Val Kilmer basically epitomises the peak of 80s cool look. Plus, such a humble cool guy in life as well. Good things for you Val.

Agreed, except back in the 80s, I was in my 30s so I remember the era well, I don't recall any guys having their hair " bleach tipped" for lack of better words as people do today. His haircut was also unique compared to the regular 80s look as I remember.

They didn't really do a good job replacing his character. Someone both extremely hot but straight-cut and plays by the rules. Maybe hangman was supposed to be a little like that but he is not the same in the looks department.
He looks like such a relaxed and chilled character. No wonder they called him Iceman

I truly appreciate & applaud Val's resilience in the face of some pretty difficult times. It's also great to see him continue to master his craft in spite of it all.

Thank you for coming back to it Val
I saw original Top Gun, Loved it and never watched again, because I don't re-watch movies, especially decades later. Well over 35 yrs plus Val got throat cancer which affected his voice. So Top Gun 2.0 could be a stinker? No. They used that extra year or two to make it better. I LOVED IT. MOST OF ALL I LOVE Val was in movie. His roll was perfect. GREAT. *It would not be Top Gun without Val, ICEMAN, Val i'd be your Wing Man any time.*
Love his acting...His acting brings intense in character..
Thank you Val Kilmer ❤️
You all guys are sooo amazing! Thank you for the pleasure! You got it! X

Honestly as audience, I don't know what it is about planes either. I just always loved civil & modern military aviation. Have a huge thing for warbirds, warships/battle cruisers/etc, aircraft carriers too. My mom's the same way and did want to become an air force pilot, but they weren't accepting women at the time.
Got that nice smile Del Kilmer
Iceman was the best pilot. Ice cold, never made mistakes. Maverick on the other hand had the natural talent....or whatever, it is only fiction, however...
