VAL KILMER - KILMER BACKS ARSENAL

Hollywood star VAL KILMER is settling into British life with ease as he stars on London's West End stage - he's a keen supporter of top London soccer club ARSENAL.

Kilmer, who is currently appearing in THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE at the PLAYHOUSE THEATRE, is such a fan of the team he insisted on bringing his own Arsenal coffee mugs with him when he arrived in the British capital.

He says, "The mugs belong to my 10-year-old son who is an Arsenal supporter - he gets that from my ex-wife JOANNE WHALLEY, who is British.

"I guess that makes me an Arsenal supporter too."

Other famous Arsenal fans include KEANU REEVES, DEMI MOORE, former ALL SAINTS NICOLE and NATALIE APPLETON, DIDO, DAVID SCHWIMMER, SAFFRON BURROWS and ex-SEX PISTOL JOHN LYDON.
