Kilmer, who played Tom 'Ice Man' Kazansky opposite Tom Cruise's Maverick in Tony Scott's benchmark action movie, revealed his battle with cancer in 2017, after several years of rumours surrounding his wellbeing.

He spoke about his recovery from cancer with The Hollywood Reporter, revealing that he'd undergone a procedure to his trachea which had left his voice raspy and leaving him often short of breath.

However, he appears to have recovered from the surgery, and in recent months has gone on the road with a one-man show based on the life of Mark Twain, in which he plays the celebrated writer.

He also reprised his role of Ice Man in the forthcoming Top Gun: Maverick, which sees Cruise's pilot back as a trainer in flight school.

Also starring Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris and John Hamm, it's due out in June 2020.
