Kilmer starred as naval aviator Tom "Iceman" Kazansky in 1986's Top Gun, which propelled him into stardom. Funny enough, the pop culture legend was iffy about taking on the role - but was contractually obligated by Paramount at the time to do so (and we're so glad he did). Kilmer reprised the role 36 years later for Top Gun: Maverick, in an emotional scene that sees Pete visit Iceman afꦉter hitting a crossroads in his life and career.
The reprisal echoed Kilmer's real-life health struggles, with Ice struggling to speak before telling Pete that the world needs him. Kilmer had lost his voice after a battle with throat cancer in 2017, and used his electric voice box to deliver his lines in the 2022 movie, which 🃏were digitally edited for clarity. We'll miss you, Iceman. You can be our wingman anytime.
