Val Kilmer admitted that one Hollywood breakup left him ‘crying every day’ for half a year | Hollywood News

Actor Val Kilmer had his fair share of Hollywood romances, dating celebrities such as Cindy Crawford, Angelina Jolie, and Cher. But out of all of them, the one that really shattered him was his breakup with Daryl Hannah. In his memoir I’m Your Huckleberry, Kilmer called their breakup the most painful experience of his love life. “Lord knows I’ve suffered heartache. But Daryl was by far the most painful of all,” he admitted. Kilmer passed away on Tuesday in Los Angeles at 65. According to his daughter, he suffered complications from pneumonia. The Batman Forever star had battled health issues for years, and according to Page Six, he had been bedridden for weeks before his death.  His struggle with throat cancer first became public in 2014, and though he recovered, multiple tracheotomies left him with a weakened voice, to the point he was forced to step away from acting for a while. But in 2022, he made a powerful return, reuniting with Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick.  Also read: The Third Edit: Val Kilmer, …

Ridley Scott Was Offered To Direct Top Gun: Maverick But Declined Because Of THIS Reason

Trigger Warning: This article contains mention of death and suicide While Top Gun: Maverick played its upper hand at the box office, it saw the absence of its original director, Tony Scott. Meanwhile, his brother Ridley Scott was offered the opportunity to direct the new installment; however, he declined. Recently, while opening up about the offer and the reason he had not accepted it, the director—who has given us some of the most remarkable movies such as Gladiator—made everyone a bit emotional. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ridley Scott revealed that the film was originally offered to him. He further explained, “I said, ‘I don’t want to follow my brother.’ Tony was always interested in today.” The House of Gucci director went on to mention that many of his projects are based on history. If not, he prefers to make movies based on fantasy or stories that explore science fiction. “Tony didn’t like fantasy,” the filmmaker added. The film Top Gun: Maverick was later directed by Joseph Kosinski. For those who may not …

The 10 Best Movies of 2022

What are the best movies of 2022? I can’t tell you, but I can tell you my favourites from this year. They come from all over the world — and they talk about all manners of topics. Among the 10 below, you’ll find a romantic murder mystery from South Korea. There is a post-#MeToo movie about fall from grace, from Germany and the US. A French and Irish film, respectively, look at the ill effects of misogyny and neglect on women and children. From the UK and the US, we have a couple of films about father-daughter and mother-daughter relationships. A couple are dominated by action — one old-school bombastic fun, another endlessly inventive. Another, again from Ireland, is about war and the foolishness of men. And a couple, from Iran and Russia, are set in repressive regimes, one told through a road trip, and another following a jailed politician. The thing that unites them is that they are all very good — though they’ve had varying levels of commercial success. Some have failed to …
