Rumors have circulated for years about Val Kilmer’s health, and he is finally speaking out about it.

In 2016, People reported that Michael Douglas commented on his The Ghost and the Darkness co-star’s health. He said:

“The picture didn’t turn out as well as I hoped but I had a wonderful time. Val was a wonderful guy who is dealing with exactly what I had, and things don’t look too good for him,” Douglas said to host Jonathan Ross. “My prayers are with him. That’s why you haven’t heard too much from Val lately.”

At the time, Val denied the claim, stating that Michael was “misinformed.”

Now, however, Val is fessing up.

In a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” session, Val admitted something was up, but things are all good now. He said:

“He was probably trying to help me cause press probably asked where I was these days, and I did have a healing of cancer, but my tongue is still swollen altho [sic] healing all the time. Because I don’t sound my normal self yet people think I may still be under the weather.”
