But actor says he’ll have to do his homework if he wants to succeed in New Mexico
Monday, 10 November 2008
Val Kilmer is turning his hand to politics – with the help of actor and Californian politician Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Top Gun actor is to run for governor in his home state of New Mexico.
‘It's been my home for 25 years,’ he says. ‘I really love my state. I've always thought of myself as functioning as a candidate for them.
‘I'm approaching this as a serious endeavour. I would be very comfortable in my position as a representative for the people.
‘People in the state are being supportive.’
But Val, 48, wants to proceed with caution.
‘I know that I'm not yet qualified for the job and I don't want to be a train wreck,’ he tells the New York Post.
‘I plan to sit down with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Being famous as an actor is one thing - they take no prisoners in politics.’
Arnold, 61, has been governor of California since 2003.
