Kilmer has already proved his inconstancy to many women. His heart, rotating 180 degrees a day, was still a free bird, which no one was able to put in a cage of eternal love. This was in vain trying to make Angelina Jolie, MaireWinningham, Sher, Ellen Barkin, Elizabeth Shue, Michelle Pfeiffer, Cindy Crawford, Mira Srawi no, Jaycee Gosset, Daryl Hannah ... Even Joan Wel-Lee-Kilmer, the woman who was his wife as a whole eight years and having given birth to two children, often recalls with a shudder their joint life and thanks the fate that she managed to get rid of the delusion named Val ... Such is he - Val Kilmer: lover, rebel, hermit. Or do we not know something? ..
Who is he?
Val was born on December 31, 1959 on the outskirts of Los Angeles. His parents - housewife Gludis and real estate agent Eugene - divorced with a scandal when he was 9 years old, and he and his brothers Wesley and Mark lived on the grandfather's ranch in Santa Fe, then his father in Los Angeles. The blood of Val is densely mixed - there are Scots, Germans, Mongols, Irish and even Cherokee Indians in the family. This, perhaps, explains his contradictory nature.
For some time Val studied at Chetvers School, in Los Angeles, where he was seriously interested in dramatic art. At the age of 17, Val entered the prestigious New York School of Actor Julliard, becoming the youngest student. The young man, accustomed to free and spacious California, New York at first seemed a gloomy labyrinth. Together with Breaking in "Dzhulliarde" studied Michelle Pfeiffer and Kevin Spacey. With the first immediately began a romance, and with the second was first a fiery friendship, then - a cold war. It's because Spacey, according to Val, pulled the money from his father: having screwed himself into Val's confidence, Spacey began to cry that he would be thrown out of the faculty if he did not pay $ 18,000. As a result, Eugene Kilmer succumbed to pity and ordered a young Spacy check. Val assures that Spacey never returned the money - although Spacey has a completely different version of this story.
Red-haired Maire-Maggie, cat-Pfeiffer, great Cher ...
Back in Chetvers, Val met his first, in every sense, famous love - Maire Winingham, who later will play a major role in the series "Singing in the thorns." Young Mair was flattered by the ardent glances of a 16-year-old fellow student - Val was the subject of a sigh of a good half of the female school staff. Their romance began quite normally - romantic walks, fast sex in all places that are suitable and unfit for it ... With some interruptions (in 1977 Val went to New York) Val and Meir met for about 3 years. However, only the first months Val was genuinely in love. Too early, he felt the power over the opposite sex. The women themselves could not understand what attracted them so much to them - an unusual appearance, a sharp mind, a keen sense of humor, an inner strength of mind ... or his amazing ability to reincarnate. Val could change every second. Once his ex-wife Joan confessed: "Val can be rude, cold, contemptuous, gloomy, but it's never boring with him, because every next moment he's different. If really a true killer of love is boredom, then the love of Val can last forever. " In 1983, for the first time between women there was a serious clash on the basis of possessing Hack. He then starred in the youth television series "One is too much," his partners, ironically, were Mayr Wyningham and Michelle Pfeiffer. The first has long been in the category of the former, and the second has been in the status of a new one. Tender gaze, which Mare "in the old manner" threw at Kilmer, led the owner Michelle into a rage: the disassembly of the two beauties on the set ended in a small fight. Kilmer was so angry that he was publicly "divided", that he immediately stopped talking with both. Then the romance with Michel was interrupted at the peak of feelings - perhaps, therefore, Val devoted to her several poems in her collection "My paradise after burns", published in 1988 in a limited edition of 5,000 copies (by the way, one of the relatives of Val is the well-known American poetess Joyce Kilmer). After a while, Michelle and Val met again at a party of mutual friends and resumed the relationship. Gradually, love disappeared "to no," but the friendship remained. More than once, life has confronted them - for example, on the scoring of the cartoon "The Prince of Egypt" (1998). In 1984, the film debut of Val - in the movie "Top Secret", and the 24-year-old actor "woke up famous." However, the rebel Val never behaved, as befits a true Hollywood star. His startling personal life, he began by twisting the affair with Cher - one of the most scandalous women of the American stage and cinema. They drove on a motorcycle, indulged in drugs, Cher rolled crazy parties, right in the middle of which a couple ran off to the second floor and had sex on a bear's skin. Cher was older than Val at age 14 and knew full well that his passion would pass quickly. When this happened, and Val became interested in Ellen Barkin, wise with her cruel love experience, Cher did not wait, but abandoned him first. Val still has a feeling of extraordinary respect for her, talking about Cher: "This is a female legend - what she achieved reached unity." For Kilmer, this is tantamount to a post-confession of love - he does not even remember his other passions. For example, more recently, when asked if he was communicating with Maire Wainingham, he replied: "No, I had no idea what was wrong with her until I saw her next album on sale."
I declare you husband and wife ...
At these words, Val's heart sore with pain - it's not easy to say goodbye to your freedom, even for the sake of great love. But the quick glance of Joan's beautiful dark eyes restored his confidence. He loves - and when they love, they marry, do not they?
Val first saw the Englishwoman Joan Welly in 1983 in London, where they shot the film "Sovetosheno secret." Beauty fascinated him - he many times went to the play with her participation, and then wandered around the service entrance, but did not dare to approach. Joan slid a couple of times over it with an attentive glance - but in no way showed her interest. And in 1987, fate again brought them - they became partners in the George Lucas film "Willow." Val courted as never before - he took her to theaters, to restaurants, showered flowers and poems. Joan had not just an extraordinary appearance (the magazine Empire mentioned it in the list of the most beautiful people in the world). She was a strong spirit, intelligent, cheerful, understanding, used to strive for the goal and did it in the case of Hacking - gently but persistently. She needed an affair, not a permanent one, but a permanent man. As a result, Val surrendered, and during one of the walks, on top of the rock in Santa Fe, made her an offer. In February 1988, she became his wife.
Farewell, Joan! Hello, freedom!
In 1992 they had a daughter, Mercedes. Suddenly, Val became a mad father. He said: "The best that a person can create is a healthy little man." However, the relationship with Joan gradually became tense. Both were constantly on the road, and Kilmer was not at all used to do without women's caresses for a long time and increasingly looked at the engagement ring as if on a prison grille. Women continued to go crazy about him, it seemed that his marriage only warmed them up. And now he could not resist, once, then another, a third. Treason became a habit - in fact, he did not consider them treason, but only a small male prerogative. However, the well-wishers reported to Joan about Valov's adventures, and she immediately rushed to the shooting of "Tombstone" in 1993. The result of her visit was a grand scandal, and there are rumors that Val so enraged that he let his hands. But then he came to himself and on his knees begged Joan about forgiveness - and she forgave. In the autumn of 1994, she realized that she was pregnant again. Val was kind of happy - but on the other hand .... The feeling for Joan died, what was, does not return. Despite the word given to her, he again began to change and understood that he would not be able to stop. On the set of the film "Batman Forever", a scene came to an end that put an end to their relationship: Joan entered the trailer and found a half-naked Val with one of the assistant directors. The cunning paparazzi managed to capture this moment, and the picture circled the world's tabloids. In June 1995, Joan gave birth to Jack - home birth was replaced by an urgent cesarean - some believe that the cause was the stress experienced by Joan in the trailer. Anyway, and 8 weeks after the birth of Jack, his parents finally separated, and another 8 months later, an official divorce was held. About the fact that Joan filed for divorce, referring to "irreconcilable differences", Val learned from the news CNN. The capricious Cindy Crawford immediately fell free from Kilmer's marriage bonds. It is rumored that she even came to Val in Africa, where he went to travel to heal the spiritual wounds inflicted by divorce. After Cindy, the relay took the 20-year-old blonde Jaycee Gosset, whom Kilmer's friends described as "in all respects a nice girl" - they met almost 3 years, from 1998 to 2000. " Jasie honestly shut her eyes to what was between their meetings, and Val sometimes completely lost control and shame. The affair with the "one-day" fellow travelers, as Val himself would call them, was an endless stream. Costumers, make-up artists, masters of light, designers, etc. - who "gets by the hand". Well, of course, the actress ...
Sex at work? Why not!
Val Kilmer is not one of those who confine themselves to filmmates with kisses on the set. However, it is difficult to blame - because who can stand before the Hollywood beauties with whom he could play! For example, in front of the incredibly charming Mira Sorvino, who played the role of beloved girl first blind, and then seeing Val in the film "At first glance" (1999). It was Vala who was blamed for the break of Mira and Quentin Tarantino. The world was preceded by a charming, blond and blue-eyed, with angelic features Elizabeth Shu, who became his lover in the film "Saint" (1997). The entire set noticed that the notorious "chemistry" between the two so hissed. They did not meet for long, but Elizabeth somehow confessed that she had never had such a lover. Daryl Hannah is definitely a charismatic woman, who asks for a whip in her hands: as a lady in some sadomasochistic staging she would be inimitable. He and Kilmer were shot in 2001 in the film "Heavy Money." Filming took place in Hungary, and the novel was played out against the background of ancient Budapest. Paparazzi generously captured footage in which Val gently hugged Daryl significantly below the waist and climbed under her blouse. And, finally, Angelina Jolie - one of the latest hobbies Val, with whom he played in the film "Alexander" (2004). They were seen together in London, at the grave of Princess Diana - Angelina was crying on the shoulder of a companion. They were seen together in Los Angeles - they kissed in the secluded place of the famous restaurant. However, in the last year they are no longer seen together - Val was faithful to its volatility. The 2005 film, with the Hijacking in the title role, going in our box office under the title "Kiss Smile", surprisingly did not compromise any of the women who were with Kilmer on the set. Perhaps because recently Val has changed a lot. If earlier he was fond of only the powerful of this world - bright stars, equal to him, now he is tired of eternal popularity and from all-powerful women. According to his own admission, made quite recently, celebrities got bored with him, because "they eat egoism from the inside; They are so used to the fact that they admire and admire that they do not see anything around. They do not have a soul - and this is the only thing, for which only one can truly love a woman. " Kilmer says that now his ideal is a quiet, modest, sweet girl who can love the nature and his children, live on his ranch and do business. None of his "actresses" for this role clearly was not good. Although who knows what he will say tomorrow? After all, he is so changeable - today give him the right housewife, and tomorrow his ideal will be some African queen.
A new life: children and solitude.
However, there is a love in the life of Val that no one will eradicate and that it is impossible to conquer - these are his children. Mercedes and Jack now live with their father and then with their mother. With exhausting struggle, Val achieved double custody (at first the court transferred custody completely to Joan's conduct). On a 6-acre ranch near Santa Fe, Kilmer began his own order, his life there resembling the life of a hermit. Recently, he generally eschews sparkling Hollywood parties, and all the minutes that stand out between filming and theatrical performances prefer to spend free minutes on the ranch, in the company of the best friends. This is a blind sculptor Michael, a veteran of the Vietnam War, which also carries Indian blood, 2 dogs, a cat and 6 buffaloes. And, of course, children - when they come to the ranch, Val travels with them along with them, rafts down the river, farming. There is a feeling that Val is tired of the eternal cycle of women in his bed and became disillusioned with the secular way of life. Last Christmas he met in New York with his children, and then flew to Paris - but not to a beautiful lady or a noisy party, but to his friend, an Iranian, a man with very conservative views. Will there be a woman who Val loves so much that he will ask her to share with him his love for children, nature and a secluded lifestyle? Time will tell.
