Val Kilmer Took Shoes From Bobby Moynihan’s ‘SNL’ Dressing Room

by

Comedian Bobby Moynihan shared a funny story about a time Val Kilmer took a pair of his shoes from his dressing room at Saturday Night Live. The shoes were originally a gift to Moynihan, but Kilmer politely asked if he could have them, even though he already had a couple of pairs. Moynihan, surprisingly, agreed to give them to the actor. He recently told Entertainment Weekly about the strange exchange backstage.

I was in my dressing room, likely having a cigarette since I used to smoke, when there was a knock at the door. Before I could answer, Val Kilmer just walked in. He was carrying a few boxes of shoes and asked if I wanted a pair. Apparently, Usain Bolt had been giving shoes away to everyone, and Val somehow ended up with some. He offered me mine, but for some reason, I declined. He took them and left, and that was the last time I ever saw him. I have no idea why he needed so many shoes or why he didn’t even know his own size.

Val Kilmer, who passed away in April at 65 after a fight with pneumonia, is well-known for playing Batman in the 1995 film Batman Forever. He didn’t reprise the role in the sequel, Batman & Robin, with George Clooney taking over. While many fans wished he’d continued as the superhero, he seemed focused on a different purchase at the time. According to one account, he was simply looking for a good pair of shoes. “I’m happy Val Kilmer got exactly what he wanted then,” recalled Moynihan, fondly remembering the experience. “It was a perfect moment.”

Following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Atticus Mitchell, Moynihan has joined the world of Batman.

I’m really excited to explore the world of Batman through this new creative approach. We’re just beginning to do that in the upcoming series, and it’s been a lot of fun so far.
