he wanted to help me then, because the media were trying to figure out where I disappeared. I fought against cancer, "- admitted the actor.

Kilmer also added that it was difficult for him to talk and communicate with journalists.

"Despite the treatment, my tongue was swollen. Then I did not sound like usual, and even now people might think that I'm not healthy, "he said..

Recall, the first rumors about the actor's illness appeared in 2015, when he was hospitalized with a swelling of the throat. He said that there were only complications after the cold. In 2016, Michael Douglas said that Kilmer is fighting with throat cancer and "not going through the best time".

Note that Val Kilmer starred in more than 80 films, including the role of Jim Morrison in the film "Dorz" Oliver Stone, and Batman in Joel Schumacher's film "Batman Forever".
