Val Kilmer publicly denied rumors of throat cancer

The name of the famous American actor Val Kilmer the last few days does not come off the front pages of newspapers. And the fault was the words of no less well known actor Michael Douglas, who in an interview with journalist Jonathan Ross said that the 56-year-old Kilmer has long been unable to defeat cancer.

I do not have cancer!

Talks about Val being diagnosed with cancer appeared several years ago when he was seen with a tube in his throat. Since that moment the actor has strongly handed over and began to appear in the clothes closing this part of a body. However, after the statement of his stellar colleague, Val did not keep silent and denied all the gossip about cancer through the Internet, publishing an appeal to the fans on his Facebook page. Here are the lines that were written there:

"I learned that my friend and colleague Michael Douglas attributed to me a throat cancer. However, I can assure you that he was simply misinformed. I do not have cancer! Last time I talked with him a few years ago. Then I had a lump in my throat, there was discomfort and perspiration. It did not let me work quietly, and then I had a tour with my play Citizen Twain. I called Douglas and asked the doctor's phone number to go to the examination and make a diagnosis. I was diagnosed, but I assure you, this is not cancer. I'm still suffering with this, I still have a swollen tongue, but so far the best result is not obtained.

Make sure that I'm all right, you can next week. I will play 3 performances in Westwood and I will be happy to see everyone who is interested in me.

I am very grateful to everyone for their support and for the fact that many are worried about my health. It's hard for me to say why and why Michael said this about me, but I'm sure he did not want the bad. Douglas is a devoted friend and very good person. He is the brightest example of a legendary actor. "
