Val Kilmer had been dogged by rumors that he was a Hollywood diva and a ache to work with … however one costar and buddy tells TMZ that is a complete crock.

Danny Trejo, who was among the many star-studded solid of “Warmth” with Val, tells TMZ … Val obtained a nasty rap for being troublesome to work with — however the icon wasn’t high-maintenance — he was a “perfectionist.” There is a huge distinction, DT makes clear.

As you sadly know … the legendary actor died Tuesday on the age of 65 — his dying sending shockwaves by means of Hollywood as most did not understand his well being had deteriorated so severely.

Danny needed to set the document straight, that Val was cool to everybody on a movie set — he merely believed if one thing may very well be performed higher, he needed it performed that means. And that ain’t the identical as a star being a blowhard for ego’s sake.

Highlighting what a considerate dude Val truly was, Danny shared one among his favourite recollections from their time on “Warmth” — and it is kinda a tear-jerker now.

At some point, Val confirmed as much as set carrying a elaborate and clearly very costly leather-based jacket — and Danny commented on how a lot he favored it. The subsequent day, there was one in his trailer … a present from Val.

Danny says the one concern he ever had with Val … his pal did not get nominated for an Oscar as Doc Holliday in “Tombstone.”
