Val Kilmer was “the coolest cat,” remembers his Top Gun co-star Barry Tubb. In the 1986 hit that made Kilmer a star, Tubb played Wolfman, the wingman to Kilmer’s Iceman, and Tubb spoke to BBC News following Kilmer’s death this week aged 65.

Val Kilmer had a face that belonged in movies. A stunningly beautiful heartthrob known for his chiseled jaw and shock of blonde hair that looked great either messy or perfectly coiffed, Kilmer practically glowed whenever he was onscreen, as if he was put on Earth by God himself for the purpose of getting immortalized on film.

Charismatic actor Val Kilmer, handsome star of "Top Gun" and "Batman Forever," who played Jim Morrison in "The Doors," has died at age 65.
