Val Kilmer’s Transformation Into Jim Morrison Was Crazier Than We Realized
- by Anthony Spencer
Val Kilmer is one of the most talented performers of his era, and while his career did not play out like many would have predicted, the truth is that the man had plenty of successful films back in his prime. His time playing Batman saw him alongside Nicole Kidman and Jim Carrey, while Top Gun had him alongside Tom Cruise. Kilmer did it all in his prime, and he forged an interesting legacy.
During the 90s, Kilmer took on the role of Jim Morrison for The Doors, and he received plenty of acclaim for his performance. However, over the years, stories have emerged from the film that paint Kilmer’s time as the Lizard King in a different light.
One of the most ridiculous stories to emerge from Val Kilmer’s time as Jim Morrison actually stems from an incident that took place before filming even started. It was during the audition process that Val Kilmer took things way too far and ended up assaulting someone who was trying to land a role in the film.
