Watch Val Kilmer’s final film scene as he reunited with Tom Cruise in Top Gun… but was so ill his voice was cloned by AIThe American's incredible spell of Hollywood blockbusters in the 80s and 90s made him one of the highest paid stars of that generation.
Kilmer's final career role saw him return to the Top Gun franchise where he first found global success.
Thirty six years after playing the "Iceman", he made a brief cameo in the film's 2022 sequel Top Gun: Maverick.
The successful film marked the last on screen performance for Kilmer who had to bravely fight to return to the big screen due to his ongoing health issues.
Opting not to shy away from his real-life health struggles, the film presented Iceman as facing a serious battle of his own with his condition and speech both rapidly deteriorating.
In a final brave scene he manages to say a few raspy lines to an emotional Maverick which was made possible due to a clever AI generated voice modelling system called Sonantic.
Kilmer led a quiet life since his cancer diagnosis over a decade ago with him rarely being pictured.
