The article clarifies that Val Kilmer is alive and well, despite a wave of confusion and incorrect reports on social media (particularly Twitter/X) suggesting he had passed away at age 65.
This misunderstanding stemmed from the tragic death of actor Treat Williams, who died at age 71 following a motorcycle accident. Social media users mistakenly conflated the news, leading many to believe it was Val Kilmer who had died, possibly due to confusion or misremembering Kilmer's own past health struggles with throat cancer.
The Nerdist piece debunks the rumor about Kilmer, explains that the confusion originated from the sad news about Treat Williams, and implicitly reminds readers that Kilmer is still active, having recently appeared via AI voice work and archival footage/stills in Top Gun: Maverick and starred in his documentary Val.
