Cancer.As many know, Val Kilmer was one of the premier movie stars of the 1980s and 1990s.His breakout roles in Top Secret! and Real Genius in 1984 and 1985 showcased his comedic talents and charisma.But it was his co-starring role in Top Gun as the main antagonist Ice Man that truly caught the eyes of the industry and public.He would go on to star in Willow, The Doors, Thunderheart, Tombstone, Batman Forever, Heat, The Saint, etc.However, he developed a difficult reputation that he recently owned up to. He told a Reddit thread:"I didn't do enough hand-holding and flattering and reassuring to the financiers," Kilmer wrote. "I only cared about the acting and that didn't translate to caring about the film or all that money. I like to take risks and this often gave the impression I was willing to risk their money not being returned, which was foolish of me. I understand that now. And sometimes when you are the head of a project and the lead actor is usually the reason a film is being made, unless it's a superstar director, then [it's] only fair to make people feel good and happy they are at work. I was often unhappy trying to make pictures better."So once the 2000s hit, he didn’t have the number of roles that he was used to getting. They weren’t as high profile. He’d had a good role now and then, but his star was quickly fading.Val Kilmer also admitted to The New York Times:“In an unflinching attempt to empower directors, actors and other collaborators to honor the truth and essence of each project, an attempt to breathe Suzukian life into a myriad of Hollywood moments, I had been deemed difficult and alienated the head of every major studio,” he told the Times. “Everyone has to work out their own salvation. How to live and by what morality, and I found that the part that I feel bad about is hurting somebody in the process.”But not everyone hated Kilmer’s approach. Some respected it. His Tombstone co-star Michael Biehn said:People ask me what it’s like to work with Val Kilmer. I don’t know. Never met him. Never shook his hand. I know Doc Holliday, but I don’t know [Kilmer].”Kilmer escaped somewhat into the shadows for a while. He bought a ranch in New Mexico, and, yes, he did go through a weight gain for a few years.He was forced to sell the ranch in 2011. By 2012, he had lost all of the weight. He was actually accused of being too thin by the tabloids.In 2015, Kilmer was taken to the hospital. Reports stated that it was because of a cancerous tumor. His co-star (The Ghost and the Darkness) Michael Douglas leaked it to the press. Kilmer denied it in public.It wasn’t until two years later that he came out and confirmed that he had cancer and had a tracheotomy because of it.Before that, in 2012, he took on the role of Mark Twain to rave reviews. It was a one-man play that eventually became a 90-minute film that he toured with starting in 2017.Here’s a clip. He was amazing in the role.As the film toured, people began to see and hear a different Val Kilmer.It was revealed that a procedure on his trachea has reduced his voice to a rasp and rendered him short of breath. Overall, Kilmer underwent chemotherapy and two tracheotomies. In 2020, Kilmer reported that he had been cancer-free for four years and that he uses a feeding tube to feed himself because he can no longer eat.Here is what he sounded like in 2018.Here he is talking in 2020 about his condition, as well as reuniting with Tom Cruise in the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick.Kilmer recently released an amazing memoir called I'm Your Huckleberry: A Memoir.It’s an outstanding book. I highly recommend it. You should also follow him on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. He’s very humble and positive.Please follow The Tao of Screenwriting for more fun Movie/TV discussions, as well as screenwriting and film industry insights. Ask me questions.

Yes, that is correct. it is true that this is likely to happen. Herewith, reproduced from an article about the subject taken from Are Brexit Expats Really Set to Lose Their British Bank Accounts?Because the Uk Government has failed the negotiations with Eu banking Officials, the effective operations of all affected bank accounts can no longer simply continue to run or “work” after or BEFORE (!!!) December 31 2020 when Brexit kicks in.UPDATE to the Uk Brexit Living in Europe Website arrived in the e mail boxes of Uk Citizens living in France last night, as part of the UK Governments “response” (if you can name it that !!) to the recent warning articles in several Uk Newspapers.“Do not hold your breath for help from that direction”.The UK government told British newspaper The Times that "the provision of banking services is a commercial decision for firms based on a number of factors" so Brits in France probably shouldn't hold their breath for any help from that direction.OUCH……Here is word for word that rather unhelpful Government “uopdate” which leaves it all to YOU the poor bloody bank account customer to “contact your provider” (read BANK.Read the UK Gov website to see it.Url to UK Government web site advice update.Living in EuropeExtract of text from Gov website update:Banking and financial servicesMost people living in Europe should not see any change to their banking when the transition period ends (31 December 2020). Whether UK banks can service customers living in an EEA country is a matter of local law and regulation. Also banks are set up differently, and may have taken different actions to continue to serve their customers.Your bank or finance provider should contact you if they need to make any changes to your product or the way they provide it. If you have any concerns about whether you might be affected, contact your provider or seek independent financial advice.Extracted text ENDS.a matter of local regulation (read in Europe not the UK) , Set up differently, May have…..different actions (read possibly having to close your bank accounts) …..its rather “wooly” isnt it? I mean it does NOT say “it is not going to happen” does it…..and because they have seen the recent articles, they have responded NOT with a robust reassuring denial, but instead, they say this rather “open ended” update. I wouldn’t trust it….“The Local” reports as follows, and clearly says that in SOME countries UK Banks have decided that to apply for new “Passporting Rights” after Brexit is “not worth the hassle” (read you and your families money are not worth it to them).Apparently, accordding to “The Local”, and the article url for you to read yourselves,https://www.thelocal.fr/20200921/how-post-brexit-bank-changes-will-affect-british-people-in-franceHere is part of the article from “The Local” that warns about this for some customers.some banks have apparently decided that this is not worth the hassle in certain EU countries and have begun writing to their British customers registered as living abroad to inform them that they will be closing their accounts or cancelling their credit cards.EXTRACT from “The Local” :Over the weekend it was reported that, with just three months to go until the Brexit transition period ends, the UK has so far not managed to negotiate a continuation of EU banking rules - known as passporting.This means that all UK banks will need to apply for new banking licences to provide certain services in each of the 27 different EU countries.But NOT ALL BANKS are apparently going to bother to do the work…leaving their customers up”shit creek” potentialy, unless they can find another provider or banker who can do it for them.And some banks have apparently decided that this is not worth the hassle in certain EU countries and have begun writing to their British customers registered as living abroad to inform them that they will be closing their accounts or cancelling their credit cards.EXTRACT ENDSBetter all take urgent advice i think to be in the “safe side” and not the losing side…It is important to find out for peace of mind if your country will or will not be affected by this banking issue of Passporting or not. it is not all countries, not a blanket ban but it is very important to find out who is going to be affected (and why) .EXTRACT:Is it all banks?No, it's important to be clear that there is no blanket closure of accounts for all Brits living abroad, it depends on who you bank with and the type of account you have.Essentially, applying for new licences will create a lot more admin for banks.Banks already have to do this for many non-EU countries so clearly it is possible to do. But it seems that some banks are deciding that it's not worth the hassle of doing this for all 27 countries in the EU separately, especially ones where they only have a few customers.As a country that has a large number of British people living here (estimates vary from 150,000 to 300,000) there is a good chance that banks will decided that it is worth their while to obtain a licence for France.Is it all account types?No. Again, this depends on the type of account you have, with straightforward current/checking accounts less likely to be closed.It could also be the case that certain products become unavailable - for example many Barclaycard customers in France report being told that they will no longer be able to use their credit card.EXTRACT ENDSThe writer understands that HSBC should remain “unaffected” as this is a International Bank, but all UK banks ARE going to be affected. (But see Note below at end) *Lloyds, Barclays, and Coutts have already begun to inform their customers, both retail and business, that they will lose their accounts when the Brexit transitional period ends on 31 December, if not before. Lloyds in particular, being Britain’s largest banking group (including Halifax and Bank of Scotland) has confirmed that this may affect up to 13,000 customers, including those with current accounts in Holland, Slovakia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Portugal.According to The Sunday Times, Lloyds said: “If customers have regular deposits into, or payments out of, their account, they will need to make other arrangements before their account is closed.” Other banking institutions have yet to make any decisions about the situation, with Natwest and Santander said to be “considering their options”, and HSBC stating that as an international bank it would still be able to serve customers across the EU.Many are wondering whether this loss of accounts will happen, but as there have been no post-Brexit rules in place to continue or replace passporting (the current system for pan-European banking), as well as the December deadline fast approaching, it is looking likely that banks will go ahead and cease serving their EU customers.NOTE ****I am however unclear if HSBC refers to “across the Eu” as including its currently existing UK Accounts if their owners are soon to be “Ex Eu” or Ex UK EU Citizens, so PLEASE CHECK with them if this might apply soon to you.As an “after thought” for some people facing future Credit Card banking difficulties, as perhaps a emergencey payments “stop gap” measure, there are some non bank account Credit cards in France you can register for and use.NIKEL offers one such service in France, and you dont need to have a bank account to get one.Nickel en détail : Comment ouvrir un compte ?

I stank a lot during early high school, it resulted in me ostracised from everyone. I had horrible habits, my parents didn’t teach me about hygiene and I wasn’t financially independent.Eventually I started showering daily and it lessened.However I moved to a different school and my last few years weren’t too bad. My self esteem developed and I had a decent variety of friends.However I apparently still did have issues on some days, where I forgot to shower or wear old clothes. And some of the days my close friends would make subtle and snide remarks.And honestly, that hurt really bad - like a slice of a knife. I was clenching my teeth and trying not to shake during class. I guess my self esteem wasn’t as strong as I thought it was. I also was HIGHLY conscious of my smell.They were trying to do good I guess, to let me know in a discreet fashion but they couldn’t have been more clueless. Discreet doesn’t mean to make remarks about it in a classroom full of my classmates! Not to mention my crush!After graduation, a friend finally directly told me in private - sincerely, carefully and delicately. The tone was of caring and concern. I appreciated it gladly.Even better he recommended advice and good hygienic habits. I asked him if it was fine if we could meet up together so he could do a ‘smell check’ - basically just hanging out and confirming I didn’t smell. He agreed and seemed relieved that I was taking it seriously.I was also laid a bomb shell upon me. He told me all this time, everyone noticed my smell and it wasn’t just him. I was shocked and confused. I asked him why didn’t anyone tell me directly and he replied that ‘because you wore the same clothes we just thought you were poor and accepted it’.He reassured me that he and everyone else still cared for me as a friend and that I was loved by everyone.So that was perfect and I’m glad to say I had passed his smell test haha! Even to this day I feel deeply indebted to him and we’ve both stayed in touch and grown closer since graduation.So the moral of the story -Tell the person directly and privatelyMake sure the tone isn’t of criticism but of concernOffer advice and an outline of your own techniquesReassure them that they’re still lovedOffer a confirmation ‘smell test’ of sorts
