Yesterday (Oct. 30, 2016), Michael Douglas confirmed what Val Kilmer has denied for years: the actor is battling cancer. Page Six reports that Douglas made the confession while discussing their 1996 film The Ghost in the Darkness in London saying, ?Val was a wonderful guy who is dealing with exactly what I had, and things don?t look too good for him,? Douglas, who battled tongue cancer back in 2010, revealed that?s why Kilmer has been keeping such a low profile the last few years. Rumors about Kilmer possibly having throat cancer surfaced last year when he was hospitalized after he began bleeding from his throat.
