Val Kilmer: From Iceman To Ice Cream Man
Adam Best | Mar 18, 2010 | 43 comments
Val Kilmer recently appeared at the SXSW premiere of MacGruber, and let’s just say he’s let himself go. I know most actors want to follow in Marlon Brando’s footsteps, but this is going a bit overboard. It almost looks like he’s wearing a fat suit with prosthetic makeup. Dude has gone from starring in The Doors to not be able to fit through them. I’m guessing he won’t be doing a shirtless volleyball scene if he hooks up with Tom Cruise for a Top Gun sequel. Anyway, enough jokes, check out Voluptuous Val…
With all the eating disorders in hollywood, it’s possible young skinny Val found a bulimia treatment resource that was a little too effective.
congratulations on trying to make fun of someone that acompplished more in life than you will ever come close to.
fat jokes, rly? how lame.
Playing! Playing with the boys… takes on a whole new meaning
He has New Mexican tortillas and sopapillas with honey to thank for that action! hehe
Your still my boy blue
He has definately let himself go, but who cares? I’m sure he can still get women as he is rich and famous!
And he’s been amazing in all the ‘fat’ roles he’s played. I really don’t understand why people don’t shut up about this.
Twenty-four years later, Val doesn’t look as good as he used to, so you make fun of him.
On the other hand, Tom Cruise does (almost), and you make fun of him, too, saying ‘He looks so good, he must be gay.’
So, I guess on this website, you’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.
So all I have to do to write articles on a website is to point out their most obvious “flaws”, no matter how childish they may be, ignore their accomplishments, and wait for all the other morons surfing the internets to agree and praise me instead?? Awesome!

I’ve always said.. When the Black Jokes, Polish Jokes, and Mexican Jokes become too taboo, they’ll turn to fat people.
It’s not OK to poke fun at someone for being a certain race (ie. looking a certain way) but it’s OK to poke fun at someone that is overweight (ie. looking a certain way.)
Yeah who would think someone’s body would change in 24 years?
Looks a bit like Hurley from Lost…(or maybe not, all fat people look the same to me)
I don’t get why people get uptight about making fun of someone? If fat is a joke taboo what left.
I would love to see him in a Willow Sequel now though, maybe not as Mad Mardigan but a fat brownie sidekick to Kevin Pollak.
This sophomoric attempt to Flambé a very accomplished actor leaves me with the urge to defecate. Not only do you need to learn to spell Adam, you need to learn about this little thing called substance and included it in your future attempts at witting.
I’m reminded of the immortal words of the ever so wise philosopher Dwight Stifler when he said, “What a douchebag!”

As ‘well’ said above…what a lame article. Making fun of so,meones weight, real schoolkid stuff.
I couldn’t agree more with my fellow commenter’s. Val Kilmer has gained weight in the 24 years since he made Top Gun? Wow, big surprise.
Buried
On the plus side, that’s a lovely turquoise and silver medallion or bolo tie.
That’s what happens when you don’t get anymore big roles to keep in shape for! lol
Using internet jargon like rly to support a bad come-back. Really? Come on.

Cut Kilmer some slack. He isn’t required to answer to any of us. He can grow to whatever size he wants to. Before you judge others, take the speck out of your own eye. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
HOLY CRAP that guy is FAT!!!
Looks like he became a World of Warcraft nerd!!
You should publish this page again with a picture of you at 26 and 50 years old. Lame post.
Most people look like dung when they’re 50+ years old. That’s why models are usually under 30. We’ll be saying u look like dung too when you’re 50. What comes around goes around. Val is the way he is today because he stop giving a sheeeet about what you think.
he’s fat and you’re stupid.
he can lose weight.
‘Dude has gone from starring in The Doors to not be able to fit through them.’
lmao.

“It’s not OK to poke fun at someone for being a certain race (ie. looking a certain way) but it’s OK to poke fun at someone that is overweight (ie. looking a certain way.)”
Making fun of people based on race is usually based on negative stereotypes and something you can control.. like the color of your skin. You can control whether you eat too much. The same way that you can tell smokers to stop smoking, you should be able to tell fat people to stop eating. If that means calling them out on it, so be it.
It’s amazing how he went through this transformation in such a short period. I mean the movie with 50cent wasn’t that long ago…
“He’ll be OK. He’s fat.”

Let Val Kilmer do what he wants. He’s made his millions, banged his fair share of hot chicks, and he was even Batman. Now he’s just gonna chow down and eat EVERYTHING. Rock on, Iceman, you rule!
Yeah lets see what YOU like like in 24 years…..go fuck yourself!
I’m surprised no one has mentioned another possibility, that he is gaining the weight for a role.
I honestly don’t know over what period of time he put on all the weight, but if it was fairly quickly, then that is a possibility.
I also have no clue if he is actually doing this, or would purposefully put on that much weight, but think back to what Jared Leto did for the movie about Lennon’s killer:

@well-
“Accomplished”? You’re kidding me. Are you twelve years old?
to everyone offended by “fat” jokes and making fun of “fat” people: jokes about fat people are funny. ethnic and racial jokes are funny. jokes about christians are funny. jokes about handy-cap and retarded people are funny too. If you are part of a group, other groups are going to make jokes about your group and they will be funny. get over it. hahahahaha. If you are fat, people make fun of you all the time, that is why you are all butt hurt about it. You can’t change the world and human nature, but you can change yourself.
Gaining weight for a role?? Ha! That would have to be a filck about five years in the making. And last time I checked… And the jokes are funny. But who gives a fuck. He’s a good actor. Im watching double identity right now. He’s got a new one coming out with Nick Cage and another with 50 cent. My guess, if he gets a few more headlining flicks soon, he’ll be back to a thirty four as quick as he got to a fourth four. Keep it up, Val!
Top gun my favorite movie
That’s what happens when you get old. He still gets more p00n then anyone here.
Whoa! Whats up with that dude.

Grow up! Look at yourself in 20 years! !
@ Andrew: Yes “Accomplished”, I’d say co-starring in three of the top twenty highest grossing films in history, and starring in three other films with world wide cult followings would be considered Accomplished.
MacGruber sucked though… just saying.
Attacking someone’s race, religion, weight, age, etc. is the lowest form of humor. People who have minimal intelligence think these jokes are funny because that’s the only type of humor they can understand. Sad. Get an education and stop with the attacks on people.
Go Val!
OK Peoples… He’s now rich…. DOES NOT NEED MORE MONEY….. So why not be happy !!!! Nuf Said…
If he made GOOD money in his younger years… and NOT have to worry about being fit for roles…. Then why not do what makes you happy.. If it’s eating… again.. why not? Let him be happy….. Nuff Said…
