Val Kilmer has agreed to help someone survive the apocalypse – and it didn’t take much to persuade him.

The revelation popped up after user CharlieTreeOne asked Reddit which celebrities would be on their “apocalypse dream team”. Another user called out Batman and Heat star Kilmer, who uses the social media site, to be on his team – and got a swift and successful response.

“Since you are the first to ever ask me that, sure thing,” wrote Kilmer in reply.

Kilmer rose to fame as Iceman in the 1986 classic Top Gun, before playing Batman in 1995’s Batman Forever. As a fighter pilot and billionaire vigilante, it’s fair to say he’d be a good shout in an apocalypse survival situation.

Jedi_Outcast suggested Keith Richards because “he can’t be killed by conventional weaponry” – while Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Charlize Theron, Matt Damon and Gordon Ramsay also got a mention.
